Not so much what she said, but it was over 24 hours (of being with her) before she noticed I had shaved off my full beard! And only then when someone else remarked upon it!

And this from a woman that can spot an errant dog hair on the carpet from 50 paces!

I'm impressed she still managed to recognise you.

Seemingly if they are up there good and solid then it's a perfectly good base to use I am told.
Which is why I had to chisel off 3 layers of the bds when I did my kitchen, the bathroom isn't looking right good either (tiles shouldn't be flush with door architrave should they?)
We've had that sort of fun in our place too. One classic was nasty woodchip paper painted yellow which came off to reveal 1/4" of plaster over nasty woodchip paper painted yellow...
Our kitchen got so much bigger once we'd removed the layer upon layer of tiles and vinyl that they had to measure it again before the new one went in.
We could gain 4" of headroom if we removed the floor that is over the original floor...
[Yorkshireman]That's nothing...when I were a lad we bought a place which had a whole extra room once the layers of wallpaper were removed![/Yorkshireman]

At the weekend - we must remember to tape that thing on the radio.

Me - what's that?

That Frank Sidebottom show.

There's someone quite well known on it.

Who's that?

Simon and Garfunkel.

She was talking about Chas and Dave being on the John Shuttleworth show.

Der!

Well Chas and Dave are the British equivalent of Simon and Garfunkel just a bit more Cockney.

Seen them live twice, once at the Lewisham People's Day and one time at the Warner Hotel in Lowestoft. Free buffet plus booze equals best gig ever.

A couple from the ex wife,

Lovely sunny weekend visiting her folks, we walk in to their living room and she shouts to her mum in another room
"Oooh have you had tinted windows fitted in here?"
Cue me staring at the glass thinking what the fk is she on about now!
I look back at her as she says " I think it makes the room look really dark"
"You've still got your sunglasses on love" was my reply

Walking along the prom in Llandudno eating an ice-cream
Me, do you want to sit on a bench
Her, no I don't sit on benches they are unlucky
Me, WHAT?
Her, look.... There is a plaque on nearly every bench along here where someone has died
Me, they didn't actually die ON the bench.......they........ Oh it doesn't fkin matter

My secretary isn't speaking to me.

Apparently I am a lowlife.

I told her that I slept with a married woman last week!

In fact I sleep with a married woman most weeks and have done since I got married.

Cooking on the bbq last night... Little bit of smoke, as it does. Smoke was going on the direction of the house. Mrs asked, can't you turn the bbq around ? It was a little disposable one, so easy enough

Wife spotted what appeared to be part of a roof tile on the front lawn.

I went out and looking up said "I can't see anything obvious, I'll try and have another look tomorrow"

She suggested I had a look from the upstairs window as it's closer to the roof.

on returning from work I noticed that our lollypop type bay tree by our front door that used to be about 3 foot high with a perfect round bushy head had been reduced to a 6 inch twig poking out of a pot. I told my wife that somebody had vandalised it, she replied that she had pruned it.

A month later she tried to convince me she was a 'Borderline genius'...

Presumably she's talking about the retained heat in the earth/buildings?!
