Sergeant Wilson Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The couch is average height and untampered with. It's her dodgy knee that cases the problem getting off it. The things are on now anyway, we'll see how long they last until the next wheeze to resolve the issue comes up. I suspect I might be getting dragged round furniture shops in January. Do any of them have sales on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergeant Wilson Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 She's working from home today. I've learned that some people are having travelling difficulties because "the roads have all jack-knived". An IT development has occurred that if you "lean hard" on the touch pad of a lap top it'll "work better". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 The wife asked me the other night what day New Year's Day will be this year. I said Friday. She said, "Oh, just like Christmas Day - is that unusual for them both to be on the same day"? She wasn't joking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re up for some high level pedantry you could explain to her that, whilst Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are always on the same weekday, New Year’s Day and Christmas Day are never on the same weekday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, she struggled with the idea that Dec 25 and Jan 1 are 7 days apart so always the same day - your point will send her over the edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Another from her this afternoon - She said she was going for a manicure and a pedicure - I asked where (f**k knows why as I don't really care) - she then tries to describe the place referencing numerous other small stores around it. Finally getting pissed off with the guessing game that was ensuing, I asked if it was the place where I get my hair cut - she says yes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandon Par Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 On the subject of geography over dinner... ”They speak French in Portugal” She is told this is incorrect. ”What do they speak in Portugal then?”. She is informed they speak Portuguese. We establish that she thought Portuguese was only spoken in Brazil. ”Well where do they speak French?” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you have taught her that your televised victory over a local rival was the high watermark of football. These Manchester and Liverpool teams have not earned the right to face Cowden on BBC Alba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
