Did 'nemesis' really call the person who was sponsoring his education "old-timer?" That's almost impossibly rude.



It's probably not word-for-word literally accurate, given that it is my ~10 year old recollection of a conversation and as an Irish storyteller I generally don't let facts get in the way of a Narrative. That said, this guy was routinely obnoxious enough to drive me to hatred just with classroom comments.

Edit: Seems I've told the story before on HN. My last recounting, two years ago, has the wording very slightly different. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=829901


I hope you sent that card :)


It's never too late.
