It's about the same as a gas power plant, though it's worth considering the saving on methane that would have come from putting it together in landfill.

f**k it, it's getting done when I'm in power. Big bonfire in Bridge of Allan to start with, and they can lump it.

Yes, but I can only do Tuesdays 2-4pm.

“Leading by example” will be my motto.

Don't burn yourself out. Maybe working from home would be the better option. Shouldn't interfere with your current P&B duties.

I’ll come in.  I only go to work so I can’t hear the clicking sound of the gas cooker every 10 minutes.

Her: I did something funny.

Me: What?

Her: Know how I went down stair to get a drink?

Me:  ........yeah?

Her: I poured the drink.

Me:.................ok?

Her: you'll never guess what I did then.

Me: Just tell me the fucking story, I don't want to respond every 5 seconds.

Her: !?!? What's up with you? you not want me to talk to you?

Me: Just tell me what happened.
 

Her: Nevermind.

Wife's work night out(early start). I ask do you want me to come get you knowing town will be mental. No says she I wont be late I'll get the bus home. Just got a text asking 'Can you come get me and drop my pal off in Chapelhall' (Which is not even close to being on the way) I tell her not a chance I'll be doing that. Now blanking me. It'll be fun when she eventually gets home.......

Count yourself lucky that she was kind enough to give you the heads up. Usually it's just a "Can you pick me up?" which you happily go and do, but when you get there you notice her standing on the pavement with a pal. "Could you just give Clare a lift home on the way?" is the first question you're asked, which has been asked full in the knowledge that you won't say "No, f**k off" when Clare is standing like a spare p***k waiting for the lift that your Mrs has clearly already promised her. This more often than not also involves either a trip through the 24 hour McDonalds drive thru or a stop outside a kebab shop, neither of which you agreed to when you first accepted the job. All in what should have been a 10 minute drive is now an hour long kerfuffle.

I should note that some of my male friends are excruciatingly bad for this too, if not worse.

At this point, just walk away shaking your head. You will have already shown more than a respectable amount of patience. Maybe say 'f**k this' as you go.

Actually in Scandinavia they do burn a lot of it. They're sufficiently rational people the NIMBY argument doesn't work.
Apparently the Danish have to import rubbish for their incinerator to keep it going at an optimum level, quite a striking building just outside Copenhagen.

I'm on your wife's side here, quite frankly, unless there's more to this than meets the eye.

On the other hand, women can and do drag these sort of stories out.

That’s absolutely textbook. It’s just missing her losing her place five times and going “what was I saying??”

Guess how much I saved?

Guess who I met today?

Somehow replying with 'no idea' makes me a bad person.

Well, you shouldn't be playing guessing games with Gav's wife.

I usually reply to these kind of games with ridiculous hyperbole that seems to take the wind out of her guessing game sails for a while at least.
" guess how much that shop just charged me for a wee bottle of juice?"

"50 quid"

"och don't be stupid, never mind"

I often do similar, but more realistic to take the wind out the sails. 

Her: Guess how much a small glass o wine was in [insert establishment] 

Me: £6.50?

Her: Well, close, £5.70.

Me: [insert Partridge shrug gif]

Staggering back home through the door at 7pm, having become absolutely smashed (and from the sounds of things, sick ) after her works Xmas lunch.  Bloody lightweight.    

Eta:  No doubt she'll want nothing to eat after I postponed planning dinner until she got home.  <_<

The guessing game can be useful for test purposes too.

"Guess who I saw today?"
"The ex-boyfriend you think I don't know you cheated on me with?"
*chokes on beverage*

Try it; it's fun.

Me: do you want to watch something?

Her: yeah

Me: what do you want to watch

Her: anything at all

Me: *skips through every channel listing in the world* see anything?

Her: not really, put anything on.

Me: do you want a film or tv show?

Her: either

Me: *puts on high quality film or tv show*.....

Her: *plays pish videos on phone at volume level that competes with TV*

Me: do you not want to watch this?

Her: I am watching.
