We had five month old grandson round last weekend and he was asleep in his pushchair but the sun was streaming through the window straight in his face. Suggested to SWMBO that she use an umbrella to shade him. So she got a clear plastic one from the rack and positioned it and then told me it wasn't working
I guess it would have been too difficult to move the pushchair out of the direct sunlight?
We're moving house in a couple of weeks…asked the Mrs if I was ok to go out for a pint with a mate tonight. She said 'Yeah go for it. It will give me chance to catch up on my recorded programs on Sky before we move'.
Not quite sure she understands that the hard drive is in the sky box and that the programs will not disappear.
After me laughing she has now asked me 'so it's like a little computer in there?'.
Bless her.
Before the wee one came along she was head of the science department at a rather expensive boarding school.

Clearly the website should've known she meant 4 carrots...
I'm great at this, I'm terrible with numbers so when I read sizes and weights they don't mean much to me (number dyslexic). In the past I've ordered what i thought was a big tub of ice cream which was actually one of those little theatre sized things and a pie for other half and I to share that was actually a miniature pie of about one mouthful (in my defence it was very expensive!!!)
Now I study the weights very carefully.

I thought sky had some software in the box so that if you didn't maintain your subscription you would eventually lose access to programmes downloaded from Sky. So maybe she is right, or maybe I am too credulous.Bluebarge said:

Thankfully this happened when I was in the car, as she "wouldn't have bothered, would have left it by the side of the road because it was broken"

Get rid of her. Quickly! You know it makes sense.
Colleague ordering staff pizzas on the phone
"...and a half and half, half 5 veggie, half 5 veggie..."
"No, not a whole 5 veggie, half a 5 veggie and half a 5 veggie"
"No, you are not listening. I want a half and half, not a whole"
Chap on the phone finally gives in and reconfirms as half and half. When I went to collect them, the staff at the pizza place were still crying with laughter and chucked in some sides for entertaining them so much.

So if the car had broken down would she have left that at the side of the road?Spiffing said:

Yeah, best thing to do with something you don't want. Dump it for someone else to have to deal with. Classy lady.
