Why I love my wife - an evening on the A528

Great story Ed!

Could have just called the breakdown recovery though...

There's going to be a weekend lesson on how to change a wheel. And on how to bump start a car, and on 'yes I know that jump leads look untidy in the boot but they're there in acese of emergency'

As re copper grease, yes - but KwikFit replaced all the tyres not long back, not me

I can laugh about it all now, but last night I was not happy...

I wrap them round the spare wheel in and the carpet sits down flush on top of them. The wife doesn't even know they are there and that way they say where they are. She too would take them out and throw them in the garage if they got in the way of her shopping.

Oh Ralph, you sweetie...

It is because of darling little men like you that nice women like me do not have to get our hands dirty. All we have to do is put on a nice frock, flutter our eye lashes and you lot will, build ships, mine coal, lay motorways, fight wars, fix computers, clean up the cat pooh, walk the dog and pay for the meal.

We know that some of you boys are so insecure in your masculinity that you need a woman to be needful of your strength. Now be a good boy and the nice lady may even give you a little kiss on the cheek to make you blush like a school boy!

One thing I have found in my circle of girlfriends, if you find a woman who can use an angle grinder and a workshop of power tools, it is unlikely she is going to be interested in guys... Trust me My Lass has a full Snap on tool kit from when she first git interested in bikes. She also built her own computer before she bought the Mac. I love my Girlfriend, she is awesome and she can fix my bike when it breaks down. I just put on a nice frock, flutter my eye lashes at her... you get the picture

Yeah but she has a mac.....

This has to be a lie. Ed says he has hair in there

It's not about women. The mistake was yours Ed. You believed the diagnosis of someone not qualified to give it. I get this all the time from junior staff as well as gf and kids etc - basically jumping to conclusions. Muppet's Razor - the first thing that springs to mind must be true

So I've got into the habit of always getting them to describe the symptoms and circumstances instead of believing their diagnosis at face value. Good job I'm not trying to be popular

But the story was great

When's the funeral?

That's just one of those days isn't it!

Ed, well done for being the hero and not losing your temper. Perhaps it's worth investing in one of these ready for next time.
