The answer is to take control of the laundry and invest in an externally vented tumble dryer.

This will both make her happy and clear the fog.

it also means you can use the cheapest Lidl detergent and forget about using Fabric Softener in the rinse cycle. It will save money in the long run.

Cheers,

Tony
Or, better still, a condenser tumble dryer. No hose hanging out the window. Yay!
Condenser dryers are crap.

Plus externally vented dryers requre a 4 inch hole being drilled throught two walls to the exterior. This necessitates the purchase of 1. A big f--off drill and 2. A huge masonery hole drill kit. This will go some way to ensuring that you will die with the most tools and therefore win.

During this exercise you may also break your wrist as the big f--ck off drill and the huge masonery drill bit / hole saw snatch and grab as they chew through two walls and all the insulation inbetween but you wanted dry clothes right so its your fault.............

I may have had a flash back then.

Cheers,

Tony

Our condenser dryer is great and much better than the vented dryer it replaced - you just have experienced a rubbish one wink

While watching Gareth Anscombe kick for goal (again) in the Wales-Ireland match, my wife asked me why Owen Farrell wasn't playing.
Not really a classic from the Mrs. I've got no idea who those two blokes are either.

You’re not on your own CanAm, me neither, but I’m guessing that the good ol’ boys who populate the Forum are familiar with them both, right down to their Social Security numbers, oops!, National Insurance numbers, rolleyes
Troll, much?

Light hearted comment on a day of rugby= chance for some good ol' boys on the forum to offer a snide remarks to make themselves look big and clever, IMHO. smile

Innapropriate use of Troll.
It was a throwaway comment for not knowing who fairly obscure rugby players are. (# me too)

I won’t disagree on it, I’d never heard of the two rugby players in question, and what I know about the game could be written on the back of a postage stamp.
I certainly wasn’t trolling, and I suspect that not knowing who the players were, wouldn’t make me big and clever, more likely dumb in a rugby fan’s eyes.
To reiterate, I’m not sorry that I didn’t know the guys in question, but I had no agenda in saying so.

How do I demonstrate persuasively that the capacity of the washing machine is not the same as the maximum amount of clothing that can be pressed into the drum?
Any ideas?
Take six kilos of clothes from her wardrobe, ask her to put them all on, then step on the scales.
Empty a large bucket of water over her head, then weigh her again.
Remove clothing, one item at a time, until her weight is reduced by six kilos.
Explain why she's still wearing wet clothes.

While she recovers from pneumonia you do the washing.

Quite brilliant karona!

Not really the point.

His missus (not Mrs) knew the name of another rugby player, but one from a different country. The fact that you haven't heard of either of them is irrelevant.

Well you've got me there as I know f/all about rugby.

BTW, my spelling was deliberate, bearing in mind that the thread title is "Classic from the mrs!"

To be fair Farrell is an "Irish Name" and Owen Farrell's father does coach the Irish team, so I think you are being a tad harsh smile

While trying to keep out of the Mrs/missus contretemps, I’m always mildly bemused when someone, (wrongly IMO), uses the word misses to describe his wife.

To be fair, we were looking at a player in a red shirt at the time! : hehe:

For balance: I say plenty of stupid things, and she's definitely the more intelligent person in our marriage. I'm sure that I would have earned several entries in "classic from the Mr" by now, and I imagine if I referred to her as "the missus" I'd get a well-deserved slap. hehe

How about we move on now? My only intent was to post something that might make others smile; since the opposite was achieved then perhaps others might offer other stories that raised a smile from them?

discussing the biblical rain of the last couple of days

Me: "50 mil of rain fell today"
She: "50 millilitres? That's hardly anything"

after explaining....

She: "it's still not very much, only 5cm"
Me: "yes but it.... isn't an even 5cm on every surface is it.... it runs off things"
She: "oh"

Having a spirited drive home from mum and dads this evening down a very twisty country B road we came round a corner. Her, 'watch out for that, that... er... PIGEON!

It was a Pheasant at the side of the road. I missed it.
