Sat on an easyjet plane on the Tarmac of Bristol airport heading to Belfast for the weekend, been planned for weeks, research done into stuff to do in Ireland etc.
Packed plane, full of Irish, and the wife loudly asks
"Do we go over any water"
Related story, and probably one I mentioned in Vol I. We were off on hols and as the plane climbed above the clouds she says, "Oh nice, the sun's come out" ! Packed plane, full of Irish, and the wife loudly asks
"Do we go over any water"
A three day spouse induced fekkup.
"Can you make me a website? It's easy with this super duper app, but my friend say's the newest version doesn't work right, you have to use V 1.3"
So I download V 1.3, ignoring V 1.5.7, and run "setup"
Not a damn thing works, so I embark on an odyssey of Googling, editing scripts, FTP'ing til my eyeballs bled, to no avail.
Eventually I discover that V 1.3 is eight years old, and hasn't worked for anyone since Windows Vista.
"Ask your friend what her operating system is"
"Windows 10" was the reply. "Oh, by the way it's V 1.5.5 she's using, does that matter?"
Following a brief, forthright expression of frustration, V 1.5.7 was installed and running perfectly within an hour.
I suppose the bright side is I'm now an expert on Zen-Cart V 1.3.

Me and the kids looked up, they just started laughting at her, one was a light aircraft at a few thousand feet, the other was a passenger jet a fair bit higher than it. It was the classic Father Ted cow sketch.

I do that with Belvedere and Grey Goose, I'll sometimes mix Smirnoff with tonic, I rarely if ever drink a beer, unless the temperature outside is over 30c. and the bottle is ice frosted.
I drove to Poland in 1974 with my then girlfriend, Jadwiga, born in London, but with Polish parents.
We were visiting one of her aunts, in Poznan, and at breakfast there was always a bottle or two of vodka in the centre of the table, and everyone had a shot glass by their side plates, we'd eat slices of ham, and cheese, hard boiled eggs, with fresh rolls and bread, and drink beautiful coffee, but always finish off with a vodka shot, presumably a Polish tradition I guessed.
One morning, I picked up a bottle, poured a shot, murmured "Na Zdrowie", (a toast, literally Bless You), and slung it back, just about registering the raised eyebrows and looks of horror as I tilted my head back.
It was tantamount to swallowing a liquid hand grenade.
As I gasped for breath, with tears forming in my eyes, and what felt like lava trickling down my throat, I could hear anguished voices, all speaking excitedly in Polish, unintelligible to me.
Jadwiga told me then that I'd just swallowed Spiritus Rektyfikowany, 95 proof rye spirit, only to be used as a base, and ALWAYS only to be drunk with water, or mixed with something, NEVER to be drunk neat.
I'm probably remembered as either the hero, or more likely the clown Angielski after that by her Polish family.
I was taken to meet my friends parents who are Russian at their place in the country. On arrival I was given big bear hug and a large glass of homemade triple distilled hooch. Which I was told was good for the appetite, there followed many courses of food and many toasts. I got gloriously drunk and had to be carried to bed despite wanting to sleep in the garden, my wife was mortified at my drunkeness, until we met our host in the morning. I uttered my humble apologies, he hugged me again gave me another shot and said he was the talk of the village, being carried to bed is a good sign that your host is a very good one.I drove to Poland in 1974 with my then girlfriend, Jadwiga, born in London, but with Polish parents.

I went to my mates wedding the next year and it was carnage, I woke up in the garden with most of the guests sleeping all over the garden.
MrsVX is trying the treatbox approach with our dog, small Tupperware box of doggy treats, give it a rattle when you want the dog to come in, dog recognizes the sound and comes in for a treat...
...except dog can't hear her rattling the box, as she has packed it so full it won't rattle! So she's taken to banging the box on the conservatory window!?!?!?
I must've missed a sign

As is usual for the month of August, there's nothing good on the telly, so the missus and I were watching "Car Crash Britain". Yes, yes, I know.
I made the comment that most of the crashes shown were caused by people in Peugeots (mainly 206s and 307s). As the programme went on, we saw more and more small Peugeots at the heart of the chaos, much to my amusement.
As the credits rolled, my wife turned to me and said "I'm never buying a Peugeot. Those cars are dangerous!"
I would have pissed myself laughing, but I was too busy shaking my head and doing a passable goldfish impersonation.
