Well you can definitely walk into our hot-press (airing cupboard).
I do try to adopt her terms so she feels more at home, but my referring to the fridge as the cold-press simply gains a withering look and rolled eyes. Girls eh?
Never heard of a fridge being referred to as a cold-press. Any clues as to how that name came about? I get the cold bit but not the press bit.I do try to adopt her terms so she feels more at home, but my referring to the fridge as the cold-press simply gains a withering look and rolled eyes.

My other half can quite matter-of-factly tell me she just needs to put on her socks before we can go and we'll still be in the house 45 minutes later. It's absolutely ridiculous. She's from a country where everything works in slow motion but even her compatriots get annoyed by it. Ten years of marriage in, I'm used to it though (mostly). Still gets me once in a while though

Stottie-ly ridiculous comment.
A roll, barm, bap etc is simply a handy format of bread to contain a filling.Stottie, however, was placed on earth by the gods, to give purpose to bacon.
There’s always the filming locations if you like movies.

Although, some locations like the mooring from Long Good Friday, or the tall building from Layer Cake have changed.

Arming oneself with a big wedge of stottie cake with plenty of butter and bacon or sausage in the middle, is the best way to experience the copious amounts of weather in County Durham.

You mean I missed out on free food!, also had the kiosk outside the arcade in Bowness at the same time, made a (small) fortune selling duck food to tourists!Watching a film last night... the usual faff.
It always takes us about 2 hours to watch the first 30 minutes.
A combination of googling the cast, telling me some story about some long distant relative or other whos husband has been doing the dirty, 3 toilet breaks, getting various blankets, bottle of wine, nail file and putting the fire on. Usually the ipad comes out and she starts scrolling FB at which point I know its game over and might as well just look up the plot on Wikipedia.
She gets bored and says "lets finish it tomorrow". That's code for we are never watching this again.
I am usually left sat in the lounge wondering exactly what just happened for the last 2+ hours.

Mine. Lets watch a film not just football this evening. OK, what do you want to watch.....dunno...you pick. So I pick a film, she's asleep after 20 mins.... I "taped" the football of course.............It always takes us about 2 hours to watch the first 30 minutes.

How many marriages have been saved by the ability to pause films and live TV? 50% of the population don't realise just how useful that little button is to the sanity of their partner.It always takes us about 2 hours to watch the first 30 minutes.
