It's just that, to me, what went down last night seemed tantamount to a big hobnailed boot kicking seven bells out of a puppy........

I only caught the tail end of the convo. Was he saying he was in a remedial class at school?

Erm ................ yes

Sorry, but I'm not going to become all PC and pretend that I didn't suss a couple of weeks back that he was in remedial classes, and neither will I do anything similar about Lisa's admission that they were called 'Dunce Classes' in her school - which I actually find repellant and appaling, BTW.

I think that David does have some learning difficulties, but I don't think that Lisa does, as by her own admission 'I didn't bother to listen'

I think that she does display huge amounts of intelligence and if she harnessed it in a positive direction - who knows what she could become?

Oh and before I forget, I also think she's really naturally good-looking and she looks cute when she smiles - which is not often enough, unfortunately At many other times when I see her, she looks as if she's got a bag of spanners in her gob

I don't like 'why?' she seems to want to be a force for negativity instead of positivity but hey - I only get to live my own life and not anyone elses

The Hms did an IQ test before entering the house and Lisa was the lowest of them all i think she her score was only 55.

IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, only measures certain kinds of intellect - mostly academic. I have a reasonably high IQ (think its about 125 and will dig-out my MENSA scoresheet that I did as part of my PGDip in Mangagement Studies. Was also Myers Brigged and can drag that out of the loft if anyone's remotely interested?) and can assure you that none of the questions asked have anything at all to do with music, art, literature or any other things that many of those we admire and revere - or actually excel at.

I'd have gotten a far higher score if there were more 'arty farty' questions, and I was shocked at the score I DID get because I don't really 'see' numbers like many really 'clever people' (as I perceive them as being)do.

Oh, I can do my times tables, long division/multipliation, fractions, algebra, percentages etc - even logarithyms, sines, cosines, once I know the formula.

I have been able to understand Pythagoras Theorem, since the first time it was told to me - but only because it related to words.

'The square on the Hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the quare on the other two sides'

I could only work it out because the words meant something. Not because Maths means anything at all to me, because it doesn't - much to the disgust of my Father.

All it meant, is that once you've established the length of the longest side of an an equilateral triangle and then squared it - it would be equal to the total of the of the other two sides of of the same triangle, squared.

But it only means anything to me in words - not numbers. And my own Father couldn't understand that so I'd be shocked if any of you do LOL!

If all of the brilliantly genius Greek Mathematicians, like Pythagora, could express themselves like he could (and we STILL use his and the theorems of many other of his ilk, thousands of years on) then I think many more of us would be able to engage in this subject - rather than be afraid of it, like I was, mostly.

I bet you've all fallen to sleep? PMSL! You are forgiven xxx

You see, I see Charlie as the Belo character in there, not David. I'm not 100% sure, but I think David may genuinely have such a simple view on life that he takes people at face value. Lisa is nice to him, so he thinks she's ok - I don't really see him as smart enough to be an ace manipulator..... manipulated though, yes, definitely.

i laughed at that, not because i don't like him but because it was so obviously fake.. i thought you lot on here would be straight onto that but i come on today and everyone's loving him... i'm not, as i said i am still figuring him out but some of his conversations are more telling than he'd like us to think - esp the one a few nights ago when he was eating in bed and talking to Lisa.. not the chatter of a defenceless puppy...
