Looking at a new car having sold my RS4 to fund a house move.

Put an X-Type Estate on the screen for her to pass comment on...

H: Eww no, looks like a hursT!
M: What?
H: Looks like a hursT! Bloody funeral car!
M: A what...
H: A hursT!?
M: Spell that for me?
H: 'H...U...R...S...T'!!?
M: Get out.

Just changed jobs and now sharing an office with 4 women of differing ages. So far we've had Hurst, Pacific, Delicatessant and Peddle Stool.

It'll be Obeast before long.

I'd guess your missus if from Lancashire, possibly around Chorley/Bolton/Wigan area. My gran used to call them that and a few people I know still do.

Just helped my beloved with a word game on her phone, then had to explain a "polka" isn't used for stoking the fire...

Found out on Friday that not one of them can say the word ibuprofen

I know a woman that calls it "broofen"

[227bhp]

She's bringing a takeaway home for dinner:

Me: Do you want a plate warming?
Her: No thanks

On her arrival with takeaways (you know where this is going don't you?)

Her: Did you warm me a plate?
Me: No
Sits and eats rapidly cooling curry from cold plate....

Brufen is a brand - commonly heard used by NHS staff

Why? Just boil a kettle, put plate in the sink and pour over the water. One minute later - warm plate. Why suffer?

I was in a shop once when someone came in and asked the assistant:

"Do you have any Ivor Brufen?"

And that was a man!

My mother used to call it that as well, though.

Watching a mission impossible scene last night, she comes out 'go Tom Hanks!'

Cheaper - microwave for a minute or two.

[Blown2CV]

i don't leave food long enough to get cold

Needs water to be effective. Plates aren't very responsive to microwaves. You could pour a little water on the plate first.
