Mine's just seen the Persona Synthetics Sally automaton advert and asked if they were selling them now...
I might have had to google that to show someone I know it's a TV show too...they were flogging.
I couldn't be bothered to use Google on it.
Luckily a PHer gave the answer.

Her and her dad spent ages this afternoon trying to figure out why it wouldn't ring.
Fixed by flicking the mute switch on the side.

One of the kids once received a bubble blowing set as a gift. The wands were different shapes - round, triangle, square.
OH exclaims: "ooh - you can blow different shaped bubbles"
Growing up in the 70's and 80's when a small bottle of liquid and a round "bubble" was all that was available, I have to say this was a slight surprise to me as well when I first saw them. OH exclaims: "ooh - you can blow different shaped bubbles"
After all, a sphere is the natural "bubble" ?

In fact, after borrowing mine for a few days while hers was broken concluded that it just doesn't get warm as quickly as hers and I wasn't somehow just being stingy with the heating so as not to drive in a sauna.
Lost, in an unfamiliar city centre, looking for an Indian restaurant in the grid of narrow one-way streets, she remembers that Google Maps gives walking GPS directions. After a minutes prodding, poking and beeping, her phone pipes up "In 40 metres turn left"
She swings round to show me the map on the screen, "we go down there".
The map on the screen spins round too:
"BONG! Turn Right!" says the phone, pointing down another parallel street.
Indignantly she spins round again, pointing at the original junction, "It said down there!"
"BONG! In 40 Metres turn Left"
"SEE I TOLD YOU!" swinging round again.
"BONG! TURN RIGHT"

I can't remember if I've mentioned this one before or not, but years ago I was having lunch in the canteen at work and a female colleague on another table looked up from her quiz book thing and asked "Martin, who was the first ever king of England, was it Henry The Eighth?".
My daughter asked if there had been a Henry V the other day.northwest monkey said:

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

I met Mrs B.J.W on Match back in 2013. After chatting for a bit we decided to meet up. For the first few dates I turned up/picked her up in my grubby old Silver Audi All-Road. Once things became a little more serious I booked a table for two at a nice little restaurant and picked her up for the first time in the Aston. I walked her to the passenger door and opened it for her - at which point she exclaimed in the welsh accent that I have come to love....
"I'm sure this car had 4 doors the last time you picked me up in it"
At that point I decided that she was a keeper.
Hahaha! "I'm sure this car had 4 doors the last time you picked me up in it"
At that point I decided that she was a keeper.
