In our minds, we put people into boxes who then slot into a particular section.
We don’t always look out of the sides and see it other than the first impression, we just presume.
I’m horrible at making assumptions and most are totally wrong.

Re: Presumptions

Presume all you like but never assume because it makes an ass of you and me!

He probably couldn't alp it. I wonder what the horn sounded like?

Re: Presumptions

Just been watching the Chase and one of the contestants had purple hair pushed up into three spikes, face jewellery and tats up his arms. Thurned out to be a really nice guy who does lots for the community.

You took the words out of my mouth Longdogs...
I thought... 'What do you look like'...With face piercings and I believe he would have spent his winnings on a tattoo (a sleeve on the other arm) ..He looked like a right plonker, but he was quite down to earth, a well educated and decent chap.
Just a bit eccentric with dubious priorities..... A bit limited in his job prospects looking like that.

Mark was on form tonight though and they lost, even having accumulated a decent score (19).....I liked the Irish bloke, very sharp...

The girl who got knocked out was some kind of a scientist, these highly educated people never do well do they. I suppose their knowledge is far too limited.
