Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
In the office at work this week we were talking about nuisance PPI phone calls and phone scams.
I mentioned that I'd had a phone call at home from the "Microsoft Internet Security Dept" telling me that I had a virus on my PC and they could talk me though fixing it. The guys kind of chuckled and rolled their eyes.
The woman I work next to then said "Hang on though, I'm sure Microsoft is an actual company, isn't it?"

My mother fell for this scam.
My mother had one call her and spent about 15 minutes on the phone to them with the bloke telling her to go through various menus that she couldn't find before she asked if the fact she was on a Mac would make a difference. She was a computer programmer in the 1960's and now retired has enough time on her hands to enjoy wasting cold callers time Steamer said:

My uncle did too.Worrying isnt it, for more than one reason.
She has been scammed by someone doing work in the garden too.
Annoyingly, she now gets lots of calls on the computer - they obviously have shared her number with their scumbag mates. Luckily there is nothing in her computer that is valuable so we can junk it if necessary.

Upon hearing about a certain member of the nobility who has been filmed snorting coke through a £5 note, Mrs. M's reaction was :
"Cheapskate".
It should have been at least a £20.
We saw the video of it this morning with The SUN water marks all over the video. She then says "How did he not know the sun was filming him, it says it all over the walls and table""Cheapskate".
It should have been at least a £20.
My son law in the States has his PPL and flies every weekend. When we visit him, he takes me up and let's me have a go, so now every time a light aircraft flies overhead, I think of him.
Last week we are sitting outside a cafe in Stonehaven, and there are a bunch of sea gulls circling making those screeching noises, when the sound of a light aircraft gets louder.
So I said to our son in law "When ever I hear that sound I think of you", the OH pipes up "What, sea gulls".........

We live somewhere hot, in fact in the middle of the longest heatwave in living memory, 38C is ordinary. She got herself new 'driving glasses' that came with a fancy clip thingy to store them, to stop them getting lost in the crap in the footwell.
She thought the ideal place for the clip was stuck to the windscreen behind the rear view mirror.
The daft mare now has little blisters either side of the bridge of her nose.

Close, but it's my daughter who is visiting from the states.
We have a curved glass shower door in the bathroom, and I always clean it with a squeegee. Holding blade in the vertical position and dragging it from left to right, and work down the door.
Daughter comes down from the bathroom.
Her " I will clean the shower door when it's dry"
Me "I do it with the squeegee"
Her, But the door isn't straight"
She tried to do it from top to bottom.............

When Sommersby was released we went to the cinema to see it, for those that don't know it the leads are Jodie foster and Richard Gere
The basic plot is her husband goes to war for a number of years then when this man knocks at her door she doesn't know if it's him or not
As we were leaving, I said well that was a load of crap , how would she not recognise her husband
My wife replied, I can believe it's true
Really
Yes, if you went to war and Richard Gere came back I wouldn't say anything either
Then recently my brother in law told me his doctor said every man over 50 should drink a glass of tomato juice a day to help ward off bowel cancer
I gave her this information and every week tomatoe juice appeared in the fridge
Then I spoke with my brother in law again , he'd been for a checkup and the doctor asked him how his sex life was
Er fine, why
Well it's thought that as we get older and stop using things it causes changes in the body chemistry which is bad, less sex means more testosterone .
Once again I eagerly imparted this information
Her reply, you'll be fine, just have a w##k while you're drinking your tomato juice
