Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
This is from the MIL, last yr.
We'd booked a holiday cottage for a few days, MIL and her pet dog were accompanying us. Space in car was tight so I did a 'pre pack' of the boot, and delivered a decent size but suitable wheeled case to her. The morning of the trip I went over to collect her, bag was remarkably light, congrats elderly relative on economical packing.
Popped it in the boot............ only to be followed by a dozen carrier bags full of stuff!

Will you tell us why?
You'll have to watch it.........it's the episode with Donald Pleasence where he was the owner of a vineyard.I was looking at the Covid infections in the local rag where it gives the number per 100k (in effect a percentage). Anyway, there's a local village that, for some reason or other, is a hotspot (more than double anywhere else local). I said to my wife, "how weird that that village has 600 per 100,000 (0.6%) compared to everywhere else. You guessed it: she said it can't be true because there aren't 100,000 people in that village!
Driving to our dog walking parking spot, I put the touchscreen display on so it shows the economy graph which looks a bit like this after a long motorway journey home - then lots of short trips.

"That's because you've been sat on the sofa"
"uh?"
"Your fitbit thing never lies, you've just been sat watching TV"
So apparently my fitbit can upload the number of steps I take in to the car system now. And display it in MPG.
I'm off for a lie down.
(again)
eta - this is what the graph should have looked like before PH.com decided to add it's own special formatting

OK, Ok, I'll say it... But presumably there has to be a downside to that ?

Sat last night reading, and Mrs.T66 asks what the Cyrillic alphabet is. We got onto the subject of scripts, and the origins of the Roman/Cyrillic alphabets.
She pondered for a moment.
"What was the big land mass called when all the countries were stuck together?"
"Pangaea," I replied.
"That's probably why there's more people in Asia then, as that's where everyone was before it broke up."
She pondered for a moment.

It's all about timing. She pondered for a moment.

Watching the Dolly Parton documentary that was on a few nights ago, wifey was gushing about how much she loved her, the size of her boobs were also noted.
After 15 minutes she remarks
Such a shame that she died.
Eh? She's not dead is she?
Yeah, that's why she left Eastenders because she was ill
What? .... Are you thinking of Barbara Windsor?
Yes - that's her on TV
That's not cockney landlady Barbara Windsor, its probably the most famous country singer in the world, Dolly Parton
Oh, I wondered why she was talking differently
Give me strength!
