    We don't have an ironing board now and I haven't a clue where the iron is.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    This could work to your advantage - get a generic one, don't tell her you've got it, and be really put out when she hides the proper one again. Bob's your uncle, fanny's your aunt.

    This is just your wife's way of taking control :)

    I'm feeling so ashamed of myself :( Megatron was hiding down the side of the TV stand. He must have fallen off. In my anger at thinking my beloved wife had hidden Megatron from me, i took a 13 inch carving knife to her childhood teddy bear, Smudge, and cut his head off. Then realising my mistake, i set fire to him to hide the evidence.

    I'm such a bad husband :(

    I fear for the safety of YOUR megatron when your beloved wife finds the remains of Smudge .........she can now claim mitigating circumstances!

    What was the name of that man where they had to find a sliced off organ by the side of the road?

    I should imagine a headless teddy was exhibit 2.

    Sorry, I haven't slept

    She went mental last night when i informed her about the neighbours cat coming through the bedroom window and stealing Smudge. The shockwaves were felt all through Kent. I'm in the clear now, but that cat is !!!!ed when she sees it.

    Say sorry to her and she'll cave in and give the controls back! But if not, Look underneath the sofa maybe!
