T1 was like that. He also used to refer to our age difference (almost 30 years) and say things like "when you're my age you'll see things differently" and "when you get to my time of life you don't worry about those things any more" which had the air of superiority which I found infantilising. I have a similar age difference with current T and he's never ever mentioned it.
T1 also once said "I'm not being arrogant, but I go to supervision and think 'I know all this already"". (Current T could barely contain his frustration when I told him that).
T1 began a lot of statements with "I'm not being arrogant, but..."
So yeah, I think I'll have to add arrogance to the list too.
