I'd imagine working the streets in this weather servicing glue sniffers all day is probably a little dispiriting. Cut him some slack.

Can I recommend the TomTom HD app for your smartphone? It's amazing for avoiding motorway snarl-ups, I'm on the road a lot and the annual cost for live traffic data (20-30quid) has paid for itself in saved time, evenings not wasted due to exhaustion. I don't work for 'em but it's perhaps the only app on the play store that I can get worked up about.Originally posted by stek View PostLove her to bits, but this is her:
This is me:
Drove 250 miles M3/M25/M40/M42/A42/M1(Chesterfield detour to avoid traffic, epic fail)/M1 again at Markham Vale/Meadowhall for tea cos of traffic/M1 again/M621/home - got to work 07:15, set off at 12:30, home 19:28, still up, watched both Corries, thinking about giving The Ashes another chance in 90 mins, got to take car to Bradford tmrw before 09:00am for service. Wide wake.

If she falls asleep like that and complains of being tired tell her to go to the doctor. Preferably a female one or young male one.
There are common health reasons why women feel more tired than men.
Oh and next time give her red meat not chicken.

I'd imagine working in a Northern brothel servicing truck drivers all day is probably a little knackering. Cut her some slack.

My Missus..
Love her to bits, but this is her:
Drove about 3 miles to work today, ok that's 3 miles EACH way, working day 8.00 till 16:00, no interest in The Ashes, just left her on settee with a cup of green tea (untouched, tho her third), a cup with a heaped spoon of Echter Deutscher Honig (Leeds German Market, half eaten) and a specially made by me Bird's Eye Chicken Burger with Mustard (currently in her left hand, dangling) - and she's asleep with her mouth wide open like a corpse.
This is me:
Drove 250 miles M3/M25/M40/M42/A42/M1(Chesterfield detour to avoid traffic, epic fail)/M1 again at Markham Vale/Meadowhall for tea cos of traffic/M1 again/M621/home - got to work 07:15, set off at 12:30, home 19:28, still up, watched both Corries, thinking about giving The Ashes another chance in 90 mins, got to take car to Bradford tmrw before 09:00am for service. Wide wake.
Cos I'm a bloody bloke.
So; two questions;
1. Shall I go to bed and watch The Ashes on iPad (her iPad, probably no battery) in hope?
and
2. Shall I leave the missus where she is?Tags: None
