I happen to think language is important, which I can see appears pedantic to others. However, communication is a subtle business and we should all reflect on how we come across to others. No offence meant or taken but discussion is what forums are for, I guess.

Nothing against you.

I just don't correct people. But I might take the piss. Because frequently there is a joke in there somewhere. And I do introduce the wife as 'the wife' in real life. It used to wind her up.

Life is too short to be serious all the time. People need to relax and have a laugh. And yes, I am lucky to have been educated to a decent level. But not everybody has been. And also, some people have problems that make it difficult for them to use the English language perfectly. And being pulled up on it can damage their confidence. This is why I always let it go. Other than where there is a joke many won't get.

That is because you are so old that it takes all your effort to get going. Then you don't have the energy to stop.

I wish I could and hope she wets the bed

But unlikely as we rarely sleep together as I work nights

Should've married her sister then!
Otis said:
Exactly the same as my wife then.

I said to her, if we get to the final it's on Monday the 28th May and before I had even got past 'Monday' she cut in and said 'You're not going.'

I knew there wasn't a good reason why I married her.

It's my wife's birthday on Saturday and she was expecting me to take her out for a meal on Saturday evening, when I broke the news to her that I'm going to the match instead, she went ballistic and called me selfish

Did you say, "No love, I have bought you a surprise ticket; just so we can be together."

You can't beat a romantic gesture. :cigar:

Where she comes from (Turkmenistan), the bride's parents expect payment from the groom. So she was no present, Otis. I didn't pay for her, but since she has been in UK we send financial help to her mother every month; in the family we jokingly refer to this as калым which is the payment for a bride.

Oh dear. Didn't you kind of fear that anyway?

Would she not settle for making Sunday her birthday instead?

Just ask to delay it for one day and see if you can treat Sunday as her birthday as a one off (or until City have another big game).

Find a calendar from last year and tell her she's made a mistake and her birthday is on Friday. Take her out on the town and when the clock strikes midnight laugh as you tell her the truth. Can't fail

Either that or put all your clocks way forward so that that you can wake her up at '9 am' on her birthday and spend the entire day with her. Let her go to bed for the night at the end of the day, let her fall asleep and then you can still go to game, as in reality it will really only be about 5pm.
