Mine has done the we never watch anything together bit so we put on a film she wants to watch. After I've found/set up said film with her watching we will settle down to watch it at which point she will make a cup of tea/wine/other, get snacks etc. Why didn't you do that why I was getting the film ready.
So, I pause it.
Settled, start film.
Straight on her phone.
look up every 5 minutes. "who's he?" "why is that happening" "is she a goody?"
The answers being, it's been on 5 minutes you know as much as me.
She will then fall asleep.
I'll then switch to something else.
She will wake up and ask the same questions and fall asleep again.
At bedtime she will say she didn't like the film much.
They're clones aren't they. All of 'em.So, I pause it.

Watching How I Met Your Mother. She is paying full attention and enjoying the show.
A character talks at length about how excited she is to see her boyfriend as it's her 21st birthday. She then receives a phone call which shocks her. We cut away to a scene where she's in a black dress, crying, in her own home, as the last of the mourners leave. She finds her birthday gift from the boyfriend complete with a touching and poignant note, which she reads alone whilst weeping.
Ten minutes further into the show.
R: "Wait.... did her boyfriend die or something?!"

Now we live in an era where every flex comes with its own plug moulded on ... can you even buy plugs?
Which is why everyone should have a selection of plugs, cut off dead electrical items for just such an occasion.havoc said:

I’ve a feeling that I’ve mentioned this before, but with my wife it isn’t talking, it’s checking her Facebook on her phone.
If I freeze the TV screen, she’ll say “It’s okay, I’m listening to it.”
When I tell her that by not watching, she may miss a subtle movement or gesture on screen, she goes bananas.
At other times, I hear an imperceptible gentle snore, and see that her eyes are closed, so I turn the TV off, or switch to something I may prefer.
Without opening her eyes, she says, “I was listening to that!”
What? You're married to her too? That two-timing...If I freeze the TV screen, she’ll say “It’s okay, I’m listening to it.”

Sarah driving yesterday. Bought two points to her attention. An instance when she was going 34mph and accelerating.... towards a Gatso, and going around a roundabout, towards a red light, showing no signs of slowing.
Her - 'I don't know how I manage to drive when you're not in the car'
Me - 'coming from a woman who can't go a minute without commenting on MY driving or taking a gulp of air every time I go for an overtake!'

Can we do a "Mrs" when it relates to a mate of mine who really is a bit of an old woman?
We can? Good.
I'm walking up to his car and notice that one of his brake lights isn't working, so I tell him.
"I'd better get that fixed, my mate got a year's ban for that"
"Really? A year's ban for a faulty brake light... that can't be right."
"Yeah, his brake light was broken, the police pulled him over and he'd been drinking"
It really happened.

Which is why everyone should have a selection of plugs, cut off dead electrical items for just such an occasion.I know that no one should be stupid enough to plug one in but I’ve seen enough stupidity in my life not to be surprised if It happened.

Potentially they’re a bit dangerous to leave lying around, especially if you have kids (or a wife by the sounds of this thread).
I know that no one should be stupid enough to plug one in but I’ve seen enough stupidity in my life not to be surprised if I?t happened.
It has happened. A child died and an electrician went to prison. CBA to look it up. Sorry.I know that no one should be stupid enough to plug one in but I’ve seen enough stupidity in my life not to be surprised if I?t happened.
In my defence, I'd just come out of a Metallica gig, I hurt everywhere and was a little the worse for wear.
Adult daughter was telling us how she remembered the planets order by the phrase "My very elderly maiden aunt swam under north pier". I took this in and pondered over it as we drove home and then asked the question
"So what planet begins with E then?"
Not my finest hour.

I'm expecting a woosh here, but what planet starts with "a"? Adult daughter was telling us how she remembered the planets order by the phrase "My very elderly maiden aunt swam under north pier". I took this in and pondered over it as we drove home and then asked the question

An argument I like is that a dwarf planet is a planet in the same way that a blue car is a car.
Doesn't work for me. I'd say it would be more like is one of those micro cars (the ones you can drive with a moped license) a car.It looks like a small car but legally it's something else.
