You are allowed to do that too, it's not an 'either/or' situation.
Agree with the poster above, a gondola ride is a must do in Venice.
I can think of little worse (well, OK, I can think of lots of worse things, but a little hyberbole makes it sound better) than spending £80 for 20 minutes in an unstable boat while an italian man sings badly and you get papped by thousands of Japanese tourists.Agree with the poster above, a gondola ride is a must do in Venice.
Really peaceful and picturesque

It was a lovely trip on the Gondola, our hotel arranged for us to share the Gondola with another couple so we shared the cost, much happier paying 50E than 100.

100 Euros for a boat trip on a canal?!! You can buy a boat for less than that on the Grand Union!Really peaceful and picturesque
Mother dearest was pootling along and came across a car with hazards on approaching a roundabout. "Why is he signalling both left and right? Is he trying to tell me he's going straight?"
Melbourne Museum, Australia. Glass display with, from left to right, a picture of a seal, a placard with big print saying "Australian fur seal" and a model lobster. I point at the lobster and say "oh look, it's an Australian fur seal". She (not mother) says "oooohhh...", looks inquisitively at it for a few seconds before asking "how is that different from a lobster?".

They're not for "outside" though, are they? They're for getting from your X5 to the front door of the Dog and Duck without getting too cold. Utterly pointless garment beloved of the Boden/Hackett crowd.
Only on PH would you find hatred for Bodywarmers

My wife has a large selection of bodywarmers.
I must remember to tell her she's wrong.
They are not wrong, they probably do a great job of keeping your body warm, I just prefer to have warm arms as well.I must remember to tell her she's wrong.
I am anti bodywarmers because they look so naff

Mrs gets into my car and the music starts playing...
Mrs: "Is this Blue Oyster Cult?"
Me: "No it's New Order"
Mrs: "Yeah that's who I meant"

It's how their minds work. Read and learn.
I can add a further couple of humorous incidents from my daft-as-a-brush missus
Couple of weeks ago she buys herself a 'Prenatal Listener' and tells me all about how well reviewed it is
However, she can't get it to work at all and is in a right flap about it. So I take it off her and ask if she has fitted the battery (a 9v square type) to which she says she has. Thinking she may have somehow managed to misfit it, I take the battery out only to find it still completely wrapped in the plastic covering it was sent in 
This week, she's rushing out the door to take the little lad to nursery, running late as usual, then bursts back into the house telling me her car is broken as the steering lock wont disengage with the key in, she's quite correct, however when I remove the key to inspect it she's actually got my set of keys not hers!
I'll be asking Victor what odds I can get for her winding up with dementia!!

My OH is currently ill and not very mobile, so she needs me a bit to do things for her.
"Can you get <this>, please?"
"Okay"
"Can you put <this> <there>, please?"
"Okay"
"Sorry to be a pain, but can you do <that>, please?"
"Okay - is there anything else you need?"
"No - I'm not going to ask you any more questions now"
"Thanks"
So I sit down to watch some TV.
Two seconds later from her:
"Do you want some crisps?"
"Can you get <this>, please?"
"Okay"
"Can you put <this> <there>, please?"
"Okay"
"Sorry to be a pain, but can you do <that>, please?"
