    I don't know how posh you are, but i don't have a sock drawer. I have a sock pile.

    I think you might have to untape the DVD, video, TV and Sky remotes.


    It smells wrong. I mean, the Megatron doesn't say "Urban free-wheelers", it says "Sofa masturbaters", you know?
    Megatron is universal, no tape required. He did however take his name from Peep show. That's how long he's been around :(

    Just by the mere mention of "megatron" we were on the same idea. Who says men doesn't have intuition?

    Ours fell off the arm of the chair and into my handbag and I ended up taking it to work! DH wasn't amused, me on the other hand, I was highly amused....:rotfl:

    Megatron? :rotfl: Do all men name their remote controls?!
    It's amusing because you made him suffer. I know his pain, without the remote we are lost. How would you feel if your DH accidently took your hoover to work?

    Oh Spinkz, that did make me laugh! :rotfl: When he worked in an office, I'd have thought he'd lost his mind! Now he works from home, I'd just be pleased that he was maybe going to hoover his office for a change! Got this mental image of him dragging the hoover up the stairs and hiding it in the loft now! :rotfl:

    He wouldn't bother if I hid the remote now. It's connected to the xbox and he just has to shout at the tv to turn it on and off....you need an xbox!

    The thing to do in this situation is to tear the house to bits looking for it. When your wife gets back she will realise that it's all her fault and not make the same mistake again.

    Look in the drawer which contains all the instruction manuals - the ones that men never need!

    Or underneath the sofa.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Given your wife's bizarre eating habits I would be worried that she has consumed it. Looks like its Friday night at A&E for the two of you, a few xrays and an operation. Hopefully she ate it "raw" rather than cooking it.
