My in-laws

Plechazunga · 7th October 2008, 20:33

Decided to buy some garden furniture on ebay this evening. But due to a disastrous lack of communication, she sat in the living room bidding for it, while he sat in his office doing the same thing.

They were the only bidders. By the time she bought it he'd forced her up to three times what she'd have paid if he'd just had a cup of tea instead.

There followed loud and unceasing recriminations from them, equally loud and unceasing laughter from me and my missus. Quality.

What with my genes and theirs, I'd be surprised if our kids ever manage to feed themselves.

I could tell you that, but I can't help feeling the end result would somehow be Richter tracking me down and bumming me in Swedish.
