I LOL'ed. Have to admit I am baiting him for my own amusement. I apologise. I'm just a member of so many forums, I have encountered so many variety of trolls, and some of them, like our Kev here, are so inexperienced at trolling that they don't even realise when they are being called on it.
It's a great move by admin to tell him to go official or stop it, but still, I'm sorry I missed my chance to bait the kid. If he really is 19, that is.
Anyway over here in Ireland you will start school at approx. age 4, do 8-9 years of primary school, then 5-6 years of secondary. So the youngest you could be leaving school is 16. And any medicine degree in the country (if recollection is correct, you have Trinity, Cork and College of Surgeons) is at least 7 years, so the earliest you can qualify as a doctor is 24.
I didn't believe this guy's claims to begin with guys, I just decided that baiting him was offering no amusement. I am not sitting with baited breath for his all-Ireland seminars. And if they ever do emerge, will be first in with my pitchfork!
