Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
This morning I decided to empty the dishwasher whilst waiting for the kettle to boil. At the end I was left with a pyrex bowl without a home (things got moved when our toddler daughter worked out how to open the cupboards) so I left it on the side. When the OH came down I asked her where I should have put it.
Her: With the baking stuff.
Me: Where's the baking stuff?
Her: Where it's always been.
Me: And where exactly is that?
Her: *points In there, under the cooker.
I'm not sure why the last sentence couldn't have been said first, but there you go...

I had a girlfriend who used to come out with some odd turns of phrase like that.
One of the more memorable ones being, "I've had enough as I can take."
I'm struggling with this one. One of the more memorable ones being, "I've had enough as I can take."
Is it relating someone giving her a tough time?

I used to send her up by saying things like, 'it's not rocket surgery' (which someone on The Apprentice actually said once) and she'd never correct me!

Yes, she was (she was referring to the builders in the shop below her flat making a lot of noise).

A fella at a place I worked at once said "It's not rock science!" I used to send her up by saying things like, 'it's not rocket surgery' (which someone on The Apprentice actually said once) and she'd never correct me!
For a long time we then used to say "It's not Geology" instead to take the mick.

"It's not rocket surgery" has been said deliberately for years now, as a joke. Same as "does the pope st in the woods" or "are bears catholic?".TwigtheWonderkid said:

I like those twisted bear and Pope ones, a Catholic friend of mine used to say, with a completely straight face, if you asked if he wanted a drink, “Does the Pope wear a funny hat?”To put it in context, there's an article, on a tab, on the PC, been there all day......"www.nytimes.com/2019/03/25/smarter-living/why-you-procrastinate-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-self-control.html"
Me: OK, tell me, why do you procrastinate?
Christine: Don't know, haven't read it yet...
I know...PC etc....but it made me laugh..

He was only quoting half the saying. It came about during the time of Pope John Paul II and went: 'does the Pope wear a funny hat and kiss runways?'V8mate said:
