Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
Daughter commented on problems parking near her flat
Me - We're fortunate it's easy to park at our house (we have garage, drive and the road's not usually very busy)
Wife - Yes, because they're houses not flats and people only have 1 car.
Daughter - Errr? Your 's, dad's, the classic in the garage and my sister's...
Wife - Oh yeah

Many years ago when working in Aberdeen I would drive my Dad to the airport at sparrow-fart on Mondays to get the DanAir red-eye to London. I'd go into the terminal and have a coffee and bacon roll with him, then go to work. This worked great until I changed my car one weekend.
I spent nearly an hour wandering around the parking looking for the Subaru and must have walked straight past my Capri several times.
Mondays.....
We have family coming over this afternoon and staying overnight. Upon noting that it’s been a while since we ran the shower in the loft conversion.
MrsEltax: you should run the shower upstairs for a few minutes before they arrive, ready for the morning. Wouldn’t want them getting that salmonella

Whilst watching the Italy - Croatia match yesterday: "I'm surprised the ref hasn't run out of yellow cards he's given so many out" as if he's handing them out like birthday cards!
I love that one. It would be brilliant if the ref did actually give them a yellow card each when booked and they had to find a place to keep it for the rest of the match. Or maybe they could make velcro ones so the players could attach them to their shirts like prisoners cleaning up the local park or something.We’re currently driving through France and yesterday came up behind a French car being driven somewhat erratically.
I waited for a chance to pass, and just as I was doing so, Mrs R said “She’s taking a selfie…she’s actually taking a bliddy selfie. Stupid cow!”.
Overtake completed safely, a couple of miles down the road later and I had almost forgotten the encounter until Mrs R then said “Oh hang on - she was sitting where you are, that makes her a passenger, doesn’t it?”

we have an air con unit in the bedroom and my wife went to bed a couple of hours earlier than me last night. Not sure how she'd managed it but she'd done something that meant the exhaust was facing into the room, so it spent 120 mins recycling the same hot air. It was blowing hot air right at her in bed too.
Just got home, I'd been at work late so I missed the football. I knew she'd watched it so I said "don't tell me the score, I want to watch the highlights."
She cheerfully said "don't worry, it was nil nil!"
As it turns out she did me a favour as it seems the game was pretty dire anyway.

I made the mistake of watching a bit of it. She cheerfully said "don't worry, it was nil nil!"

It wasn't a game of football - it was 2 teams doing 90 minutes of passing practice on the same pitch, taking it in turns and sharing one ball.
She definitely did you a favour.

I have a wrong hand drive car and my Mrs will usually be faffing on her phone in the passenger seat, I'm convinced the police are going to pull us over one day thinking she's the driver I waited for a chance to pass, and just as I was doing so, Mrs R said “She’s taking a selfie…she’s actually taking a bliddy selfie.

Go on, you’re looking forward to it happening just to see the look on the copper’s face when the penny drops.Blown2CV said:

My other half set up a fan by the open patio doors this afternoon sucking hot air in from outside.Monkeylegend said:

She probably read this guide on the BBC site https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-622...

She told me I shouldnt be using car products on windows in the house as its probably flammable, she has said this before and I have explained that lashing loads of flammable stuff on something that runs on heat, sparks, fuel and friction wouldnt be a good idea and anyway I cant imagine the few microns of polish/window cleaner that gets left behind is a major fire hazard.
Apparently Windowlene on the car is fine, but not the other way round. Have offered to try and light car polish to show its quite hard to light.
ITS THE SAME STUFF, SMELL IT !
Its weird the stuff that goes through peoples heads, now wondering if I have any weird ideas like that.
