Was it my passionate monologue in the Bovril thread that made you decide upon a (sort of) dignified (sort of) silence?
Just your general posting attitude which veers from passive aggressive to just aggressive. The lease car thread is good example. You also kind of proved my point in your response.

Just asked if we have any headache tablets.
' Why, do you have a headache ? '
My wife does this. My response is "No, I'm just peckish and a I thought a couple of paracetamol would just hit the spot."' Why, do you have a headache ? '
From my 20 year old daughter while we were watching "The Undateables" with my 9 year old lad. Aspergers suffer says "I've only got half a heart" as he's looking for love. Daughter says "Having half a heart isn't that bad, he looks ok."
Me and the boy pissed ourselves and told her she should appear on the program as "the girl who takes everything literally."

I renewed the House insurance, slightly complicated by a minor subsidence risk, got it down by £150 based on the renewal, pre=empted all the probable reservations by getting higher levels of buildings and contents cover, plus I listed specific items of value explicitly so I thought I was safe.
Firstly she goes mental at me for changing from Flux with the ongoing subsidence situation, I explained that Adrian S Flux are the broker and may insure us with any insurance underwriter, that they dont give a toss or have any ongoing interest other than flogging insurance. This seemed to placate.
Then she asked why I covered the specific items, she said that it gives them a list of stuff to steal, I just laughed at this, so insurance companies are just a front for wholesale burglary, hmm yeah, right, so high net worth individuals with priceless antiques and works of art, insured for millions are just waiting for Colin from the Norwich Union HQ to scale the walls and have it all away, I suppose it is a possibility but our few bits and pieces wouldn't even register even if their whole database was stuck on the internet, as risks go I would say it is so small as to be irrelevant and not even worth mentioning, but no, it was a reason why I was an idiot, not clever like her who wouldnt tell the insurance that we own stuff we want insures, that what they want....
Its strange, she is very intelligent, but weird when it comes to perceiving risk, I was turning Jaundiced due to a bile duct problem last year and she told me to stop moaning !
Hate to break it to you, but really, she's not. She might be very 'clever' (ie very good at maths or a solicitor, or something else someone with a good memory and/or aptitude could learn), but that's not intelligence.Firstly she goes mental at me for changing from Flux with the ongoing subsidence situation, I explained that Adrian S Flux are the broker and may insure us with any insurance underwriter, that they dont give a toss or have any ongoing interest other than flogging insurance.

I know someone who's passed lots and lots of exams and is widely perceived as being 'intelligent', but really he isn't, he's good at passing exams, but severely lacking in even the most basic intelligence.

Not sure what you get out of the (so far all UK deals) leasing thread if you live in switzerland to be honest, seems a weird place to lurk. Or is this another tax fiddle?
No fiddle. As noted in that thread, I have ordered a Golf R. I pay all UK taxes at source in the UK. I don't know what you mean by "another tax fiddle".To be open, my profile (thanks for checking it out) is out of date, I live in the UK at the moment in the lovely Yorkshire dales. Happy to take you for a spin and buy you a pint if you are ever in the area.
Back to the topic...
... my Mrs asked "does our new Golf have the butterfly valves on the exhaust?"... "yes of course - it's just like the hatch", I replied. Hmm.... Apparently it doesn't, it just has the increased artificial cabin sound, no butterfly valves. Doh.

I'm getting married on Friday. There will be hog roast served to guests at the reception. Last Friday we took the inlaws out to dinner as a thank you for all their help with preparations etc. On the way, the future Mrs Pothole says "This is nice, I'm going out for dinner tonight, on Tuesday (went to the theatre with friends) AND next Friday!"

I was watching the match last night too.
While the wife was buggering about on her phone, she sneezed.
Then said "thank you"
She is assuming someone said "bless you" and is thanking them. Of course most people think saying bless you when someone sneezes is a stupid habit and gave it up years ago While the wife was buggering about on her phone, she sneezed.
Then said "thank you"
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE NOW, AS THE VOICE IS MOST PROBABLY TELLING HER TO USE THE REALLY SHARP KNIFE!!!!!
Another mum one.
Popped in for a cuppa yesterday.
During our conversation... Actually, no, in the middle of me talking (but that's another story!) she interrupted to tell me:
'I've been doing these puzzles, they're brain things called.... er... ummm. Brain... something...'
Are they to help with memory etc. mum?
'Yes, exactly, to help keep my brain active and my memory sharp'
OK then
Good grief I'll miss her when she's not around anymore...

This, from my Missus yesterday, in all seriousness.
"Are rabbits vegetarian then?"
When I laughed and said of course they bloody well are.
She got the grump
and countered "Well they might not be, they might eat small animals like mice".
WTF? She's in her late 30's with a PHd and we live on a farm.
