Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
I walked into the living room last night with a snack in my hand. It was dark, and the only light was that coming from our TV.
Wife: "Ooh! What's that?" Her hand disappears into the bag, then it's "Ooh that's a big one!" Followed by the stolen snack disappearing into her mouth.
Her face was a picture! A crunch was followed by a spreading look of complete and utter disgust. She'd nicked one of my pork scratchings. But the thing is, she REALLY doesn't like pork scratchings.
Well, out it came, and she offered it back to me, holding it as far away as she possibly could, given the limit of her arm's length. Like a gentleman, I took it from her, and asked "would you like something to take the taste away dear?"
The only sweet thing I could find readily in the kitchen was a bag of marshmallows. Hopefully now she'll respect my snacks,and at least ask first before dipping into them! I have no idea what it was she thought she was snaffling?

Which perhaps begs the question, then why the f... did you buy them then?
You have so much to learn! Shoes are not bought for walking or because they're comfortable, they're bought because they're pretty!Which perhaps begs the question, then why the f... did you buy them then?
pfft, I'm not even a female and I know that.
whilst playing scrabble on friday evening after dinner and a few drinks we were listening to the radio - a repeat of movie themes with mark kermode - jolly good it was too.
anyways afterwards Brown sugar by the rolling stones came on and the wife pops up (I kid you not)...
Her: is this a song about that horse?
me: what?
her: this song, about that famous horse that got kidnapped...
me: this is Brown Sugar by the stones...
her: oh, not brown Shergar then?
me: (mouth open) no. not Brown shergar. this song was written in 1971. shergar was kidnapped in ooh abut 1983?
her: well they could have predicted it
me: what that an alleged terrorist kidnapping by the IRA to steal a champion horse could possibly have been written about in a song and co-incidentally then took place 12 years later?
her: well there were alot of that sort of thing going on back then
me: alot of what ? pop songs prediciting terrorist activities?
her: no, pop stars that were involved in political activities.
me: are you trying to assuage that mick jagger was in the IRA???????!!!!! (my gast is truly flabbered by this point)
her: no not him, the other fella...irish
me: I know you mean Bob Geldof don;t you?
her: yes that's him.
me: so the man that almost single handedly brought to the worlds attention health inequalities, starvation and death in drought ridden ethiopia and then co-wrote a charity single and then arranged arguably the largest public concert in living memoary at that time - IS somehow a terrorist?
her: well he must have been involved, you can't do all that without help....
me: he had help. he had Midge Ure. and Wham.
her: i've never liked boy george....
ad infinitum....this was after one. ONE. amaretto and coke....

I am well used to this scenario; fear not. Her friend, on the other hand, has the 'sense' to wear 'walking shoes' and changes into the posh shoes at the venue.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
