    The classic for me was several years ago. Angharad had just left to go out but came back after a few minutes with a very sheepish / worried look on her face.

    "I hit something with the car" she whimpered.

    "Argh ... what?" says I, thinking the worse (ie. damage to the car).

    "The other car !"

    Yes, she had managed to hit my company car with our car and put a scratch down both of them. The silver one had a green scrape and the green one had a silver scrape (and dent).

    She is now leaning over my shoulder as I type this saying "tell them we lived in a narrow street and I had to reverse down a small gap"

    So, the moral of the story is (apart from take the keys off her NOW) ... however bad you think things are at first, give it time - it will probably be much worse when the whole story unfolds.

    Well, for me it was shortly after when Kate and I just bought our house.

    I, of course, had certain ideas about what to do (being the construction guy that I am), and when I mentioned a certain idea about decks and handrails, she said "no, no, no, no, NO!"

    LOL

    I have now learned my proper place in the scheme of humanity.

    OK lets just tell everyone that this happened about 8 YEARS ago and Simon is still bleating on about it - it is the ONLY time I have ever bumped the car and the scratch was SMALL and was POLISHED out.

    Simon has a flare for the exaggeration

    At least I have never ran out of petrol on the moterway and had to walk miles back to the petrol station - I can read a dial

    hey !

    You know that the dial was faulty ...

    And it's funny how things "polish out" if the polish is identically colored spray paint isn't it ?!?!?

    Craig-spell-check: that's "flair,", not "flare."

    Unless, of course, you're implying that Simon has a bit of a preoccupation with incendiary devices.

    As for women smashing up cars...I'll leave it up to Kate to do her proper confession.

    Honey -- -(sheepishly) I have had a little accident - but I am OK - ---

    I keep a supply of rockets in the pantry to send up whenever I'm exaggurating

    To be fair, Angharad is a very good driver and has never had an accident. I always feel safe when she is driving.

    I must admit my wife is careful and it is me that is aggressive when driving - especialyy on Interstate 70 - or the M6 between Birmingham and Carlisle come to think of it - and joining the M60 around the concrete tunnels -well lets not go there!

    one day, perhaps when they again start printing books in the UK, certain people will learn how to use a dictionary.
