Sounds like my brother-in-law. He studied at the school of: 'There's a bloke in our place....' (and then goes on to contradict what you've said based on this mysterious bloke's experience). There's a 'bloke in our place' for anything and everything. Just so long as he can contradict you based on 'fact' he's happy.alanp wrote:Thought so. He's a typical resident expert of the Sgt. Colon variety, who went to the school of My Dad Told Me, and postgraduated in What A Bloke At The Pub Said.
He also dislikes anybody with a degree. If you can't program the microwave it's: "Oh... these people with degrees eh? Can't even program a microwave" - or whatever random thing it happens to be. I once bought an answering machine because I was getting a lot of calls about teaching guitar. He thought an answering machine was pretentious.
Anyway, I'm on a tangent there sorry. Just can't stand my 'Yorkshire Ripper look-a-like' brother-in-law.
