    ....and please don't flame me for going to the piccies after my dad's funeral, I'd had a fair bit of wine and didn't want to drink myself up in grief so needed a diversion. Unlike my bro who got absolutely sh*tfaced.

    I say good on you, it's good to do something like that after the funeral of a close relative.

    When my dad died there was about 400 of us went back to the pub where we had a singer on all afternoon and night. The singer in question is quite good but everything sounds like Neil Diamond singing and dad always said that if he died before this particular singer then he had to sing after the funeral (in my dads words) "So every other begger can suffer" :D

    It's strange to say but people still say it's one of the best nights out they've had.

  • My mother always used to say 'it's too late to say sorry now' after I apologised for some wrong doing. :question: :rotfl:

  • Well mine is my OH keep asking me which vinyl we chose for our kitchen. We stood in the shop today and after narrowing it down to a choice of two colours chose a silvery grey colour. We had a long discussion about which one would look best and which would show the dirt more etc etc.

    He must have asked me about 8 times since which one we chose, which is worrying because he has to go into the shop to actually order and pay for it. If I had gone in by myself and chosen it, I could understand it but we chose it together. I think I had better go back to the shop with him or goodness knows what he will order.

    So in answer to the OP mine is "which colour vinyl did we choose?"


    I have a husband like that too.He made a desk in my son's bedroom, all the furniture was in Beech.We wanted a long table/desk, so worktop was the answer.I told him to get Beech he came back with Ash :rotfl:.When I told him it was wrong he said "well it's cut now".That was really annoying.The moral is if you want it right, go yourself;)

    Anything truthman007 says on this Board?
  • Last weekend my OH told me she had worked in a hair salon previously for 4 yrs, hense I give her my blessing for the inevitable short back and sides to save a few quid. Only upon inspection of the CHUNKS that had been removed did she inform me that she only swept the floor in there!!!!!! yours regretably, collander head lookalike.

  • ooh my favourite one, "Man" Running to catch the train but is too late & misses it
    "Women to man" Oh Dear Have you just missed your train?"
    "Man" No I was just chasing it out of the train station" :p

    My Brother will always say this when someone says something really stupid " I cant believe I actually have to share my oxygen with you", it cracks me every single time

    I have one more

    The other day the phone rang and I was too late to pick it up

    My dad came downstairs and the conversation went something like this:

    Dad: "who was that?"
    Me: "not sure dad, I was too late to pick up the phone"
    Dad: "Ok... but who was it?"
    Me: "I don't know Dad, try 1471"

    Dad does 1471, doesnt recognise the number

    Me: "I don't recgonise the number"
    Dad: "me neither. who is it?"
    Me: "..............:mad:"
