Watching It was alright in the 90's. Subject of music came up and the song Ebeneezer Goode was mentioned.

I commented it was quite funny how we all thought it was great at the time because of all the drug references.
Her "What drug references?"
After a repeated chorus of E's are good and a bit of rhyming slang she twigged and then I asked what she'd thought it was all about.
"Well, you know, that guy Ebeneezer Goode".
What guy?
"I don't know"

I learned something today I didn't know that either, must have been my sheltered upbringing.

He's called Rudi (the Puma guy).

Both set up rival sportswear firms in a small place called Herzogenaurach. (Rudi and Adolf rather than Bobby who was more into the spectacular)

There's a definite resistance to pronouncing Nike correctly, i.e. Nikey. Most folk here tend to pronounce it like bike.

Or Adeedas, rather than Adidas.

Bobby runs the largest supplier of drag queen outfits in the known world.

She said to me "You woke me up last night"

I said "When"

She said "About 6.30 this morning".

In Ikea looking at Christmas lights

She says, they look good

me, yeah but there's 2 sets and the display is only 2m wide so we'd need 4-5 sets to make it look like that

we wouldn't , it says a kilometer

what

a kilometer of lights

er, you know a kilometer is 1000 metres

why does it say kilometer then

Mrs 2CV's pregnancy-enhanced classics continue...

i headed downstairs and picked up the full washing basket on the way. From inside the bathroom, where she cannot see anything i've done or not done, she shouts "christ you could have taken the washing basket downstairs!". Obviously I set her straight... turns out she assumed i hadn't taken it because she thought it would have been difficult for me to do so, being as i was carrying other things. So I got a telling off for not doing something that i was in fact already doing, because she figured there was no way i could have done it in the first place. Mental!

"You're being helpful on purpose! Just to annoy me!!!"

she did laugh about it later, but yes!

Few years ago went to look at a car for sale in a little town near Northampton. Guy was not in when I arrived so I took a walk down the town past a quite famous "bovver" boot factory came back 30 mins later and saw the car, agreed a deal to come collect next weekend.
Took missus for a lift only, we are getting papers together etc, and bloke;s missus comes out speaks to my missus. My missus says what a nice place it seems, (to be fair she's never been and we weren't local), says how nice it is set on the hill. I say, yep and of course quite famous for having "Doc Martins" down the hill there.. My missus says "oh, do they film that, here..!?"

She reckons as she said it she thought "WTF" but it was too late...

[Evangelion]

Dr Martens and Doc Martin aren't even spelled the same!

So had I correctly spelled it out phonetically, she should have sussed and not made the mistake? I knew it would be my fault.

Me and the dearly beloved buy each other chocolates to go into an advent calendar each year. Hers is a wooden Santa Claus which I bought for her many years back, and mine is one she sewed herself from scraps of material. It's very lovely and anyone who plans to judge me for still having an advent calendar at the age of 30 can swivel.

Anyway. Working from home today and wander up to the bedroom to find a jumper. "Hmmm, what a lovely smell of chocolate," think I. No, WAIT. Why is there a lovely smell of chocolate?!

My advent calendar has been placed lovingly in the full glare of the morning sunshine. It is now a sort of advent sauce.

I sent a text to the dearly beloved at work - "What happens when you put chocolate in direct sunlight, you clown?!" Her answer - "Oh, but I thought the breeze would keep it cool!" You know - the breeze, from the locked window.

I'm sure this will turn out to have been my fault once she gets home.

Of course.

If a man is on his own in a forest and there is no one there to hear him... is it still his fault?
