I said "Tell you what Paul, my missus, why is it women can't just straight talk eh? They don't half go round and round the Wrekin". He said, "What's a Wrekin?" I said "Not a Wrekin, the Wrekin. It's a hill. Going round the Wrekin". Keith piped up, he said "Likes rambling then does she?". I said "Oh you don't know the half of it Keith, she could talk for England". He said, "No, she likes going rambling? Walking up hills?". I said "No, she doesn't like ramb...".Paul interrupted me, he said "When's this competition then?" I said "What competition?". He said "This rambling one, talking for England?". I said, "It's not actually a compet.." Keith interrupts me. He says "Stink then does it, this hill?" I said "What?" He said "You said it's reeking?". And so on and so forth. Sometimes men just aren't as concerned with the real conversation. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a great line in one of Micky Flanagans stand ups where he says to his missus he's going down the pub to meet Dave, when he returns she's asking him about Dave's missus and if she is ok and he replies "I didn't even ask Dave if he was ok". Always thought that summed it up perfectly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I guess I've had variations on the following conversation on approximately 500 different Saturdays: Mrs chris: was your dad at the football? Mr chris: ermm, yeah. Mrs chris: how is he? what they doing about Monday? does your mum want those spare tins? will they be picking the kids up for me on Thursday? Mr chris: dunno 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought that summed it up perfectly. I typed out a long post trying to explain this kind of thing but this sums it up perfectly. My missus is exactly the same. So many questions. My standard reply now is "you've got his/her number, ask him yourself!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm guessing you knew that really. As for people playing their music without headphones and blaring it out in shitty quality in public, there's a massive poser nobhead at my gym who does that in the changing rooms and the showers. He also uses one of those oxygen restriction masks (that apparently don't actually work all that well) and it makes him look like such a tool, and a bit like Predator since has has dreads. In short, people being selfish and thoughtless in public pisses me right off. Oh man. These things (and all from @TrentVilla) wind me up too!

I would like to thank you, it's Mrs P's birthday tomorrow and I'd only got her something small and had been thinking I should probably get her something else. I saw your post which made me think of looking for Micky Flanagan tickets as she likes him. Barclaycard Arena, Friday 19th May 2017 - a handful of platinum tickets were left so I've just bought a couple. Boom! ...she better take me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted May 4, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2017 Trying to buy a kitchen. It's just impossible. Worse than estate agents. Originally I was going for a bespoke built but talked myself out of it given the relative value of my property as I didn't think £15k (incl fitting and all appliances) was money well spent. Decided to go to Wickes as everyone told me they were much easier to deal with. Get a quote, tell him it's too much, he says he'll do me a deal when I'm ready. In the meantime they try to entice me back with a letter telling me about their 50% sale. So I trot over there and the price I was quoted last week has gone up by a grand. It's now £13.5k all-in and that's including the 50% sale. All bluff, smoke and mirrors and playing the sales game. The guy even got arsey with me when I wouldn't play along. I left telling him to call me when he was ready to make a sensible deal. I doubt he'll be ringing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
