My mother, scanning the TV pages in the paper.


HER: There's a comedy programme on later, must be new, I've never heard of it.

ME: Who's in it?

HER: Victor something, no idea who he is.

ME: What's his name then?

HER: Victor Iawood.

I am not sure I understand?

Do you mean you do it separately from your wife?

I usually check so that my wife doesn't find out.

While it might be natural to do that discretely, I think it's probably more important to do it discreetly.

We were driving down a country road yesterday with trees / hedges etc right up to the roadside, some of which also stretched over the road at the top.

Her: I really like that they cut the edges so straight and neatly
Me: Er, yes - but they don't really cut it do they
Her: What do you mean?
Me: Well it's lorries / buses etc that keep it like that
Her: I don't think so. I'm sure lorries aren't cutting the hedge back

If the car was going slower, I would have tried getting out....

Oh yeah, you're right. Sorry, my bad.
I thought the capital 'i' was a small 'L' and I inadvertantly corrected it to a capital.

On holiday at moment, at water park, I asked her in doors where the first born was, her reply: “he’s gone to have a go on the bonsai”

Seemingly there was a slide called Banzai but apparently I’m a dick for laughing about a slide being named after a small Japanese tree!

Woah fellah, steady! On holiday when the masses are off ... water park ... Are you trying to inflame the PH-masses* and get cross-posted into the Council thread? wink



* It's the 'her in doors' (sic) that I can't stand.

Soz. If going on holiday when the kids are off school I must be council. Taking them out of school for a cheap holiday is surely more council?

Fair cop with the water park though, just trying to keep the kids from killing each other!

Earlier today, complaining the hospital clock was stuck at 20:18.
Had to point out that was the year,the time was a clock face in the bottom corner!
She blames a lack of glasses, I blame a lack of brains (but will not dare tell her smile)

She is currently extolling the benefits of EE-Cigarettes....presumably good WiFi.

Not my missus but a friend of SWMBO’s who we met at a festival this weekend. The festival is called Beautiful Days and during the weekend people were pegging decorated clothes pegs to shirts and hats with ‘BD18’ on one side and something gushy like ‘love’ or ‘hope’ or othersuch tosh on the other. On receiving such a peg said friend was completely bemused by what on earth BD18 might stand for (at Beautiful Days in 2018).

She eventually had to be told as she couldn’t work it out for love nor money.
