Just let me explode..........

No I don't feel bad. The late MrG used to drive me nuts on occasion too. Just saying.....

Sorry ladies I have just come in from childminding and have only read the OP so if my response is totally out of place now I do apologise. You could have been writing about my OH Mishap I dread having any new technology for that very reason.

thatbags indeed Apple, Apple, Apple. Take it out of the box and switch it on. Hurrah. to you mishap. You deserve to explode from time to time and gransnet is just the place for it.

What are you doing with my husband Mishap ? I never use the computer unless he is here, because I never know what he will have done to it now!!! Now and again he suggests that I should go to computer lessons, but I know there's no point - he would just contradict everything I was taught and I'd end up more confused than ever.

A s a widow. I have learnt to mainly do on my own! Gary (the Gardner) is great with helping me with things like meter reading (physically impossible for me) and doing any heavy lifting etc. he's also good at putting things like electricity bills into comprehensible English for me!
I'm trying to do things on my own as much as I can but sometimes it does get on top of one!
On the whole though I manage!

Speaking as a divorced singleton all your stories only go to remind me why I don't miss him and why I love being on my own ! I can do just as I like and any mistakes I make are my own (though being a woman I don't make many !!)

I do think we should try role reversal every so often in an unequal marriage. I did absolutely everything beforeDH retired. Now he does all the finances ,car related rubbish,and I make a point of not being around when window cleaners and tradesmen need paying so he now is appalled to know that someone has to make sure a cheque is written or money is in the house. I haven't got as far as the utility room yet but he hasn't been retired that long and we do bicker over the groceries. The washing machine next year.

tiggy me too.

absent

Does anyone watch that sketch in The Ginger, The Geordie and The Geek where they try to understand women?

Me too tiggy and anno a lot to be said for living alone when I hear the exasperated tales from married friends.

Tegan I love that show

harrigran; thank goodness..I thought I was the only person in the country watching it. It's the funniest thing I've seen for years. It makes me cry with laughter.

I am with you tiggy, anno and maniac. I enjoy these stories and love a good laugh, yours really set me off absent.

I love the sketch where the nuns stamp sinner on the forehead. The chap on the bus with the ipod especially, oh how I long to do that sometimes

Supposedly they've been appearing at The Fringe for years. Wish I'd seen them there. Remind me of early Harry Enfield. The ventriloquist dummie one I find strangely fascinating albeit a tad creepy. Love the tooth fairy and Santa.

Wish I had known about them earlier. To see a Geordie in a tutu is such a laugh, most men up here would run a million miles rather than be seen like this.
