** television receiver in our house. He gets the remote command and he's always changing channels, so I never see what 1 want to. All he wants to sentinel is football, football, football. When I effort to talk to him, he doesn't listen because he's watching the TV. And... something else... he never remembers annihilation - birthdays, when nosotros're going out - nothing. I take to exercise it all. I decide \yhere we're going on holiday, what car to buy. He tin can't make a decision to save his life.

P So in that location we have Carol'south stance. What does Mike say about her?

Grand When we're out in the motorcar and she's driving, she doesn't change gears. She'southward talking about somebody or other, and not thinking near driving at all. I desire to shout at her 'Change gear at present!' merely I don't. When I desire to sentinel something on television, like... the news, she ever wants to watch a soap or a motion picture.

P Just what do they recollect of their marriage? Hither's Carol.

C Well, i can't change him now, so I'll just have to put upward with him.

At work he's and so professional, but at home, if I want a light in the bedroom changed, it takes him months. And he's and so untidy. He just drops things on the floor. I go on saying that I don't want to be his mother also equally his wife. When nosotros get out, he looks then scruffy, even, when I'yard all dressed up. His clothes are so old-fashioned. He never throws anything away.

P Oh, dear. At present what does Dave have to say almost Alison?

D Well, she's never ready on fourth dimension. She ever finds something to do that ways we're always late, wherever we go. She's usually doing her hair or her make-upward while I'm saying 'Come up on love, information technology's time to go.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the car, she leaves the car keys in the most stupid places. But what is most annoying about Alison is that she's ever correct!

P And their terminal opinions most each other?

A He's keen. He's good fun, and he's one in a million.

D See? As I said, she's always correct!

Todd's world tour

Melbourne was interesting, but, for me, Paris was more interesting than Melbourne, and in some means Dubai was the nearly interesting of all because it was then different from whatsoever other place I know.
