In fairness, we usually park in a car park and not on the street.

Coming back from shopping to the car, she says;

"We cannot go back to the car, its too early"

'What do you mean?'

"The sign said No return within an hour."
Mine used to think the same thing!

Love that video and what I love the most is, he has a gun on him WTF!
Well it's true that dating is a crap shoot; indeed most of the women I get to date these days are so crap, I want to shoot them.

Perhaps he's thinking the same thing!

"Can you take my hairdryer and clothes downstairs, please, and put them in the wash?"

I did just that, but it seems I'm now in trouble again!

I could be a veggie like that!
And as for your wife, as you can't get a sausage muffin on its own, that would be the way to get it!
My wife has a double cheeseburger without cheese,as you can't get a double burger

At a party over the weekend my wife was talking to some of her close friends she's known for 20+ years etc, and the subject turned to another friend of theirs and a recent divorce:

My wife then says "Well, you know what she was like, and then I think she fell off the wagon again and that's probably why her husband has left. But I spoke to her and it sounds like now she is 'near the wagon' again"

Sound like my colleague's daughter, she's a veggie for ethical reasons, however she has the odd KFC!

Or my daughter's militant vegan sister in law who preaches, however isn't averse to having cheese occasionally or if out having a meal and there are no vegan dishes or none that she likes, she'll order something with meat but will pick the meat out!

Just remembered one from a few days ago.

We are out exploring the city that we are holidaying in (Chiang Mai in Thailand), I spot a tramp/begger type person, he looks nothing like the tramps from back home, he clearly is on a whole different level, absolutely filthy, clothes ripped to shreds, super skinny etc, just like you see on documentaries about third world countries and the poor.

I point him out to the wife, she says oh poor thing, how sad; we continue on our way and she says "that begger, he looks a right state and clearly has nothing in his life, if that was me I'd probably just jump off the nearest bridge and end it all".

I was a tad shocked at her statement, particularly as a few years ago she mentioned that she would like to train as a social worker at some point!

And yet, people with seemingly 'everything' still go through with it. See Chester from Linkin Park.. rock star lifestyle, loving family, tons of money.. polar opposite to the guy in Thailand who has decided to keep soldiering on. Seems harsh to judge in such a way.

Anyway, thread derailment.

Completely different cultures and cultural mindsets though.

- Thailand = material posessions don't really matter, so that beggar may have been spiritually happy (somehow...don't ask me...but the monks manage it).
- USA = perception that material posessions and success are everything, so Chester and Chris Cornell may well have felt isolated and unable to express (in that society) that their posessions/success meant nothing to them and what they really needed was "X"...

Watching Escape to the Chateau on tv last night, I was saying how much I admired Mr Strawbridge's can-do attitude and general outlook on life.

Wife replied: "Yes, I love Dick"

I know I'm immature but I really feel like I've just witnessed the high water mark of comedy...

i kind of see part of the point of going to these countries is to see how differently people live, priorities, support, money, culture, food... maybe get some perspective in order to change our views of how we see and approach our own lives and values, not just to point at them and go oh that looks st. Indian slums for example contain some of the happiest people in the world, who by our metrics have nothing, but in reality have far more of the things that matter than we do in the West.
