Not the mansplaining as such but part of the convo. I made the mistake of saying to the 'zzette recently after trying to explain something for the umpteenth fooking time "I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you". That went down well.
No buzz, but I can understand why you got confused there.
You see there’s an island in the Irish Sea known historically as Mann, but more usually now as the ‘Isle of Man’. Fascinating history - I can tell you more about it if you like.
how it works? Why does she need to know that? You don't have to understand how the combustion engine works to enjoy a drive down the road.
I sat next to someone at a dinner and had just flown to France and back in a 4 seater Piper Archer from a South Coast airport and was quite excited about it as the fog had come in when we were airborne and I had to do most of the return leg on instruments only, including all but the last few metres before landing. She asked a lot of questions and could tell I was really energized by the experience. She asked how the landing had been and I said pretty exciting as you don't get much visibility of Lydd aerodrome in the fog as it's pretty much at sea level on Romney Marsh so if there's fog over the channel then it will be over the marsh too... She said "I know. I'm a commercial airline pilot".

I once had to take a ‘fette very slowly and clearly through the history and in particular ownership of a Crown dependency in the Irish Sea.

I took an Australian client and his wife to the St. Patrick's Ball in Hong Kong.
I was standing next to her during a demonstration by some schoolchildren of Irish dancing and she was tapping her foot.
'It's Irish dancing', I said. 'I know' says she 'I used to be the All-Ireland champion!'. Whoops!
She found the time in the next three years despite being a very successful fund manager to take over teaching the children once a week.

That was ten years ago and I still cringe.

Once explained to a woman at a dinner where she could get cheap bottles of wine at Oddbins
I was told later that she owned a South African diamond mine
She was very kind, and did not let on and laughed at my jokes

Those fancy-pants heavy white napkins are there for a reason, Mutts. Top tip - don't tuck them under your chin during the meal next time... ;)

I couldn’t reach the napkin as it had tumbled away from me as the whole table tilted up and over
