I'll need to have a read at that Carakeel to see if it answers some of the age old questions about men , so that I may begin to try to understand my hubby. I'll give the talking in short sentences a bash anyway. There may actually be some truth in that because when i've been talking for a lengthy period of time - usually during the football - and I ask him if he's listening to me , he always answers yes. When I ask him what I was talking about , he gives me bullet point answers and one day it dawned on me that he was only really picking out the salient points of what I was saying to sound convincing. He admitted that he just listened to about every fifth word in order to repeat some of it back to convince me that he had heard my story in it's entirety. I'm taking it though that much as you obviously adore Ratter , you won't be volunteering to test his own brand , homemade perfume ? I don't believe that anyone is THAT devoted lol.
