If anyone has seen the vid of a fireman undoing his kit, and pushing it through an opening between two rungs on a ladder laid on the floor, to demonstrate he can his gear and himself through a small opening.
Showed it to the OH, she said "Why doesn't he just walk over it".
Sorry I really thought you were talking about a male stripper routine when I read that for the first couple of times Showed it to the OH, she said "Why doesn't he just walk over it".

Frank! It's 'if I were' not if I was'. As in ' if I were a carpenter and you were a lady'
Unless you're Midge Ure.....If I was a soldier
Captive arms I'd lay before her
If I was a sailor
Seven oceans I'd sail to her

Should be "If I were.." of course. Poor grammar from Midge.
Did you actually read any of the posts you quoted?Did you?
He quoted a post pointing out exactly the same thing that he then pointd out.

What is it with them and not understanding the whole left/right thing when it comes to directions?
I'm pretty sure by about 5 years old I'd worked out what was left and what was right, Mrs 1983 is 35 and still doesn't know the difference
Yup, my 40yr old sister in law still uses "to the window" and "from the window" for directions, as this is what her driving instructor had to resort to 20yrs ago.I'm pretty sure by about 5 years old I'd worked out what was left and what was right, Mrs 1983 is 35 and still doesn't know the difference

I’m male. I often get left and right mixed up. I'm pretty sure by about 5 years old I'd worked out what was left and what was right, Mrs 1983 is 35 and still doesn't know the difference

My dad always has. It was always "your side" or "my side" with directions from my mother. He is also dyslexic, so there may be a connection.I'm pretty sure by about 5 years old I'd worked out what was left and what was right, Mrs 1983 is 35 and still doesn't know the difference
I don’t know if this should count as a classic from her, or if she has a point, and I haven’t been keeping up.
I was watching a programme about the truck bombing of the WTC in New York in 1993, she was, (it appeared) looking at stuff on her phone.
Suddenly, without looking up from her phone, she said, “If the Soviet Union hadn’t broken up, that wouldn’t have happened, neither would 9/11.”
I began to form the word “How”, then decided that it was no good asking a question that I couldn’t argue about her answer to, so shut my mouth.
I love her to bits, but has she got any kind of point, or can I safely tell her that she’s nuts?

Today's revelation came from her desire to not buy new clothes, due to the impact of fashion on the environment etc. Although what this actually meant was buying a heap of stuff from charity shops, when she rarely buys clothes in the first place.
Anyway, talking about an upcoming foreign holiday, she announces she will need 'holiday clothes'. I asked what this meant, and pointed out she has lots of shorts/t-shirts that she wears in the summer already. It's a city break, not a beach holiday so we're not discussing bikinis etc.
Apparently 'holiday clothes' shorts/t-shirts are different from normal shorts/t-shirts you would wear here when it's warm, and she couldn't explain why.

Welcome to my world, I think it is just an excuse to purchase more clothes.Anyway, talking about an upcoming foreign holiday, she announces she will need 'holiday clothes'.

I've demonstrated by large amounts of hardly worn shirts, trousers and tshirts that I don't need anymore clothing gifts for several yrs.
