Why are people so hostile and incredibly strict regarding thread titles. If someone has something to say linked with another post, let it happen.

Chatting after a recent flight to Portugal, where we were sitting close to the front near the cabin staff/stewards. As per usual, the OH had been "lugging in" to what they were chatting about in the brief moments they seemed to have when not running up and down the aisle.

OH: "Did you hear what he was saying about XX?"

Me: "Who was saying?"

OH: "The air waiter"

This was said without any malice or piss taking - she just couldn't think of the normal occupation/job title so made one up.

I'm not sure, that I'm not going to use that definition in future.
It's brilliant.

If you are on a European built plane, is the Pilot actually an (Air) Bus Driver.....?

Obviously if they are piloting a Boeing 737m

There is a bit in The IT Crowd, where Matt Berry's character summons a stewardess by bellowing "Sky Waitress!"

Wife: This stuffing is a bit bland.
Sister in Law: It is. Not enough sage
Wife: That's tesco own brand for you. Should have bought paxo. I've got three boxes.
Me; Next time you make it get some extra sage from the front garden
Wife: There's no sage in the front garden.
Me: There's been sage in the front garden since the kids were little and I planted a load of herbs there with them.
Wife: There's never been sage in the front garden. Don't be picking leaves off any plants in the front garden, because you'll poison us all.
Me: I planted sage 20 years ago. But the other herbs died in the first winter.
Wife: it's not sage
Me: it definately is sage..
Wife: Do you really want to contradict me in front of my sister?
Me: So it's not sage?
Wife: no
Me: So what did I plant with the kids 20 years ago
Wife: We've never had sage.
Me: I always use it at Christmas inside the turkey.
Wife: Well you could have killed us all.
Me: But it's not sage? How is that possible?
Wife: If you ever planted sage, it died and another plant took its place.
Me; Right, I'm so glad you let me know. (Thinking...who are you? You look like my wife, but she must have died and been replaced by a gaslighting mentalist)

You suggested getting some sage from the garden, why not just do it.

There was a very quick way to finish that argument.

[Antony Moxey]

Yep. Go to garden, pick sage, confront wife: wtf is this then??? Case closed.

Getting sage from your wifes front garden.
Has to be a euphonism.

Sage advice.

Wouldn't normally post an incident here for fear of embarrassing her but yesterday I was apparently dancing to some Scottish Country music.
Dancing - I jumped when she came around a corner into the kitchen.
Scottish Country music - Miles Davis......

That is sage advice.

OH DO NOT get me started. My car stays on 18⁰ and auto, I get in mothers Puma and thats on Hi and full, this is the reason she also gives. In summer it'll be down to Lo, again on full.

Although not now with the oven. The smart meter fixed that.

They do. My MiL (PhD in Physics), Mrs Magnum (Dr - medicine). Both turn the climate control to max then spend ages trying to get the temperature right. Both start electric ovens on max. Because this warms up the car and oven faster than just setting the temperature you want and letting the thermostat sort it out. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Surely the oven wouldn’t take any more power to get to temp unless she over heats and waits for it to cool down?

Watching Gladiators this evening:
her in doors “what’s his name?”
Me: “which one?”
Her in doors: “the bionic one?”
