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!

Maybe, just maybe, she said that as a joke and you fell for it.

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.

The Mrs’ phone charger seems to have stopped working - apparently it’s gone ‘kerplunk’

It was lost on her when I said she must be losing her marbles…
Although I have never played it, I got the reference. Its quite an old game, perhaps she just forgot about it.

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!"

grumpy

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.
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 biggrin

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

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

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

I cleaned the downstairs windows, couldn't find the Windolene so used some AutoGlym Fast glass which smells suspiciously like Windolene.

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.

Why charge your phone at home when you can carry it round connected to a battery pack?
