Never heard that one before, in fact most people over care say couldn't care less rather than could care less, I only hear "I could care less" on American shows.

I don't think it would be strange for Americans to turn a British saying into something more ironic or sarcastic, but in this case I definitely think it comes from sloppy speakers.

Every time I log onto the forum over the past couple of days this thread is always near the top & it always lists Janszoon as the last poster.

and yet I'm the one with a reputation for being a miserable irritable bastard.

No? Fair enough. I never believed the whole "Americans don't get irony" thing that does the rounds over here, but I didn't think you used it as much as we did. Most foreigners I meet complain about my sarcasm, but that's probably more down to me being a miserable individual...:wavey:
