Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Me, again....
The aircon in my Fiat 500 has started to make a scraping noise. I did a little research and discovered a faulty bearing on them is quite common so booked it in under warranty (garage warranty not manufacturers). Decided changing the cabin filter wouldn't be a bad call as it's one less thing for them to blame (and charge me for). I pulled up a clip on YouTube showing where the filter was etc
I realised after HWMBO had been frustratedly crawling around the passenger footwell for 15 minutes cursing that he couldn't find it I'd watched an American how to video....

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!....
She'd probably used Google maps to get directions and it sent her on the ferry to Calais, drive to Norway and get the ferry back to Newcastle...She was working on the premise that Scotland "is another country, so it must be abroad, which means you can't drive there...."

I've just bought an MX5, early model, Manual roof
Took it round to show the girlfriend who jumped in and went 'oh is the roof automatic or manual'
'err manual, what do you mean automatic?'
'Well doesn't it go down automatically when the suns out?'
'No, only if you want it to go down and I think you mean electric where it does it by pressing a button'
'well yes but wouldn't it be cool if it was automatic when the sun was out??'
'sigh, yes dear'
Not sure why that would be a good idea in her eyes, no doubt she will think of good points today and I'll have to argue them tonight

Not sure how to answer without sounding patronising.
Even Heather Mills buys shoes as a pair surely?
Please, please, please:Not my missus, but probably someones...

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.
Not just the young ones, my mother, who was getting on a bit at the time was invited to a wedding in Canada, knowing she was advised not to fly due to medical conditions I asked if she was had looked at boats for the journey. She said after a bad experience on the Rosyth/Zeebruge ferry she would never go on a boat again. What followed in that conversation made me weep for the education of the young folk nowadays.
She was convinced she could get to Canada without flying or taking a boat, I suggested she go in winter and hope the Bering Sea was frozen over.
She never did get to Canada

I can't remember the film/book/show where one of the caracters parents met because their fathers, who'd both lost a leg in the war, once met in a shoe shop, realised they were the same size, and met up every so often to buy a pair of shoes between them Not my missus, but probably someones...

Wife - "We watched Escape from Alcatraz at weekend"
MIL - "whats that then ?"
Wife - "The Clint Eastwood film where he escapes from the prison"
MIL - "Oh right, Which prison was it ?"
Also watched a Mark Walberg war film based on a true story. The wife was very suprised and dissapointed at the end when he was the only guy left. The film was called Lone Survivor.
