This is from an email i got, look at the attachment after you have read the message

Last Monday I was in Halfords. I was at the cashier's till queuing up behind a rather attractive woman who was asking the cashier for a seven-ten cap. A look of confusion came over the male cashier's face. "What's a seven ten cap, he asked"? "You know, it's right on the engine", she replied. "Mine got lost some how and I need a new one". "What does it do, the cashier asked"?
She said she didn't know, but its always been there. The assistant gave her a note pad and asked her if she could draw a picture. So She makes a circle about 3 inches in diameter and in the centre she writes 710.

@Sleepy - LOL! you flatter me! proof?

Awww *hug* maybe you need a little home tutoring then?

Ah! I see - but I didn't, so maybe I am sitting in a suspense account somewhere!

ROFLMAO!!!!

That reminds me. My sister had a new Celica as a company car. I was very impressed and wanted to have a look under the bonnet - you know? as you do? Only to find every cap was colour coded and written on, and mapped - as if it was anticipated this would be a woman's choice of car

That said, at the time I inherited my Rover Stirling...I opened the bonnet only to find the only parts I could identify were the battery and the dipstick *sigh* the electronics of a 2.7l 24valve find your way around this but better pay a Rover dealer lost me

Proof? Well erm, it is how it is! Every male i knew in school (bar about 5) were generally stupid, the girls (all bar a certain holistic percentage) were intelligent. Whether this is due to the blokes having other concerns, i don't know. Then i moved on to other things and spent about 2 years around a mix of women and men, what do i find, not only are the women smarter, they are a lot more attractive And proof of you being intelligent, one only has to read to see

Awww *hug* maybe you need a little home tutoring then?

Der ish no hopees for mee

Quite often they can track history and things like that. If you have got some spyware somewhere on your machine they send out all your movements to a number of online companies, usually advertising. Be vigilant

Undoubtedly it is the same on a Ford Ka, or one of those sporty little cars that looks like they have been cut in half and someone forgot to put the other part back on The undeniable truth is though that this situation is regarding two women is it not I think that speaks for itself Scientist of the year i think i am in for this years nobel prize even

Well my old Nova (piece of crap!) had possibly the least i have ever seen under the bonnet, how it managed to go wrong quite so much on so little i am unsure

@Sleepy - At least you can remember school btw - I was so confident you would up the rating for Wales by a singular entry

LMAO! there is, since you reach your IQ peak in your 20s according to Georgi...me? I am on my way out towards a handicapped headstart!

I see! Well I have one of those spyware cleaners, but have little to hide...oh!! except that my hubby has been looking for a two seater soft top for the last 3 months

Less than a metro? LOL! someone I worked with many many years ago bought a Nova after he passed his test...if you moved the passenger carpet you could see the road below, and the passenger seat was not bolted in and used to turn the opposite way to the car at a roundabout!! we used to call it the Flintstone car!

LOL Erm, it is a haze but it is easy to remember about 3 days of the year when i was in school It is a simple method of demographics actually, since this is a more ruralised country and fewer people have access to computers then there are going to be less people doing the test. The problem as i see it is the lack of people not the lack of intelligence. If one was to even out the population gaps it would probably come out fairly even...IMO. Did i up it or was i just as bad

Well i am 20 this year so pretty soon i will curing cancer no doubt

Oh the scandal!!! The truth is you can be tracked whatever you do, you can however minimise the tracking with programs like you mention. The only thing they would find in my internet history is lots of ICE Oh and CDs

LOL Mine wasn't quite that bad, it actually had bucket seats but that was about it In fact i think my Lawnmower had more low end grunt Cruise control, well my car had that, it was called the choke, one could quite happily go 40 without touching the accelerator and just pulling the choke out

LOL! Well I agree re demographics and computers in the home etc, as a born northerner, there are few homes I visit up there with access to the net. As a southern living person, a pc is as popular as a video in a home.

That would be wonderful!! but I am thinking this would take as much knowledge as it does IQ

LMAO! the torque of the town huh?

I thought someone would post this up, I considered doing it myself, my IQ is 127 (apparently) I nailed the language questions, (10/10) they were really the only ones I was interested in, I forgot about the rest until I got the score back. I got the Constable question though, I were well impressed!

I really hope they do not take this as gospel, it is not an accurate representation of the people, and to use this in any scientific or educational facility would be a joke!

Surely not, i could string a few atoms together or something, maybe add some cabbage

ICE = In Car Entertainment

Torque of the town indeed, everyone thought i was coming to mow their lawn for them

LOL! trust Ysh then! I got 10/10 for language too - I would have been amazed until I saw the questions! There was a celeb there who spoke 8 languages and I cringed!!

Well done on Constable! I should have got that but was looking for something much simpler, and in which case more ambiguous

You forgot to add the "like man/geezer" at the end

I am less of a man to hear this score, woe is me

Seriously, well done

Cabbage!! they forgot the cabbage!! (you should patent it quick!!!)

Ah!!! well, as you know, I did manage to fit my own stereo and multi change CD...still need to work on the dampening though - we learn by trial and error

LMAO!!

The thing with the language is that apparently it is the easiest part of it, my language is good, I generally do well on spellings etc and find them easy, the logic side is weak for me normally, as is the math side, but for some reason the math clicked and I did well (dropped two on math). Perception is where I dropped a lot, rotating letters and patterns are skills I don't think I'll need.

The thing with the Constable question was not the artists that I recognised, it was the bus and stagecoach bit that clicked (I know that stagecoach was Wild West. )

Hey!! we have already determined you are geographically challenged!

Pfff, don't congratulate me, my skills are incredibly localised, sit me in front of essay and I'll write you pages, giveme logic and perception questions and I ask for a dissertation.

I guessed a lot of the questions in the last 60. Guesses paid off.

Oh ok - dashed my full marks then! I tend to do ok on logic and perception, my maths is dire - which is sad considering my profession

So what is wild west about the painters? Constable painted in the East! whatever - you got it and I didn't

Well, all of this said, my mental agility obviously far outweighs my physical agility - who would consider needing stitches in her hand after trying to make a cup of tea, one hour prior to securing a table for birthday drinks and a cup final?

I know, it is irreprehensible! I am doing it now!

You did, yes. PM me with specifics and i will find you the links
