And it has her full name on the article. Anyone want to join me in throwing rocks at her house to help improve it's value by lowering the sales price?

I once took a map of East Anglia, showing county outlines but not names, out on the streets of Cambridge to find out what percentage of people knew where they lived. Only four out of ten people correctly identified the outline of Cambridgeshire. Culling may be the only answer, but how will you know when they're dead?

I've been saying this all along. Defertilise everyone at birth and then IQ test them before allowing them to have the reverse operation.

"I think Camelot are giving people the wrong impression - the card doesn't say to look for a colder or warmer temperature, it says to look for a higher or lower number. Six is a lower number than 8. Imagine how many people have been misled."


My impression is that if she has enough noodle to compose a sentence like that she must be just trying it on - hoping to win when she knows she has lost.

Nah, I think you'll find that's the journalist translating it for us to understand, and he/she has taken out all the *iinits* and *bovver* and the like \:D

We have a 60-y.o. woman friend who is a qualified nurse, and she doesn't know what type of food a curry is.

When she came back from her holiday last year we asked her where she had been. On being asked where she had been she replied along the lines of "I'm not sure - either the Carribean or the other side of Africa. It was an island with sandy beaches."

Do you know how long it would take to cull everyone? It's amazing. If some super nasty space alien decided to zap humans at a million a day, every day, it would take about 18 years to get rid of us all, in fact more if you allow for births along the way. I think - or is my maths wrong: 365m a year, 6b people, that's 18, right?

I'm not listening to my voices any more, I've got better things to do with the time. \:D

My missus, several years ago, watched the news about the volcanic eruption on Monserrat and worried that the Grand Prix would be affected........she had, of course, confused it with Monaco! \:D


Then again, she's also been caught out with the old gag about the misprint in the rare copies of the Oxford English Dictionary and went looking to see if our copy didn't contain the word *gullible* \:D

Yes, Stan, I was afraid of that possibility so I went into denial.

Another one: another qualified nurse whom we had invited to our home. Over the phone I carefully went through the directions. "Leave the A55 at junction 23, into Abergele, turn left at the second traffic lights, turn right after ... etc."

After I had finished there was a pause, followed by...

"Right, do you know where the old police station is?"

Real conversation with an American woman in Boston.

She: Excuse me but .. do you have an accent?

Me: No, none. But I think you do.

She: Oh really? No, I'm from New York"

\:D

And another:

He: So where are you from, then, ... I mean from London, obviously, but which part?

Me: Wales

He: Right.. I thought so.

A quote from Robert Heinlein: an adult who is neither literate nor numerate is not human. He is at best a monkey who has learned to speak and dress himself.

Yes because they are taught HOW to pass exams rather than anything useful. I still don't understand why things such as what a mortgage is, pensions, loans/debt for example aren't taught at school.
