I suggested to my wife about getting a cleaner in on a weekly basis.

Her response?

"Were not clean enough to have a cleaner"


10/10

this could be interpreted as woman logic, but having investigated this previously (and starting to agree a bit) there is a difference between tidy and clean. If the house is untidy then the cleaners can't clean properly... i don't pay a cleaner to pick my gruds up and fold them, or to wash up... i pay them to clean!

To be fair she's completely correct! Just sounded funny at the time.

MrsVX is watching "The Real Full Monte", and pipes up "that Frankie Dettori doesn't look well..."

I looked , cracked up and explained "that's Wayne Sleep!"

Have a plaque similar to this on our house has been there for years, have tried explains it to the missus but to no avail she has no idea why it's funny even resulting in her putting it on fb and questioning her mates with a 90% return of them not understanding either.

She's just admitted that delivery drivers and postmen regularly comment that it's funny and she blindly plays along even tho she still doesn't understand.

Got to ask, where did you get it? That would fit in here perfectly!

I'd like one that claims that the creator of blue plaques lived here...

Rookie error, I was looking for ready made ones. 😂

Sarah; 'I'm doing a colours wash, grab anything you want chucking in'

Me, grabs stuff, puts in the basket by the washer. Her, grabs jeans (3 year old Diesels, blue, certainly not new colour) 'they're certainly not a colour!' Me; 'what's blue if it's not a colour?!' Her; 'it's a dark!' Me; 'what the actual juddering fk! Let me know when you're doing the medium blues wash and I'll put them in.....'

Watching the Foos at Glasto.

Me "he's done alright for a drummer"
Her "what band was he in before?"
Me "Nirvana"
Her "oh yeah, the one with the baby on the cover"
Me "yup"
Her "why did he leave, did they split up?"
Me.......

Not sure how that's a classic from the Mrs?

I have no idea what happened to Nirvana. I've heard of them, but that's about it.

Lead singer Kurt Cobain shot himself in 1994, apparent suicide but the conspiracy theories run amok. It's quite well known but naturally, 23 years later there will be people who weren't even alive when it happened, so to them it's no big deal.

Oh I was alive. Just not in my sphere of interest and I suspect not in that of many others hence not understanding why its a classic from the Mrs.

Nevermind that, I just chuck everything in together! Any new clothes likely to stain others go in with a load of towels for the first wash, after that it's free-for-all on a 30 degree wash. No issues.

I bought her a new phone a year ago
She declined a case because "theyre too bulky"

Crack spotted on phone screen within a month
Another one soon after across whole screen with marks on edge suggesting impact

Over the year slowly deteriorates until last week when top left 15-20% of screen just falls off
Phone stops working immediately after
Multiple marks on case from dropping it

Shes just bought a new one of a different brand as that one was poorly made
No mention of user error and being a clumsy ******

Grr

Funny thing though, he looks almost exactly like that bloke that occasionally drums for Queens of the Stone Age

[Usget]

He looks nothing like Gene Trautmann?

Correct, he doesn't. Thats why I said *Occasionally*

This thread is beginning to resemble a 'stupidity from me' rather than one from the women in our lives.

far be it for me to be the voice of household chores as i seem to have become... but 'colours' is bright colours; not dark ones. Dark ones are 'darks'. Yes they are different, as bright colours go dull if they are put in with darks. Of course at that point everything is dark so who cares.... however women generally are the ones with bright colours so they probably care.

Should say "will live here in 2189"

Probably. If you want to be sure you could consult Dr Dan Streetmentioner...

Now there's a man who knows his H2G2! Good work havoc.
