I'm not sure he'd have got it without knowing our circs!
Crosswords, you can either do them or not.
I used to be able to do the Telegraph one, most of the time, and bits of the Times. But not under an hour or two, and very often needed to log on to the web site to get hints to finish it (The Tele one)
Did he do Sudoku as well?

No, he was a Times addict! He was not a driver, at least a front seat one but I had developed the perfect way of keeping him quiet - just buy the Times at the beginning of a journey! The trouble was it didn't take him many minutes to finish most of them!! :rolleyes:

Ouch!
Wifey bought me a times Crossword machine, years ago, which if you got stuck would give you the first letter, then the next etc. Sometimes i got the whole anwser and i still didn't "get" the answer.:rolleyes:

At least you could do better than me! I was always trying to think of different ways of deflecting the conversation topics! He was a linguist with a very deep interest and knowledge of words, names etc., so every journey in whichever country we were in, was spent trying to educate me on the derivations and structures of words and names. Even our nearest neighbour, who was a native Welsh speaker, used to come to ask Bernard all about the meaning and structures of the Welsh language!! Bernard was not a Welsh speaker but he was self-taugh the language and its nuances. He loved to go to the Welsh Shop to buy books to read - everything he learned was written down and used to re-test himself with regularly. I had to buy school exercise books by the gross and now I am left with a huge pile of …..' rubbish'.:D:D:D

As a French teacher, if I had done that with either of my wives, even the French one, the exercise books would have become my funeral pyre!
Wifey and i have a kind of shorthand which means, in a polite way, "shut the feck up I ain't interested!"
and after 30 years together we tend to know each others opinions on most things!
It is fortunate that we like and dislike the same things mostly!
My ex and I never managed to get this understanding, which I am sure was at least part of why we are no longer together!
Was Bernard interested in sport?
 
Evening all.

Anuvver boring day but at least it's sumfin to do all day.

I found out today that as well as having to use a punching in/out timecard that they pay the staff weekly! That'll screw up paying my monthly bills somewhat. :rolleyes:

On a better note, I was working with a bloke today who spoke and acted quite like Borat so that was fun. :D
