I didn't like to ask........Do we fink ee meens St Andrew's or has he got a burd called Andrea on the side?!
This deserves being put on that other fred about quick responses!... It is rare that it happens but sometimes a long-term spouse/partner/significant other will unwittingly gift you with an opening for a witty response.
Today's chuckle occurred about 2 hours after a discussion regarding where to site a large powder-coated display stand that my brother made some years ago and that has been hidden behind shrubbery (because it was so hideous and not very useful). We had discussed whether I wanted to chop it up and use the steel for bike parts or other projects, whether we should offer it to our next door neighbour, or whether we should stand it out the front at the end of the driveway to let the scrap-man take it.
So, some 2 hours later ( a long disconnect) later she randomly approaches me as I am cutting up scaffold boards and says (out of the blue) "I think I'll take it up the back.".
She looked mystified and a little puzzled when I raised an eyebrow, smiles and said "That's terribly sporting of you old girl, I promise to start off slowly."
Then she realised what she had just said and slapped my arm and told me I was a bad boy.
Just spat me drink out cheers!!! That was the best response. Ever.... It is rare that it happens but sometimes a long-term spouse/partner/significant other will unwittingly gift you with an opening for a witty response.

Will have to get some fibre glass and try and tidy that up later. But first job is to get the light working again as apparently it is not working after being ripped out
My list will never get short, my job here is safe

., Need to look.
Nice one!Not as much as she did
Its all fixable, its not like its flesh and bleeding all over the place
might use it as an opportunity to upgrade the lights as the lamp holders keep popping out and the light stops working. Had to pop 1 back in today before she left. Just need to try and get the same style but in LED. Think they are available as they are a common light cluster so should be available as LED so its a simple swap
