Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
A few weeks back we went to a soul music weekend at Butlins (living the dream). Fast forward to last night and we're sat watching goggle box, they're showing clips from the voice, one of which was Tom jones singing.
Her: playing with phone "he could have been on at the soul weekend"
Me: "I know what you mean, he's got quite a soulful voice but he's not a black American"
Her: "isn't he?"
Me: "err no (rolling my eyes) he's a white Welshman."
Her: "but he looks black"
Me: "he is probably THE most famously white Welsh person of all time"
Her: looks at up from phone "Oh yeah"
What the juddering f
k???

What the juddering f
k???As an aside, Tom Jones would certainly be in my top ten list of best British blues/soul singers, and like some of the others perhaps not one to spring to mind immediately with many people. Others include Dusty Springfield, Lonnie Donegan, Chris Farlowe - as well as the more obvious Joe Cocker and Rod Stewart.
However, back to the topic. I assume there must be many posts on here about the perennial 'which way round does the toilet roll go' debate. It seems my wife is like the rest of her gender in just not getting the logic of this one, and will hang the roll up with the loose end against the wall. The last time we had 'words' about it, she simply responded with 'well if it bothers you that much just pull the end of the paper over the top'.

What the juddering f
k???"Soul has been a major influence on British popular music since the 1960s including bands of the British Invasion, most significantly The Beatles.[52] There were a handful of significant British Blue-eyed soul acts, including Dusty Springfield and Tom Jones."

Oh God mine too. She's paranoid about it.However, back to the topic. I assume there must be many posts on here about the perennial 'which way round does the toilet roll go' debate.

An very odd conversation with my mum last night:
Mum: I'm not good
AZ: Why?
Mum: A friend's dad has committed suicide.
AZ: That's sad. Had you met him often?
Mum: Yes. I met him once.
AZ: (!!)
Mum: He shot himself when he was in America. She has had to go and get his body. BA put him in a seat to fly him back.
AZ: Er, I don't think so.
Mum: That's what she said. They sat him in a seat. I have to take it at face value.
AZ: Er, no you don't. Unless he died on the flight, they would put him in the hold. How would you like to sit next to a corpse?
Mum: I wouldn't like it. But that is what she told me so it must have happened.
She had also had a dream about her brother being dead. She proceeded to say how much she hated him - really, really loathed him and what he'd done (he is a weapons-grade st and I wouldn't piss on his head if it was on fire). She then started to tell me that she was now upset that he was dead (which he almost certainly isn't).
I think the first one might be a dream too.
Women and dreams are weird.

"Stop snoring!"
FFS, I'm not even asleep yet!
You know what, I get exactly the same thing. I'm lying there, thinking I'm trying to get to sleep, but she thinks I'm snoring. It's been going on for years. I can't imagine any reason why she'd do this for 20 years without it being real, so I have to conclude that there is some kind of state I can be in, in which my mind thinks it's awake but the body's asleep and the mind doesn't know the body is snoring. Or something.FFS, I'm not even asleep yet!
Apparently I also snore with my mouth fully closed - it's a condition discussed on the Health Matters forum
no wait

Last week the mrs came out with , " you have some moles on your back , you need to keep an eye on them" . Err ok how am i supposed to do that i haven't got eyes in the back of my head .
metaphorically speaking?Its like your doctor saying keep an eye on your blood pressure. You can't actually measure pressure by looking at it, so you use a blood pressure monitor.
