    Just saved a load of articles and code to read / play with over the Christmas break on to my laptop as I won't have constant net access after today; somehow I don't think my girlfriends going to be too pleased... Thanks to all the authors for keeping me entertained over the break, but if you ever see me in the street with a red haired girl, run for cover.... Anyone got any idea's on how I can bring her round?

    "In meetings, the person who is least competent usually does the most talking. Talking is a direct substitute for competence, at least in the minds of other people. Five minutes after you leave a meeting, you won't remember what anyone said but you will remember who did most of the talking. Withing a day your mind will translate that into a notion that the talker was unusually knowledgeable" - Scott Adams, Dilbert and the way of the weasel

          By directly comparing her to another woman and saying she's much much more beautiful then the other woman. (careful, not to a woman, but to the woman and not saying that you thing she's more beautiful, but that she is...) That's a nasty one so keep it for urself and use it only in very difficult situations. ;-) Tomaz Tomaz Stih, B.Sc.SE

From my limited experience I have realised that the female partner feels the need to be involved in the male partners activities. Not for the activity, but for the personal contact with the male partner. They honestly just want to be around us sometimes, strange that. Then, when they find they do not understand the activity enough to even pretend to like it, they loose the personal contact, which is bad. At that point they can do one of two things: Leave you be and satisfy themselves with other activities they do understand. Or they can try to disuade you from the confusing activity, to tear you away, so that they can get you to do knitting, or shopping, or trying on shoes, to satisfy the need for personal contact. The former rarely happens. Maybe you can point out Megan, Lauren, Trollslayer (but maybe use her real name, Elaine, because "Hi honey, meet Trollslayer" probably won't go down well) and the other ladies on CP, form a common contact point for her. Or you could just buy her chocolate, flowers and a diamond ring like benjymous suggested :rolleyes:

                  Tell her that she can either cope with it or not, because you can always slap ol' Mr. One Eye around yourself in the absence of anything better.

It even has some women you can talk to, not just guys. I don't ever talk to them though... only you honey, I promise. You are the only woman for me... *presesnts a boquet of roses*" Though technically, any girlfriend or wife who gets jealous of you or any guy on here talking to Megan or Lauren needs to seek therapy. It is not like we can cyber anyone on CP as it is all rather public.

                      Perhaps you could give her a few days now and later on get weeks ;) John 3:16
                      For God so loved the world,
                      that he gave his only begotten Son ( Jesus Christ ) ,
                      that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

                                  The male version of the UK press Agony Aunts, a kind of print version of Oprah etc ad infinitum, ad nauseum. In your case it could means pliers and a blowtorch though, I've seen some of your previous posts.:-D if(E_NOINTERFACE == pThat->QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown,(void**)&pUnk)) { // I aint no pUnk bitch! }

An Agony Aunt is someone that people in emotional agony write letters to to get advice. The Agony Aunt then prints the letters and her replies in a popular magazine. yours truly, Insipiddime Storepsychologist.

Maybe one should say "CP is great. It even has some women you can talk to, not just guys. I don't ever talk to them though... only you honey, I promise. You are the only woman for me... *presesnts a boquet of roses*" Though technically, any girlfriend or wife who gets jealous of you or any guy on here talking to Megan or Lauren needs to seek therapy. It is not like we can cyber anyone on CP as it is all rather public.

                                          Just saved a load of articles and code to read / play with over the Christmas break on to my laptop as I won't have constant net access after today; somehow I don't think my girlfriends going to be too pleased... Thanks to all the authors for keeping me entertained over the break, but if you ever see me in the street with a red haired girl, run for cover.... Anyone got any idea's on how I can bring her round?

                                          "In meetings, the person who is least competent usually does the most talking. Talking is a direct substitute for competence, at least in the minds of other people. Five minutes after you leave a meeting, you won't remember what anyone said but you will remember who did most of the talking. Withing a day your mind will translate that into a notion that the talker was unusually knowledgeable" - Scott Adams, Dilbert and the way of the weasel
