Must be a thing that none of them know what the f**k a town is. ETA: I know Killearn isnt that near these places but when you're from North everything south of Perth is nearby. You've spelt "bollocks" wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylf Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Expect to be striking a chord here. Mrs B never wants to drive but insists on telling me which lane I should be in. I’ve driven further than her in reverse!in reverse! . my mate always says about other drivers he’s spilled more diesel on his boots [emoji23][emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Sweet Pete said: I actually think that would (in her mind) confirm her as correct. If she thinks the district is called Alexandria and the town called the Vale of Leven her rationale would be "they called the team after the town" rather than the team having been named after the district, as it actually was. I'm not letting this go. I'm going to order some maps online and leave them dotted around the house conveniently open on the Vale. Knowing her as I do though, it'll all be my fault. Get her to explain why the Vale of Leven Hospital is in Alexandria. NHSGGC : Vale of Leven Hospital 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s making the classic man-mistake of trying to bring cold, hard facts into a dispute with his better half. That sort of behaviour is only going to make her angry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of behaviour is only going to make her angry. That is EXACTLY what happened. I am now in the hinterland of being desperate to prove that she's actively insane using irrefutable evidence and wanting to avoid doing just that because I know full well the precise argument and blame cycle that will follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect that at some point in the next few days, you're getting the fucking bollocking of a lifetime for some utterly trivial shit. Leaving the toilet seat up or something. This is the punishment that awaits you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punishment for asking a genuine question, then presenting her with evidence and expressing surprise at her mistake and then attempting to laught the situation off. She's still convinced I'm wrong and the town is indeed called Vale of Leven FYI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 20 hours ago, mathematics said: Pete that’s eerily similar to Mrs Mathematics putting Glasgow as the city in her address, because “bishopbriggs isn’t a city”. I was discussing the various things that were opening up in West Dunbartonshire to my boss yesterday and he said "How is all that stuff opening up when Glasgow is still in level 3?", when I informed him that West Dunbartonshire was not part of Glasgow his reply was "How? It's got a G post code". It would appear nobody in Scotland actually knows where the f**k they're from. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
