Carpathia?

Weren't they both ships? The question was about boats.

[Vipers]

OH is up town shopping, and I am going to meet her for a coffee and bring her home, so she always calls and arranges a time to meet.

Last week she calls and says "What's the time there"

I said "The same time as where you are why"................

I wonder at times.

True - you could have replied, "a lifeboat" !

I think my son has too many genes from his mother, I was picking him up in town last Saturday, rang him to see where he was:
Me: 'I'm nearly there, where are you?'
Son: 'I'm here'

Presumably your son was referring to your meeting point, in the same way as you told him you were 'nearly there'. You were nearly there, he was already there and waiting for you.

It would appear as though the genes somehow transferred to you rather than your son...

Lady at work...

"pass me the dandy knife please?"

What?

"it's like a pizza wheel with a knife on the end..."

"I'm nearly in to town, where are you" as there was no prearranged pick up point.
"I'm here" as in somewhere in town.

Must have been difficult for you to understand.

[Dr Murdoch]

This morning I arrive at the work car park and my mrs calls

Her "wheres the key for the Focus?!! I need it as it has the kids seats in it"

Me "No idea haven't seen them"

Her "Well the Cube (Nissan) key is here, so you must have the Focus key"

Me "I'm in the Cube"

Her "but the Cube key is here, so you must have the Focus key! Can you check"

Me "I'm in the Cube, the Focus key does not work in the Cube"

Her (penny beginning to drop) "Its so annoying" then hangs up.

i had made the assumption that if he was confused by his son saying "I am here" then this must be because they hadn't arranged where "here" was. Seemed pretty obvious to me.

[Bullett]

I always arrange where I'm picking someone up from before I agree to pick them up.
So I took here to mean the pick up point.

[MorganP104]

If I've already posted this, please accept my apologies...

In our house, I do the cars, as the missus has zero interest in such matters. A while back, on a whim, I bought an old E46 330d Touring, as I'd always fancied one. I'd bought it with the intention of it replacing my E39 528i Touring. Anyway, the 330d was a shed, so I ended up keeping the 528i.

Before I got shot of it, the missus wanted driving somewhere, so I pull round to get her in the 330d, to give it a run before sale.

It took her a good 5 minutes or so to realise the 330d wasn't the same BMW she'd been driven around in for the previous 2 years.

Before any smart alecs point out that the E46 and E39 are fairly similar designs, the cars were different colours, with different colour interiors!

It was because that's not what you said. You said "I'm nearly there" - well where's 'there'? It's no more clear than his 'here', which either way could be right: 'here' at our arranged meeting point if your first version is correct or 'here' in town if it's the second version.

i had made the assumption that if he was confused by his son saying "I am here" then this must be because they hadn't arranged where "here" was. Seemed pretty obvious to me.

And me.

who would have thought this would have been contentious. If you hadn't arranged a pickup point, say, but you knew the general place they wanted picking up from, well you could just drive there and then phone them to find out where specifically they were. I am sure you could imagine that scenario. Or maybe you force people to walk to meet you in the car, like an Uber driver.

If he was confused as you suggest, then perhaps the son was equally confused by his dad's 'nearly there' message. Nearly where, if 'here' wasn't already arranged?
