Can someone explain the bit about the alarm and switching it off and OP saying he made a mistake about what he said? Maybe I'm too tired to follow this!
I can explain from memory... no links 'n stuff ok?
Nel asked a question (of sorts) along the lines of "in your veeeeersion, meester peeestorius... somebody must have switched off the alarm?" To which Oscar replied something like " I switched off the alarm before I went downstairs to open the door"
In the ensuing back and forth Nel brow-beat OP into saying he did not actually have a memory of doing that, but the remote is on his keyring, it is a "conditioned reflex"(my words) to pick up the keys and click the remote off. He knows he switched the alarm off because he always does that when exiting his bedroom AND because the alarm did not go off that night, so he he "must have"
Nel with his usual feined outrage accused OP of lying... saying he switched it off, but now saying something else.
I assume Nel is NOT an imbecile.. but some of his inability to understand makes you wonder.
While on the alarms, and Nel being thick. I have known all along that OP refered to alarm sensors being removed back in 2010 when house was painted. That is the reason WHY he suspected some MIGHT have been removed during the renovations around the time of the incident. I have always known there was an earlier paint job on the house and then another occasion of renovations. Nel is being thick when he says it was not mentioned before.
The point about the sensors that Nel can not get (and OP has not explained well) is that they can be taken off the wall, but still be functioning wherever they are stored, and so no "fault" will show preventing the system being activated. THAT is what OP was concerned about.
Generally its Nel's questions that give rise to confusion.
It may be a bit snarky, but next time Nel pouts and says "Meeeester Peeestorius, you are not LISTENING to the question" OP should reply "M'Lady, Mr Nel is not listening to my answers, and he is second guessing what silly face he can pull and pretend outrage he can claim"
