She'd get on well with my OH then. They could watch that film, then listen to a bit of The Clash. Whilst listening, they might then discuss the song "I fought the law" and wonder why they were singing a song where they "Uphold the law in a law world".

Years ago i was setting up her first ever online bank account, told her i needed a password from her and it had to be a minimum of 8 characters long. She thought it through for a good 2-3 minutes, as myself and my stepson just looked at each other awaiting her response...
"I've got it," she said, "Snoopy, Scooby Doo, Cinderella, Goofy..." by which point me and my boy were on the floor crying with laughter.

In her world, yep smile

I love her to bits, but she really knows how to uphold certain parts of the Essex girl stereotype.

She once told me about that well known film, 'Mutiny on the balcony."
We once asked a girl who regularly brought our firms deliveries from Cromwell Tools if she knew anything about films.

She asked why and one of us said to her "In that film Mutiny on the Bounty, what was the ship called"

Her answer was "How the hell do I know"

To be fair, it's one of those that needs thinking about... She probably heard "In "Film Name", what's the ship called?". If she gets it she needs to think about mutinies, then where they happen, etc.

On a quiz show it would make sense, as passing conversation I don't think I'd think this hard about it myself!

She should have just gone with Snow White and the 7 Dwarves.

The usual internet version of this joke refers to 8 characters and one capital.

"Oh I found out, she's his daughter in law"
"Eh?"
"Rachael"
"Who?"
"From the company"



Luckily after 16 years together I can understand enough of her thought processes to determine from this limited information that she was talking about a Christmas card that we weren't too sure who it from, despite neither of us having mentioned it for at least 2 weeks biggrin

I had one the other day out of the blue: "they went to Bulgaria", me: "who?"

Turns out she was on about someone from work who went skiing that we spoke about over a week previously.

Two yesterday. In the morning, I'm waiting with the children for her to show up so we can get to work/school (all go in the same car). Swans downstairs 10 minutes late (good job I build in an allowance for this in my morning planning every day, which she is unaware of). I make a comment about the tardiness and the answer is "Well, you could have waited in the car" (which is in the integral garage, no ice to clear, jump in and go state). ??? How's that going to make our departure any quicker?

Then, when I pick her up from the railway station in the evening, she always texts me when the train's pulling in and I hoon down to the pick up area to collect her (bored children on board complaining like only bored children can do). She always stands in the same place outside the station. Yesterday, I get there and there's no sign of her, which often happens as it takes a bit of time to get out of the train, up and down escalators and all that. So I wait. 10 minutes later I text her to see what's the hold up. Oh she replies, I'm waiting inside as it's cold outside. Thought you'd text me when you got here. Which I never do, as there's never any need. Sigh. How was I supposed to read the mind? Gah.
