It's a bloody miracle!

  1. The Norton's headlamp shell was a tad rusty, so a shiny new one from
    Ebay was the way forward.

    Today I got around to fitting it. What a fucking rat's nest! For a
    simple wiring loom there was a shedload of wires and connectors to deal
    with. But...

    Bugger me is it didn't all go back together and work first time.

    Electricals? Piece of piss mate. Easy.

    Good, you can help me fit my voltmeter/gear indicator when the cable
    extension arrives.

    It doesn't have those as standard?

    How... primitive.

    If all else fails get a woman to match up the coloured wires.
    <mine of useess information>
    Wierd variations on the theme of colour blindness are a strictly
    male genetic thing which does not affect wimmin.

  8. Regular readers will be stunned to learn that you are wrong.

    Do you REALLY trust wikipedia.
    Try reading it again - the gene involved is on the X chromozone,
    wimmin have 2 copies so they rarely (OK so not never) have the
    problem.

    The fact remains that wimmin USUALLY have better colour vision
    than men.

    So why are you still arguing?

    "Strictly male" "does not affect women"

    Just admit that you were wrong and move on.

    Infinitely more than you, yes.

    If you don't know what you're talking about, shut it before you reveal
    it to everyone. If you're caught spouting bollocks, admit it. Otherwise
    you simply reinforce your well-deserved reputation for being wrong.

    Your choice.

  12. Not as much as I trust you to be consistently wrong.
    I read it fine thanks. It says that 0.5% of women have some colour
    blindness.

    Try reading what you typed "a strictly make genetic thing which does
    not affect women" (I helpfully corrected your spelling).

    Here's a helpful hint. What you typed was wrong. Blustering and
    backpedalling won't disguise the fact.

    There's a reason you're a fucking joke.

  18. You're discounting the theory that I'm a particularly talented fuckwit,
    able to work with virtually no tools then?

    Not at all, I was making allowances for that. Which is why I even had
    to invent a new word to emphasise just how bad it was.
