hinge and bracket

[hamster]

Mrs h just brought my morning cuppa. As she slid back under the duvet, mindful not to knock my cup holding arm, she casually told me that I needed to fit a new hinge to the lounge curtain track as it was coming away from the wall.

 

"i think you mean a new bracket" I said, trying desperately to contain a laugh.

 

"whatever, just fix it" was the best she could come up with. So I released the laugh right in her pretty little face.

 

My question is; why are women so stupid?

The Missus this morning asked me why I was looking at getting the Car Valeted when I don't look after it. Am I the only one seeing the irony in her statement?

Oh I thought this was going to be a thread about that old "comedy" prog from years ago.

I really disliked that prog but my mother loved to watch it so I avoided visiting when it was on.

The missus said, upon us driving to andover.

 

It takes about 30 mins to get there, but you could probably do it in half an hour.

I love these types of stories.

 

Many years ago when we were living in Surrey, we were driving down the A23 beside Gatwick Airport as a plane was passing over us at about 100 feet. My wife looked up and said, in all innocence, "Don't they come in low when they land?"

Hamster, were you deliberately making a reference to the Hinge and Bracket show, which no-one ever remembers and has never been repeated, ever, coz it was ****e? Somewhere between The Black and White Minstrel Show, The Goodies, It's a Knockout, The Two Ronnies, Terry and June and Dr Who, but much worse than any of those?

[hamster]

Yes, but the conversation really did take place and h & b were and still are v funny.

I got dragged to the mayflower to see hinge and bracket, they were genuinely abysmal. It probably didnt help that they were playing to a virtually empty house, (and I cant blame the stayaways,) but they really were hopeless. I think they were hamming up the importance of being ernest but I could be wrong. Whatever it was it was dreadful.

Driving down the avenue behind a security van, there was a sign in the back that read

 

"Police follow this van"

 

My wife turned to me and said.... "What if the police don't notice the sign, how do they know to follow it"

"It takes longer for me to get to your house that it does for you to get to my house"

 

um

"It takes longer for me to get to your house that it does for you to get to my house"

In HMV, the Mrs turns to me and says "they don't live in Southampton"

 

to which i replied, "what do you mean"

 

"they don't live in Southampton....Bon Jovi, Elton John, Coldplay.....!!!"

 

"Thats LIVE in southampton not live"

 

All the bands had recently played a gig in our fair city.

My wife once gave me one of those coolmints. I said "Are these the things that give you the sh1ts if you eat too many?" "no", she said "but they are a laxative"

My gf recently asked me to do the dishes, so I gave her a black eye. It was hilarious!
