    I’m still wondering if he gave an address when he expected something through the post.


    No it was a paypal payment I made directly to the girl - she was then to "send" the folder. I assumed that after payment I would be asked for an address - that is where I fell down. If she had said I will send you the email I would have clocked it before payment. Other people were fooled too. Some of the people on the group haven't got a pot to &*^% in and no way of viewing the twaddle on anything but a phone.

    He definitely did not see or hear any eyebrow movement as he was walking back to the fridge when the eyebrows went up.

    However I’m sure he picked up on my fixed expressed as I turned to leave and he was coming back to pay for his water. He probably also picked on the SA inwardly tutting :rotfl: as he paid for his water:rotfl:

    People that pick up body language (that is, the vast majority of people), I think, pick it up, subconsciously, even if the person giving it out is behind him. He did therefore (assuming he's not autistic) "see" and "hear" the eyebrow movement in that way. I was using the words "see" and "hear" in this technical sense - I wasn't referring to seeing by using the eyes and hearing by the ears. You "see" someone's body language. I think it's most likely also "seen", even if subconsciously rather than fully aware of it, even when you are not looking towards each other or he isn't looking towards you. Not to matter - doesn't matter which way I am looking (or staring:eek: - and trying not to do so, only staring when you aren't looking towards me and noticing it), I still wouldn't see it:rotfl:.

    I would have heard tutting - however, as you say it was "inward" tutting, I think that wasn't expressed audibly and therefore, if it was inward and just through body language, again I wouldn't have noticed it at all.

    I think we are saying the same thing as each other and are in fact in agreement with one another. I'm using, and was using, "see" and "hear" in this technical sense and you've replied "He definitely didn't see or hear any... movement..." and I agree with you on that as well, because you are, I think, using "see" and "hear" in their general sense in that context there. So we are both correct:rotfl:. (Except that I'm doubly correct:o, and maybe you are too, as I agree with your correct view as well, when using "see" and "hear" in the way you are doing.)

    It depends on what the meaning of the words "see" and "hear" is:rotfl::o:rotfl::rotfl:.

    My technical use: "see" means "perceived (whether consciously or merely only subconsciously)".
    Your use: "see" is "see with the eyes".

    I have probably missed the point again, as my way of interpreting things is to look at the individual words and I've picked out the use of the word "inward" by yourself whereas most people generally are not precise over their words like that - or maybe you were being precise?:think: Anyway...:rotfl:

    Good evening!:D

    I presume it was a friends and family payment?

    Can you be doubly correct Savvy?

    Or are you just correct or incorrect?
