I'm no expert, but I'm absolutely 100% certain that's the Dunning-Kruger effect at work

Dunning

The study was inspired by the case of McArthur Wheeler, a man who robbed two banks after covering his face with lemon juice in the mistaken belief that, as lemon juice is usable as invisible ink, it would prevent his face from being recorded on surveillance cameras

Yup.

Sounds about right.

That's the clever people can't believe thick people are so thick and thick people can't believe clever people are so clever thing isn't it?

More about self-perception than perception of others: people of limited knowledge and understanding think highly of themselves because they don't know any better, while those who know their onions realise their own limits and thus underestimate their true worth.

I had a cracked windscreen this time last year that ended up being a huge hassle - not risking that again! I'll scrape instead

Lots of people say that.

I've not cracked a windscreen yet.

With the Big Bloo Volvo, I used two 2 litre pop bottles full of warm water, otherwise I'd have been scraping for a week.

Obviously you have to squeegee the water off before it cools too much & freezes again.

Plus coz the glass is warmer, it doesn't mist up so much inside.

Anyway, back to the fray - this thing is supposed to be finished before 1pm, and I can't even remember what I still need to do

So, if I think I'm crap at what I do then I'm really very good?
Get in! I'm a fecking genius then.

[zeitghost]

Me too.

Genius level, me.

Depends wot you're comparing me with of course.

What I find really frightening is that these people think they're good.

Ah Zeity, surely you know that people who actually are good think they aren't?

Yeah, wot he said

Afternoon all

Getting very bored here. What ever possessed me to think that going permie would be a good idea?

Need to think about getting out within the next six months or else I can see myself rotting away here for ever...
