Me discussing Tesla ,the battery range won't take us to our holiday house .
Her , can't we carry a few spares ..........
Now there's an idea. Tesla could make a carbon-fibre trailer, stuff it with laptop batteries, stick on an ipad so you can talk to it using your phone and give it a fancy name like Ambulatory Power Bank. A snip at £20k. The early adopters would lap it up.Her , can't we carry a few spares ..........
My GF has a few fish and unfortunately one of the new ones, Daniel Ricciardo the fish, didn't make it past 2 weeks as he has a swim bladder infection.
As I'm not massively interested in fish I asked the simple question what a swim bladder infection was, expecting a somewhat more detailed answer and some newfound pointless knowledge. Her response, fish have a swim bladder, his is infected.
I'm literally none the wiser but at least more amused

It's a bladder for swimming innit! As I'm not massively interested in fish I asked the simple question what a swim bladder infection was, expecting a somewhat more detailed answer and some newfound pointless knowledge. Her response, fish have a swim bladder, his is infected.

Device for controlling fishy density/buoyancy, although exactly how I'm unclear on. hidetheelephants said:

It's the fishy equivalent of the buoyancy tanks in a submarine. Depending on the fish, it is filled by gulping air at the water's surface. Some of our finny friends can release lactic acid internally, producing carbon dioxide to alter their buoyancy. Device for controlling fishy density/buoyancy, although exactly how I'm unclear on. Cartilaginous fish (e.g. sharks and rays) do not have swim bladders, some types can only control their depth dynamically, by swimming.
Swim bladder disease commonly afflicts aquarium fish.
Now you know.

Text message exchange with the wife:
Her: "You to you 're Norway. Call later?"
Me: "In English?
"
Her: "This new software is a nightmare"
Now I understand the last one, her phone had a software update the other day and she's complained about it a fair bit, but I'm still none the wiser as to what she was asking about Norway

Me: Christ, that's a big question, what made you ask? Need some time to think about it.
Her: Sorry, not life, lidl.

One I've caught the other half doing a few times at the self service tills. Machine asks if using your own bags, she puts them in the bagging area then puts her handbag there.
I queried her on it and her reply was it's a bag so it should go on there. Despite my explanation, and the number of waits for the staff to come over and tell her to remove it, she still continues to do it.
I think she might just be taking the piss now..

Chatting to the Mrs about a holiday she went on to Kenya many years ago.
She went snorkeling in the sea, but the views were not too good, as the water was not very clear. Apparently a few miles down the coast was a river that emptied into the sea. It's ok though, it was cleanish water with no affluence.

Some people just don't understand how these work. I was behind a woman with her child at one of these recently, her child kept leaning on bagging area and trying to climb on it so it was confusing the machine.I queried her on it and her reply was it's a bag so it should go on there. Despite my explanation, and the number of waits for the staff to come over and tell her to remove it, she still continues to do it.

Her "Sorry I never have much luck with these!"
Me "It's because your daughter keeps leaning on it"
She ignored me and carried on, after 3 more flashy warnings and a staff member resetting it again.
Her "I think this one might be faulty"
Me "No, it's working perfectly"
She gave me a confused look because, in her head, it clearly wasn't.
Me, being slightly helpful yet slightly patronising "It's basically a set of scales so it weighs your shopping after you scan it, your daughter hasn't been scanned"
Her "But she doesn't weigh very much?!"
I stopped talking to her and mumbled something under my breath about stupid people having children.
Not that classic, just a "huh?" moment:
Watching something on TV, the name Beattie Edmondson was in the end titles.
"Beattie, that's an unusual name."
"I think it's Beatrice. She's the daughter of a certain comedian."
"Oh, Rik Mayall's daughter!"
Also, I've just read back a page. If you don't know who Don Johnson is, you're part of the problem

I posted something similar on the "In the Doghouse" thread a few years ago, but the same scenario has just happened again.
I was just going out and Mrs CanAm has problem recording on Sky. She is recording "Kate Plus 8" and deletes my recording of Peter Kay so she can record "Little Women of somewhere or other"
Asks I, "Can you not watch that live instead?"
Mrs C "No, I'm watching the London Underground"
Me, "Can't you watch that on Catchup?"
Mrs C " You're SO bloody selfish!"
Edited to add Peter Kay is repeated tomorrow
