RizzoTheRat said: Hardly a "classic" I know, but I'm wondering if they all have the voices in thier heads  Yes. Mine has given me a headache today doing just that. She actually makes my head hurt. Its not just the imagined converstions ,its when I the correct her and she then repeats what I have just said as if it was her who said it and I made up the conversation when it really starts getting complicated. My head is full of f  k right now. she is on top form today. I swear she does it on purpose but she aint that clever.

More important than cars/penis/food/football/projectile motion/astrophysics?

I always preface my tales on this thread by pointing out that Mrs Blib is an Oxford educated senior lawyer at a major City institution. Just to demontsrate that no woman is immune from these..err....foibles.
During a rambling conversation about nothing, I mentioned to Mrs Blib that as a kid I'd read a comic book story in which everyone in the World was beautiful, except for one unfortunate who was a misformed, ugly dwarf. As you can imagine, the dwarf was pretty upset about this as he was constantly mocked, derided and generally hounded by the other, beautiful people.
One day, a Spirit appeared to the dwarf and granted him one wish. He thought and then he declared that he would like to be the most handsome man in the World. The Spirit obliged and then asked if he would like anything else. The dwarf, realising that he could get his revenge over those that had taunted him, asked that everyone else in the World be turned into ugly, misshapen dwarves. Once again, the Spirit obliged.
Whereupon, the other people, seeing the ex-dwarf's beauty and being mighty angered by it, tears him limb from limb.
Mrs Blib: "That's never going to happen, is it? It's too far fetched".

I was talking to the OH the other day about BBC natural history programmes, as she has a few on her Amazon wish list. I see one in HMV and point out that it's only a tenner.
She replies "I'm not bothered about that one. It's 10 years old- I want one more up to date."
Now I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure that evolution hasn't progressed much since 2002...

Chatting with the OH last night about Yetis, ghoulies and stuff like that. Out of the blue she pipes up: 'The Loch Ness Monster, where is that? Is it Loch Lomond?' I tried to explain that the clue is in the name..

Someone's missus was in floods of tears whilst watching Walking With Dinosaurs. A poor baby dino with a broken leg was left for dead by it's parents. Why, she opined, didn't the camera crew help it...

I hope you told her to take the high road.
