Read in tonights paper of two English supporters who couldn't find their car. They'd parked it OK, even noted the name of the street 'Einbahn Strasse' ....only when they came to look for the street again, they found lots and lots of them.

'Einbahn Strasse = One-way Street

And I heard on the radio this morning about an England supporter getting injured - he hurt himself falling off the statue he climbed whilst "merry" :lol:

Don't laugh, Roger, I did exactly the same thing the first time I drove to Germany in 1970 Trouble was I was driving a VW Beetle - still looking for it :shock: :lol:

I nearly went mad once at (I think) Dusseldorf Airport: it (or whichever one it was) had/has 3 identical multistory car parks in a sort of spoked arrangement, all linked to the passenger terminal. I'd been in a rush to catch the flight, and sprinted from the car.

When I came back, I spent an increasingly irate hour or so becoming convinced my car had been stolen - until I finally realised I was in the wrong car park....

I happened to buy a mini van that was the same model and colour as about a million other people. Mum bought me a small flag to put on the antenna so she would stop waving to strangers

Richard,

Talking about Mum's and Mini vans - my first vehicle was a second-hand, old Mini van. One day I bought a fog and spot light for it which I duly fitted. The next day, my Mum was reversing out of the garage and reversed into my nice new lights, completely destroying them. She marched up to my bedroom, woke me up and said: "Come on, get up - I've just reversed into your van. If you'd been up that wouldn't have happened."

Female logic :? :?

"For example, given the premise, "all fish live underwater" and "all mackerel are fish", my wife will conclude, not that "all mackerel live underwater", but that "if she buys kippers it will not rain", or that "trout live in trees", or even that "I do not love her any more." This she calls "using her intuition". I call it "crap", and it gets me very *irritated* because it is not logical

With acknowledgement to Monty Python - the 'professor of logic' sketch

I'm sure the ladies will respond appropriately... :wink:

Whether it's logical or not doesn't matter, the appropriate response is always the same - "Yes Dear" 8-[ 8-[ 8-[

Perfectly logical. If you'd been up and about, being a bloke, you'd have been purring over your new lights and thus able to yell a warning when your Mum's car threatened.

Works for me. :wink:

Cheers, Alf

One of the most important distinctions to make when being married is the one between 'I don't mind' and 'I don't care'. This is particularly important when discussing such things as curtain fabric, carpets, or anything which you really don't care about but which SWMBO obviously does. Getting this distinction wrong can be quite painful if you are not careful.....

The two words for a happy marriage are 'Yes Dear'
