"I see the neighbours are back". They spend half the year abroad.

"Are they? I hadn't noticed".

"I see they have got a tree-surgeon in next door".

"Have they? I hadn't noticed".

'I see that No.7 have got a new car".

"Have they? I hadn't noticed".

"You don't notice anything!"

"That's because it's none of my business - coupled with the fact, I don't care". You are just nosey".

"Not nosey; just observant".

It is an argument I am never going to win.



Then serendipity.

Crashing through the forests this morning, I stumble across this metal sign. It has (obviously) fallen off a tree, and has laid on the forest floor for Lord knows. I take it home and clean it up.

I then 'hide' it behind the curtains in the living room, on the window sill. It will be the first thing my wife sees this morning, when she comes downstairs and opens the windows.

I know it's childish - but it is making me giggle...

You certainly know how to live on the edge S62:oops::popcorn:
 
My mother-in-law would sit all day in her armchair watching out of the front window and commenting on the comings and goings of her neighbours. One day when we were visiting she complained that the gardener had missed cutting part of her hedge and that it was obstructing part of her view, she asked me to trim the offending section of hedge and I reluctantly obliged.
When I came back into the lounge having completed the task I said "it's no everyone that can claim that they've trimmed their mother-in-law's bush".
It went right over mother-in-law's head but I thought my wife and daughter were going to wet themselves laughing.
 
I always find the following phrase useful
‘ We have had this conversation before…’
Best used behind some form of cover from incoming fire
 
A man goes to confession.
"Father, I keep hearing a voice telling me what to do. Am I possessed?"
"No, my son. You're married."
