Mrs: My brakes are grinding and sometimes they squeek!
Me: Do they do it all the time?
Mrs: Not all the time, no.

I think the pads must be worn or a stone has got lodged or something. I take it for a test drive, check the discs and pads, everything looks, feels and sounds fine but I take them apart to clean and re-copperslip anyway. Mrs takes the car and it's all great - thanks very much.

A few weeks later;
Mrs: I had this dhead lorry driver pull out on me on my way home! I had to really slam the brakes on to avoid hitting him! Oh yeah and my brakes are grinding again!!
Me: Does it only happen when you brake hard?
Mrs: Yeah especially if it's raining.
Me: That'll be the ABS then!! rolleyes
Strueth how much heavy braking does she do?

Sons girlfriend on a long car journey. We are playing 20 questions.

It's her turn and she states that the thing to guess is "vegetable"

20 questions later we just can't guess so she tells us what it was.

The answer....... An eel !

She also believes that birds are not animals!

This girl is doing her degree at Oxford uni!

Another positive classic:

OH was recalling an incident where a Coxster driver was living up to his name at the local filling station...

She finished describing his cockish misdeeds with "and when he finally got to the pump he didn't even fill up with Super unleaded!"

I love the fact she noticed!

Deeply engrossed, watching Brian Cox asking profound questions about what happened before time began and was there ever a day when there was no yesterday.

She pipes up, "Can you watch that later, Emmerdale is coming on".

Sigh................
sounds like my house - "do we have to watch this rubbish" whenever there is anything remotely factual on.
Yep, gf is like that. Was watching quite an interesting program about the Falklands when Mrs JP pipes up.

"Corries about to come on and whatshisface is gonna get sentenced"
In my house:

Mrs - "Can we watch Hollyoaks?"

Me - "Sorry we don't have that channel"

Get out from under the thumb guys! biggrin

when i own a workhorse car, i rarely wash it for those reasons. When I have a car I give a st about, I wash it regularly for those reasons. That's the "why" surely? It's a bit like saying why iron your shirts because they'll just get crumpled again.

As long as you keep the lights, mirrors and windows clean, no worries, nothing worse when you see those with rear lights covered in mud.

Golden rule we were told, see and be seen.

In that case why clean anything? Ask her that next time she gets the hoover out.

I'm usually already watching it from the PVR, I'm only home 1.5 days a week. Don't watch TV any other time.

I filled up daughter No. 1's car with petrol at the weekend.

'There you go, it's full of petrol now.'
'Thanks Dad.'
'And your clock is now on the correct time.'
'What clock?'

I sincerely hope that it's from Oxford Brooks and not THE Oxford University. I can not believe someone that dense is accepted to one of the best universities in the world.
