People think I'm joking when I tell them I hate computers.

Can you build a website for our village fete/glee club/campaign against funny coloured immigrants?

And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

Doesn't have a scooby. Which is handy cos I can buy nearly anything 'for work' and get away with it.

While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

Ah, I mourn for the days when that was my primary job description!

I prefer the little Lady to not worry her pretty head about such things. So long as the money is on the table at the end of the month, she can concentrate on proper feminine things such as raising the children, cleaning the house and cooking my dinner.

At times when she is allowed to speak to for herself she's been known to say "RasputinDude is a glorified geek".

My wife knows I write software for investment banks. She is pretty clued up and has even done some programming herself in her previous job.

Although my mother could not understand what degree I did, even after 4 years she called it something to do with business and computers.

I did maths.
