I wish...
No, I've got to take her to a couple of stupid meetings, arranged at the last minute by a F***wit.
Since she can't drive, I am playing chauffeur for the morning.

Time to teach her to drive, I think

There are a few problems there...She doesn't like "new things" - her phone is a year old now, and she still panics when she has to answer it, or make a call. She also has ... um ... anger problems if things don't work the way she thinks they should. It's bad enough with her swearing and gesticulating as a passenger - as a driver she would get up to ramming speed...

And opposite attract. Does that make you the most chilled person round?

Nah, that's my neighbour.
If he gets any more laid back he'll be horizontal!

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I salute you. And you sleep beside her?
Well, my GF is fascinated with serial killers so I should be the last to speak...

I don't think that's just her. From my experience I would say it is standard issue personality trait, wife, for the use of.

you've described most drivers in the UK, so what's the problem

Ain't that true - last time I went to the UK several drivers actively tried to flatten me while I was crossing the road. And the same instant the semaphore goes green they are already 50 mph, doesn't matter if a person is crossing ahead.
I understand why there are almost no elder people on the streets...

Now there's a change. What you usually do for herself, normally takes max 3 minutes (or so I hear)...

Just saw this commercial.

No one knows what that means.
Not even Johnny Depp.
I guess this is the challenge of telling an audience what something smells like via television.

Big LOL!
That is an incredibly funny analysis of the commercial. You may be right on target with that.

Divesting oneself of the bling and getting back to what really counts, one's inner untamed self, is a running theme in Dior ads going back years to the Brigitte Nielsen ad for J'Adore. It's never been entirely apparent how this stripped down version of yourself is supposed to justify expensive smellies but the whole thing's kind of a riff on the Marilyn Monroe quote about wearing nothing in bed apart from No. 5 from Chanel. So, yeah, Patash is spot on!

Fantastic explanation.
However, I can see you're not a regular here (proven by) :
1. your generic screen name
2. Your awareness of pop culture / style --- we here at CP are geeks and have no awareness of that.

It's just one of those "Nine Commercials of Eight". You would need to watch them all in order to find out what they mean.
You have just been Sharapova'd.

There are two ways to write error-free programs, only the third one works

That can be taken to be funny in a couple ways.

I'm already having doubts about the third!

I also like a good biography, but I tend to read "non computer" people instead.
"If You're Not in Bed by 10, Come Home!" by Martin Bengtsson is worth a read, as is the first half of "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" by Ranulph Fiennes (the second half gets a bit "then I did this, then that" and rather dull - except when he deliberately cuts his fingers off with a saw).
"Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain, and the Stephen Fry bio trilogy are also well worth a read.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try these out.

Yowtch!
Kevin Ashton who wrote How To Fly A Horse is interesting because he's one of the original RFID innovators so he is a technologist but he also writes really well. Maybe he had a ghost-writer or something, not sure, but very readable.
I guess the good writing amazes me since I read a lot of technical docs and they often leave much to be desired.
