I may be wrong about this but isn't it because we're always right?

"and you are right, as always, dear and I'm sorry."

People don't rant when they are wrong. They keep quiet.

Perhaps when people screw up they don't like to broadcast it. EDIT: Too slow the Sage of Farnborough has spoken.

I'm invariably wrong. But I'm hardly going to accept that, am I? What kind of fool do you take me for?

Because everyone's permanently confused by the difference between "different opinions" and something [i]actually[/i] being "right" or "wrong"

If you're a bloke, you're wrong. This is the law of the world.
The sooner we accept that we're the emasculated sex nowadays the better. 😥

'A man's place is in the wrong.'

Things I have been wrong about recently:

Tone controls on HiFi amps - not required.
Backpacks on road bikes - as above.
Lycra - a necessary evil.
Aluminium - not forged by the Devil in the pits of Hell, apparantly.
Barnes - I miss him.
Suspension forks - I like them.
Disc brakes - see Suspension forks.
Racing - races are brilliant.
Vegetarians - they appear to have an irrefutable argument. I may soon join them.
Carbon fibre - will not explode the first time you crash.
Jummy Savile - not the cuddly funny uncle I always thought as a child.
Sheffield United - may not be the greatest football team of all time.
Noel Edmonds - yes, he is, isn't he?
Whisky - hic.
Pukka pies - actually edible - who'd a thunk it?
Tony Blair - need I say more?

See?
Change is good.

I'm bloody right about Top Gear though. 😀

I'm enjoying the ironery of a thread that suggests no one on STW is ever wrong........

No matter how right you are, PeterPoddy is always righter, and glupton1066 will know you're wrong.

I recognised early on that anything I write on here is bound to make me sound like a t*t, a*rse or kn*b.

Hence my user name (and password).

Now I can just pontificate and rant away safe in the understanding that we all know I'm a kn*b from the outset.

I think I'm always right, and wrong, simultaneously, in almost everything I say. I just say things to see which one feels least wrong, then go with that in the hope it turns out to be right.

I guess folk with strong opinons think they are right and they are the ones most likely to type stuff

I have been wrong numerous times on here [ i assume more often than I have relaised] and had my mind/opinion changed as well by debates on here.
Its does happen but I agree it is rare.

It's because all the people on the forum are above the average of all the people on the forum. And I am right about that but then you all know that already - see above.

nb - you may be right but I reserve the right to be righter.

As my sister said to my wife "well done, you've met mister right, mister always bloody right" So even people who are often wrong can sometimes be right.

I once got TJ to admit to modifying his stance (not to being actually wrong, mind) in one of those interminable dog debates.

Next time the dog debate came up again, he was saying the same things all over again. 🙁
