women & the strange things they say - gotta love them

Postby greenwoo » Tue Jan 22, 2019 12:41 pm

Soooo.
I got home from work yesterday and after the usual pleasantries Mrs G asked if i'd heard about Glen Johnson ( a footballer for the less sporty among us ).

What about him i enquired?

''He's dead, died today...I wondered if you'd heard of him as i haven't''

'Whaaaaaat? He'd only be early 30's ...bloody hell makes you think, poor sod. What'd he die of?''

''They said that he'd had a stroke'

'Bloody hell, a fit footballer - a stroke, Jesus....'

Later that evening i looked at my NewsFeed.....and was a bit pissed off that the new all singing Huawei phone hadn't yet recognized that it should be populated with the latest footie news. There wasn't a whiff of the passing of an ex-england International. I cursed the Chinese for their faulty algorithm that seemingly was stopping me getting my sports news....and vowed to boycott the local takeaway in protest.

A few hours later whilst i listened to some drivel on the telly i resolved to find out more detail about his passing.

I have a love hate relationship with Wikipedia, given that any moron can seemingly create erroneous 'facts', so i spit my dummy out when i read that 'Glen Johnson born 1974 - retired 2019'
'Fucking retired'' i roared, that's like the Monty Python Parrot sketch;
''He is deceased, he is no more, he's dead''
RETIRED i screamed, he's not fecking retired he's dead, what frigging asswipe wrote this page......

A further look down the google entries showed similar errors.....'retired 2019'

WTF......a conspiracy?

Nope.......Mrs G had got it wrong....slightly wrong.
Seems he'd retired from STOKE

'oh, well, i wasn't paying that much attention, still, least he's still alive then'.....

Bet she wouldn't have been so blasé if it had been one of the cast from 'Made in Chelsea/essex'.

Nice one Mark,

I also have to endure some classic stuff that my wife says, my fav one is below, but every day she can come with something new and funny

My Wife comes out with the most random comments, and I just have to share a couple with you lot :)
she also has to add as may words into the conversation, that makes my yes or no, seem quite funny to me
Also, she can have different conversations, while in other conversation, that when you try and analyse the conversation, your head hurts


A while ago

(Pete) a friend of ours is a dustbin lorry driver, and it was bin day, and I was out the front working on my cars
A while later she comes, and asks if I saw Pete

Me) no.
She) was he driving, bla bla bla
me) I didn't see him.
she) did you see who was driving, bla bla bla
me) no I didn't, and if I had I would of known if it was Pete.
she) did you look, bla bla bla
me) yes.

This conversation went on for 10 minutes, until I shouted at her "I DIDNT SEE PETE, AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ASK SO MANY FUCKING RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS "
She) your being rude
me) yes

That concluded the conversation for a couple of hours

Until she came outside, and said
Ive just remembered, he's in spain this week

me) hahahahahahahahaha
she) your being rude
me) hahahahaha yes hahahaha

still my fav one!

steve
Thats was probably spelt wrong, or had some grammer, that the "grammer police have to have a moan at
