Helen, my other brother is an A1 whinger. However, asking him what he's going to do to resolve his problems only leads to a detailed and in depth analysis of precisely why he can't do anything about his problems and a further whinge as to why won't some one else sort it out for him. Logic does not work........

I'm liking the sound of the duct tape. You could just keep it on the dashboard and wait for her to ask what it's for........ :)
