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.

They are particularly stupid birds!
(Pheasants, I mean, obviously!)

Incredibly. 5 years ago one destroyed the front bumper of my then Focus ST on the same road, going left right left right, I couldn't avoid him. Pulled over to check the damage the first car to come past was a Police car. He stopped, 'what's gone off here then?' he said. 'That's what's gone off here' I said pointing at a million pieces of Pheasant on the road. 'Unlucky' he said, turning to get back in his car.

At a farm shop. Wife: "Those vintage carrots look good"

Me: "Do you mean 'heritage'?"

[CanAm]

Older cars were a bit tougher. I once hit one in my Omega at 'about' 60mph; it dislodged the cover over the tow hook.

[Evangelion]

I hit one in my Boxster a couple of years ago with no ill effects whatsoever.

(Can't speak for the bird though.)

“And Wales have won the grand slam”

Me: one eyebrow up, “er yes”
OH: feeling she needs to defend something that was somehat silly “what if another team wins all their matches too?”
Me: both eyebrows now up “really?”
OH: “are you going to put that on that silly PistonHeads site?’
Me : “No”

Given that I don't follow rugby or football, I sometimes ask my colleagues "silly" questions about it when it's on TV at work, many of which would probably be posted here if I happened to be the wife of someone and I'd just asked my hubby the question.

If you have no interest but like to ask the odd question as something catches your eye, it doesn't make you stupid; you just don't know as you'd have no reason to know.

That one isn’t about rugby or football though, it’s about whether two teams can both beat each other, and yet neither of them lose.

Well quite. The OP's already explained to his wife that a Grand Slam is when you win all the games, you don't need to follow rugby (I don't, can't stand it) to know that it's impossible for someone else to win all their games too.

Not knowing what a grand slam is is not in the least bit stupid. The rest was a bit daft.

You reminded me why I stopped bothering to post here.

Perhaps my memory is playing tricks on me but didn't they have to introduce the bonus points for winning the Grand Slam to prevent it being possible for a losing side to beat a Slam winning team? They'd introduced bonus points for scoring 3 or more tries, which caused the issue. My memory is that it was technically possible for a team to beat the Slam winning side to the Championship on goal difference. This existed for a season or two. They realised this and therefore introduced a Slam bonus.

I realise that the person's wife was having a bit of a blonde moment. and two teams cannot win all their matches in the competition.

Given the choice I would rather have a nice piece of fillet.

Well, you can get the odd word in if the occasion allows.

Pedantic tidy up, you were close! They introduced the bonus points for winning the grand slam at the same time as the other bonus points as they recognised the risk of a losing side winning the Championship over one that won the Grand Slam as you say.
