However congratulations to Dominic C as for the first time ever I felt compelled to use the 'lgnore List'.

You missed his point - there was part of that post which was true, but which could not be shown to be true using the basic axioms of the post.

In the interests of full disclosure we have no nanny, my wife earned 326 last month as a supply teaching assistant, and her hair is brown.

I'm selective from the point of not been seen as someone who'll turn up to any old event but is seen regularly at ones that matter.

There's a difference between a network whore who turns up for the free beer and one that networks effectively.

There's a difference between an honest network whore who turns up for the free beer and one that stands around with the other narcissists blowing sunshine up each others' bottoms.

FTFY.

I thought free beer was the point of networking.

I don't know why you've let him get under your skin the guy displays clear evidence of soft thinking. For example in the SU 35 thread:

He says

1) One aircraft would be unable to shoot down 50 cruise missiles.
(first premise, True)

2)Cruise missiles are significantly cheaper than a modern fighter.
(second premise, True)

3) Therefore we would be better to spend our money on cruise missiles rather than combat aircraft.
(conclusion, False)

The conclusion falls down because shooting down cruise missiles is not the primary function of EFA, GR4 or F35 nor was it an F3.

Ah all the usual thinly veiled misogyny is here as expected.
I am a woman and I earn a good living being technical in IT. I am sure that there are lots more like me who could do this too. I suspect I know why they dont though.

Even MF has not had that honour from me.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Oh don't be too harsh . Patience is a virtue.

Like most personality disorders, narcissistic personality disorder typically will decrease in intensity with age, with many people experiencing few of the most extreme symptoms by the time they are in the 40s or 50s.

You obviously didn't see the original post about contractors and their wives........

I have now. What a glamorous life this extraordinary high achiever, his trophy wife (not to mention his business partner and his model wife) leads!

I cannot remember when I was more envious.

[oracleslave]

Can she be deemed a trophy wife if she earns considerably more than he does though?
