Ok, well I've never heard of or encountered a dish of minced pork with mashed (smashed if one is a hipster) potato!
What possible sensibilities could I have upset today? Now, I do have form, due to taking “The sun is past the yardarm” as an instruction, not an option..I have past form, for misappropriating/misspelling words, or general incoherent waffle; in the “Period Classics” thread, I identified “Volkswagen Beatles” which resulted in justified Mick taking, and much creative Photoshop posting’ including a famous zebra crossing.
What was I guilty of this time? Pairing a sauvignon blanc with a steak chateaubriand, some diabolical spelling or worse incoherent waffle.
With much trepidation, I logged into PH this morning, my crime, fried minced pork and onions with mashed potato.
I present to you, deconstructed pigsty pie.

Mrs. DG “What’s for dinner tonight.”
“What would you like?”
“Minced pork and mashed potato’s, do you need anything from the shops”
“Salted butter and bread, what time will you be home?”
“7 pm”
Food prepared, all ready to go, Mrs DG arrives at 8:30 pm, no butter or bread, lashing down with rain outside.
“Why didn’t you remind me?”
FFS, my fault again!
Me - Nipping over to Tesco, do we need anything?“What would you like?”

Her - No
Upon my return
Her - Did you get toilet roll?
Me - No, did you ask me to get some?
Her - No, thought you would have noticed we were running low
Me - When did you notice?
Her - Just after you left
Me - If only there was some type of phone that i could carry with me so you could communicate with me while i was on the move, i'd call it a "moveable phone"
Her - *huffs
My fault obviously for not reading her mind.

Mrs 404 kindly picked me up from the airfield last night, coming home from hospital. As she pulled out of the parking bay she complained that the steering felt very heavy (Volvo S80).
20 yards later I told her to stop.
Right front tyre completely flat.
So I swapped it for the space saver. I was under medical orders not to drive so I told her to keep it under 50.
"But it says 80 on the wheel".
"It says 80kmh. 80 kilometres is 50 miles".
"But that's distance, not speed".
She has a University degree.
I got the tyre stripped off the rim today and it's full of minced rubber debris. I have no idea how far she has been driving on it, vaguely wondering why the steering felt a bit off, but I checked and corrected the pressures on Monday morning.
What worries me is that had no idea what might be wrong, despite the thing shaking like a jackhammer and steering like a cow in a bog.

Our car was at one location, needed to move the car and one person to a location just down the road. With car seats etc, it was easiest if I walked, and friend rode in the car, SWMBO driving.20 yards later I told her to stop.

I start walking, halfway down the road she drives up behind me. I signal her to stop. I then walk to the rear of the car and close the tailgate.
I might add car has a fancy dash, so has a large pop up message that says, in plain English "Tailgate open" and a picture of the car with the boot wide open. And a warning red light. And all the bongs going off. And all the wind noise.
Another instance I was asked what I had done to the car as the steering was shaking all the way home. It was the lane assist telling her she was driving with her left hand wheels running on the edge of the road.
My wife (61), talking about our 16 year old cocker spaniel:
" I think you are right, she's got Alzheimers. She's just staring into space past her water bowl".
Me :"Yes, you told me that she had it a couple of months ago"
Her "Oh, I don't remember telling you that".
We looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Yes, of course we both take Alzheimers seriously, her mother had it before she died, and we both dread ending our days with that affliction.
But even the macabre can seem funny in a different context.

Today, SWMBO was doing the driving (my first mistake but I digress) as we were visiting the house we are buying to check some stuff out. The step ladders were in the car, so as the front passenger seat was out of action I was in the back. On the way home we called in at Costco for some offers, upon leaving the store she pipes up "Where did we park?"
Me - "You drove here how do you not know?" (Mistake No2)
SWMBO - "I just park the car I don't worry about things like that, I just guess roughly which row and find it"
Me - Insert Speechless emoji.
SWMBO - "Besides, its not like Disney where you take a picture of the car park and row number on the ground is it?" (If you've been WDW, you'll understand)
Me - Insert Double speechless emoji.
