We bought new car last year (2nd hand) - first car we have had with cruise control.
On the way back I demonstrated how it works i.e. foot off the loud pedal
My wife said 'so does it mean you don't have to steer as well ?'4 -
Just remembered another pearl of wisdom
Driving a few years ago in the dark on a duel carriageway - doing 40 in a 50 zone - no other cars on the road - speed camera randomly goes off on the other side of the road
I said 'what happened there, it can't have been our car'
Wife says 'perhaps it was a rabbit that set it off'
Must have been a bloody fast rabbit !!15 -

A mate of mines missus works in a clothing shop.
A guy comes in with cerebral palsy and slightly swaying.
The girl rushes over and shouts excitedly "I love this song too!!" grabs the guys hands and starts dancing with him around the shop!
She was mortified when she found out.

A friend said they were at Nottingham uni. My girlfriend started chatting rubbish so I said "do you even know where Nottingham is?"
"Yes, it's on the way to Bath".

One for all you City folk. 100% true.
Youngest son Joe has worked as a market maker / share trader for a company situated over Canon St station for about 18 years, starting as a blue button.
A few years ago my wife bumped into an old friend she hadn't see for a while who asked how Joe was getting on.
Wife replied " Joe's doing really well, but he only started out as a bluebottle you know"2 -

A girlfriend once asked me whether unicorns were real. She was fairly sure they weren't but just wanted to check.0

A friend of my sister was marrying a girl who said that she wanted to turn up at the church on one! That’d have been enough for me to cancel it.SantaClaus said:A girlfriend once asked me whether unicorns were real. She was fairly sure they weren't but just wanted to check.

I'll be back home for 5 days in December and I'm also looking forward to an 'English Chinese' it's really nothing at all like the stuff they serve here and nice in it's very own way.DA9 said:My gf said a few years back, sitting in the car on the way back from Heathrow after returning from a 10 week business trip, 2 weeks in each of the following cities, Beijing, Singapore, Bangkok, Hong Kong, and various others

Having breakfast yesterday morning, the TV was on and the headline came up 'air strikes on syria'
Her:-
Oh that's a shame does that mean people will have to cancel their holidays?
Bless her!9 -
This came up on yesterday's walk as we saw the City airport.
A few years back we flew from there to Dublin for the weekend, the take off is quite steep and as we banked away I commented to my wife how stunning The Valley looked from up there. Returning on Sunday evening the plane was full of businessmen and we were virtually the only couple on the the flight, we turned on approach when my wife said very loudly. Look Ray we are back over Charltons ground, half the passenger list looked out the window including me to see a huge Nike swoosh, it was Highbury! Cue, much sniggering.....0 -

Me: why?
P: She is always saying I should do stuff.
M: like what?
P: like breast feeding, urgh it is disgusting and isn't natural.0 -

Not stocking heritage carrots in their various hues, one of the chief reasons Dartford's ropy old Co-op went bust, probably.DA9 said:Another classic from my gf, years ago shopping in the old co-op in Dartford town centre, Me: can you grab some of those carrots please? Her: what, the orange ones?

For the embarassingly undereducated out there, carrots naturally occur in a range of colours, Britain's indigenous species included purple, long since replaced by the Romans's inferior orange variants.1 -
