I am an Idiot.

Hi

I am so thick on ordinary things.

I have put up an cooker extractor hood, got someone to do the electrics.

Fitted the glass hood and now found that I cannot open the cupboard door next to it.

I can do complex Maths in my head.

I am an expert in Nuclear, Chemical and Bacteriological Weapons

I cannot fit a simple Cooker Hood.

I am a nightmare

I would much rather be practical.

You should not talk to yourself like that.

Re: I am an Idiot.

You and I must have attended the same schools, swimfeeders! I feel your pain.

I have to say that I am a little tickled too. Is there any way you could swap the hinges and have the cabinet open the other way? Doing so might enable you to open it a little bit.

The glass hood must look wonderful and you are a good sport for telling such a good story on yourself.

Hi

It is a fact of life.

If you cannot laugh at yourself and accept your own limitations there is something wrong.

It is just me Bratti.

My skills are esoteric, a huge brain and genetic abnormalities which make me a dangerous fighting machine.

Absolutely sod all use in normal, everyday life.

I envy real people, Judd, Barry, Mups, Surfermom, Rhian, Art etc.

Much more important than me.

OGF is an engineer, as are others, essential people, I am useless at that.

Floydy is very fit and a logistics expert. OGF can run for miles, as can Surfermom.

Mups is an expert with animals, Rhian has a sense of style I could not ever achieve.

Art is funnier and classier than I am.

Much better people than I am.

I cannot run, a fact of life, a previous injury.

I have to stay and face all challenges.

I cannot escape confrontation, that does not make me aggressive, just a realist.

I do not respond to personal abuse or verbal insults or personal threats.

I am a complete arse if anyone threatens my family.

Re: I am an Idiot.

We all make our way in life with the talents we are blessed with but we all wish we had someone else's sometimes.

I can build, mend and fix just about anything but I do not have an imaginative or artistic bone in my body. I would love to be able to draw, paint or play a musical instrument but I am completely devoid of any natural talent.

But hey, c'est la vie, I guess I'll just stick to what I'm good at and keep on fixing things ...

Very wise Barry! I know what my talents are, so I have used them to earn money..... that way I can pay others to do what I am not able to.

Re: I am an Idiot.

Hi

Yes, I can get someone to swap the hinges.

I cannot do it myself, I am an idiot who can laugh at himself.

She, and she is a lady, is killing herself laughing at me.

It will take her less than 20 minutes to do it.

No charge, just the laugh at the Ex Boss.

It will keep the office happy for a few days.

Prat of the Year Award, again.

You often find in life that Nuclear Scientists don't know how to wire a plug.
