      Out of all of us five?! I’d say that based on size, I win that one, because I’m smaller, and therefore any cleverness that I have is tightly compressed in with all the other stuff floating around in my head. ironically, that simply makes me more dense, which is the opposite of what I am trying to convince you of! However, considering that in our last live chat I managed to steer the conversation to ballet and Glee, the boys might have something to say about that 😛

      Honestly, I think that everyone has their own specialist field, and their own areas of interest. No one is cleverer than anyone else. We’re only as clever as you guys at the end of the day. We’ve just been around for longer and have taken in more information in that time.

      There are many types of “cleverness”. A top level footballer is really clever, but perhaps in a different way to a university professor, and again in a different way to a business leader.

      Find what you are clever at, and stick to it.

      In the academic area, I take my hat off to mathematicians – I really could not do what they do!

      Remember the difference between being clever and being wise.

      Being clever is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.

      Being wise is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.

      Hehe, I like Will’s comment….although I think I’m supposed to say Me! Me! (to the who is cleverest) We would have to put our wits up against one another!!
