A BMW mechanic was removing the cylinder head from the engine of a BMW 7 Series when he spotted a well-known cardiac surgeon in the garage. The cardiac surgeon was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage,
"Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?" The surgeon, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is it that I make £30,000 a year and you make £600,000, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The cardiac surgeon paused, leaned over and whispered to the mechanic:
Young Paddy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day. The next day he drove up and said, 'Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey's died.' Paddy replied, 'Well then just give me my money back.' The farmer said, 'Can't do that. I've already spent it.' Paddy said, 'OK, then, just bring me the dead donkey.' The farmer asked, 'What are you going to do with him?' Paddy said, 'I'm going to raffle him off.' The farmer said, 'You can't raffle a dead donkey!' Paddy said, 'Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he's dead.' A month later, the farmer met up with Paddy and asked, ' What happened with that dead donkey?' Paddy said, 'I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at £2 each and made a profit of £898' The farmer said, 'Didn't anyone complain?' Paddy said, 'Just the guy who won, so I gave him his £2 back....
Well women are like the EU they make up the rules as they go along to justify their existence - so our recourse is to apply for a derogation exempting us (GB) from the current set. Spoken by someone that use to enforce them..
At home just agree and carry on regardless Most of the time you'll know when it's time to listen normally in sync with survival instinct.

John. Did they mention that whilst William the Conqueror came to rule in England his relations wer busy conquering southern Italy and Sicily. This is why you find blond haired blue eyed people in Sicily and well as dark skinned people of Moorish extraction and olive skinned people of Greek and Roman extraction. It is a place full of interesting history and quite a bit of war and strife.
