Nah, there were no women good enough. Apparently London took a lot of our rejects though. And I took up more lucrative employment rather than persist in academia. In those days you did not have to sell out to Microsoft or Google to make your fortune.

I think the strands of the character you are playing are getting confused. Good attempt in places but it's not convincing enough — even a drunk lout would not get confused and forget marrying their wife for her dad's money.

As George Best said when asked where all his money went: "I drank most of it and spent a lot on expensive women, and wasted the rest. I married late.

The character needs to be more bitter about failing to make it in academia. Esp. bitter ex-Oxbridge people typically always harp on about it after flunking out. The aggressive sexism towards women in academia does work to underline how pathetic the character feels b/c of failing.

I've been following along and noticed that he never uses contractions (probably thinks that makes him sound smart) but is happy to use "nah". Both of these are fine of course, but it's a strange mix.

A troll is defined as someone on the internet whose accurate opinion isn't the same as your own rose-tinted-spectacled viewpoint, which is generally shared with those who are misguided enough to reside within the same cultural bubble. Academia is a blinkered universe.
