Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
When we were choosing a new TV for the bedroom a couple of years ago I left my wife to look through the argos catalogue
She spent a good 5 minutes before choosing which one she wanted, it was at that point I pointed out the date of the catalogue 1996
She doesn't do technology, she once tried to surprise me and went to buy a sony surround system when they were new
In the shop she admitted to me she'd asked for a sorony rounda sound , much to the salesmans amusement

At least you can gain man points and bring home a better TV, that is slimmer and with more functions than the model she suggested...?She spent a good 5 minutes before choosing which one she wanted, it was at that point I pointed out the date of the catalogue 1996
This morning my wife was getting ready to paint the living room wall a new colour. First we needed to remove a couple of old picture mountings.
Her "How the hell are you supposed to remove these screws from the wall? I mean they don't even have a slot for the bloody screw driver to fit in to!"
Me "Those are nails"
To be fair they were masonry nails that can look like they have a thread on them. At least that is what I said to the OH to make her feel better - just after telling her that this was going straight on the Classic fron the Mrs thread!

We have just bought an SLK (new to us). I have been singing "Oh lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz, my friends all have Porches I must make amends". She interpreted it as (and she should know better being of that generation) as "my friends all have Horses".
sad. She's a keeper though.

'er indoors came home today with a lovely set of new ceramic knives for the kitchen, and a magnetic rack to hang them on .......
Fantastic!!!

Have you tried them on the magnetic rack though? I think Kyocera embed some metal in there knives so they will activate airport metal detectors, don't know how much though. I heard it on one of those 'How it's made' programmes. Obviously your OH watched it as well
Aren't they just ceramic coated? Otherwise they'd be very brittle.DWS said:

I thought there were different versions of that song, with different lyrics?sad. She's a keeper though.
