Mate of mine got married again a few years ago. Having lived a bachelors life for a good few years, his kitchen hadn't been top of his list of priorities.
Following the honeymoon and a few months of necessary nagging from the love of his life, the kitchen fitters were eventually summonned, and he was duly seperated from a huge wad of his hard earned.
I went to visit him a few weeks later. Enjoying coffee with him and his wife in the now resplendent surroundings, I asked him if the cusine on offer had improved in direct proportion to the ammount of money he'd spent on the kitchen.
"Too right mate." He replied.
"I've got a her a gas cooker. She can fakking burn things a lot quicker now!"
"Gosh!" I thought a microsecond later
That woman certainly knows how to slap!

Better than calling Scotland a "region" as the BBC did for years. "And here's the weather in all the other regions ..."

A few years ago I'm touring Europe and find myself in Paris for a few days staying at a cracking hostel in the Latin Quarter.
Sitting round a table sharing some nice Bordeaux with a guy from Corsica and two Texans; and I mean TEXANS!
The one called Dennis Quaid, (yeah really!!) says, "so Jim, you're from Scotland; that's in London right?"
The resultant choking spray of red wine was to me as much a waste as it was a dreadful embarrassment!
