Mrs 111R 'Are penguins birds?'

And watching all the birds in the back garden she says 'Great Tits are the big ones' . Hard to disagree

Yep, my favourite birds as well

Just before we left to go on holiday, I turned the water off. Wife told me not to as "it would stop the fridge freezer from working"

Bless.

Now make up your mind! Last week she said:-

Left the house to go on holiday and turned off the water under the sink.

Wife: "If you turn the water off, won't that break the fridge?"

Maybe they take many holidays, and she's a bit slow.

Fortunately Mrs PR is sharp as a whip, if she was "slow" I'd not be inclined to boast.

I'm blaming jet lag.

And coincidentally, 'Jet Lag' was our nickname for my late mother too!

In Sainsbury’s yesterday, she is telling me something across the aisle, so I indicated I couldn’t hear, so she shouts, pointing down an aisle,

“I WILL GO DOWN FOR DOG TREATS”

Quite loudly, which amused me, and a few passers by....

So something like this happened?

Watching The Hunter. Steve Mcqueen's last film?

The scene am watching has a black and a white man only in it. My wife comes in and says she recognises both actors but can't place names. Tell her it is is Steve McQueen and don't recognise other fella. She then asks which one is Steve Mcqueen.

Lost for words.

Maybe she was thinking of Steve McQueen, the director of "12 Years a Slave" fame

If he is a director he would not be on screen

Alfred Hitchcock was a director and was on screen in his films.

By the way, I obviously wasn't being serious

We have one of those kettles that can be set to different temperatures.

"I've put the kettle on to boil at 90"

I think that's about 9000 feet

[SpeckledJim]

If I put my kettle on to boil at 90 degrees then all the water would pour out.

Glancing across at the dashboard instruments “your speedo is broken we are definitely going faster than 20”

She was looking at the rev counter.

DJ: Can you guess the name of this famous sporting commentator?

[Plays audio clip of excited Murray Walker as Nigel Mansell wins]

Caller: Er, dunno. Can you give us a clue?

DJ: Well, his first name sounds like something you'd suck.

Caller: Dickie Davies?

Not my wife but presumably somebody's ...

Was in a TV shop this lunchtime, watching the live coverage of the leadership election results on the Beeb. The reporter interviewed a young Tory supporter called Cameron Bradbury, and I remarked to a woman standing next to me, "I wonder if he was named after David?"

She said, "Who's David Bradbury?"

Depends - my old house had a single RCD, and if that tripped, then everything would go off. If this is the case, then someone may not know that it's the RCD, and assume that it's "the house".

My new house has a split fuse box, so some is on an RCD, and some isn't.

What new houses should have now are individual RCDs for each circuit.

RCBOs on each circuit instead of one or two RCDs and MCBs on each circuit. Just had the house rewired in this spec.

And is not necessarily a requirement, even in the 18th Edition, however many companies have a vested interest and will 'translate' a regulation to suit their own agendas/pockets.
