My sister was convinced that Ilfracombe was an island, as you could get a ferry there from Swansea.

When my wife was a child she was at a play area waiting for a go on the slide when two kids in front, a brother and sister, start pushing and shoving to get on first.

Angry Mum shouts across the play area at boy not to push past her.

My now wife reportedly returns to her parents looking concerned saying 'that little girl's name is pasta'.

She has never denied it and it's often repeated so it must be true.
love it clap

My girlfriend still doesn't understand that switching the heating on in the house won't have an instant effect and will take time to heat up.

She often gets me to put the heating on then goes and gets a blanket to wrap up in whilst shouting that I mustn't have put the heating on high enough as 2 minutes later she is still cold

I get similar from my wife when she gets in the car. "It's cold, can you turn the heater up?"

I've been telling her since the days when we were dating that the engine needs to have been running for a bit to get heat. rolleyesrolleyes













































It obviously hasn't sunk in yet, even though it's our 30th wedding anniversary next month!

Have you tried the female method of putting all the radiator thermostats on their highest position to give the heating something challenging so it gets a move on?

Although, with a woman in the house, they will all be on 'full' anyway.

Mine still thinks if you set the thermostat higher it will get warmer quicker. That applies to the car climate too wink Yep - blonde.

After telling a girl I once worked with that I was driving to Scotland on business the next day, she remarked that it wasn't possible to drive to Scotland.

She was working on the premise that Scotland "is another country, so it must be abroad, which means you can't drive there...."

I had to get Google Maps to prove it - bless!....

Ahem; if they start making those for real and flogging them for £20k the human race is doomed, unless they insert a 'nagging and irrational behaviour' subroutine to make them no less irritating to be with. hehe

Will use this phrase, if you don't mind?

I will of course give you full credit

How odd, I once worked with a young lady who insisted it was possible to drive all the way to Ireland (she was going to Dublin at the weekend) I asked her if she was flying or getting the ferry. No I am driving she said....

What followed in that conversation made me weep for the education of the young folk nowadays.
