Just stumbled over this headline in an advertisement. Should I post this in the 'financial' forum?

"Its a perfect time to invest in a Solar system!"

"Where's my shirt darling?"
"It's in the lolly"

Ok, I need to think about this.

I once asked my wife why one of her sisters was named dog.
Not have sister name dog was the instant and irritable reply. Sirry iriot was unspoken but inferred.
Her name is Mar and Mar means dog I responded.
Not Mar, Mar, came the even more irritable reply.
Oh of course, was the best I could come up with.

Ah yes, the good old, not mar, mar. And not ton, ton! Silly me, I should know better.

And then there's that old chestnut, trying to produce place names according to the phonetic spelling on road signs, as determined by the MoFA. We once drove for several hours whilst debating the finer points of how to pronounce the name, Bhumibol. The first hour was spent with me trying to describe where and what it is because despite repeated attempts the poor girl just didn't understand. Phonetically speaking Bhumibol should be pronounced, well, Bhumibol. In practise, so Mrs CM claims, it's actually pronounced brrmoilkepjusds. Despite many attempts I couldn't get there, the closest came was when I cleared my throat and spat phlegm into a brown paper bag.......that's it she cried happily, as if the coin had finally dropped with me. I imagine this is what life must be like for English people who live in Wales.

Apparently it was in the laundry.
