Re: Daft I Call It!
Gosh jambutty, do we only get to name one? (in response to the one about public toilets, while "standing" in fornt of an automatic urinal, I'll see how far I have to lean to get it to flush, while still managing to hold a good aim! )
Okay, I'll just go with my latest: Yesterda, hopped on a horse for a bit of trail-riding. As I haven't ridden in around 10 years, was daft enough to think I could handle a gallop. Well. mid gallop, the horse got spooked by my dog chasing her, she did a bunch of bucking until I was thrown over her head, landing down a hill on mostly my shoulder but also on a bit of me head.
Luckily the field was quite soft and the horse didn't stomp on my face. My friend who was practicing her dressage stuff commented that, as a granddaughter of Secretariat (the triple crown winner), "that horse does get up a pretty quick gallop"!
Yes pretty daft indeed. jambutty, I could have a daft moment of the day the way I go about this here life!

My missis is just like you willow , with her it's her purse, the places we have eventually found it are quite funny, she once 'lost' it with the utility cards in it, searching in the dark is not easy in winter time, the oddest place is in the folds of the open curtains. .

Re: Daft I Call It!
I used to find myself rocking the shopping trolly when my girls were little - I think you just get so used to doing that don't you?

Re: Daft I Call It!
I use my hands to illustrate my point, whilst using the phone.
An example.
Talking to my friends in Scotland about the Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. They were saying that she could use her skills as an actress to control a situation. I disagreed, and said that she wasn't Dame Judi Dench, and her skills as an actress mainly involved doing this......
See I've done it again.
Strange thing is, they know me so well they knew what I was doing.

Re: Daft I Call It!
I always undo my seatbelt when I'm ~1/2 mile from my destination.

Yeah like don't believe that she usually puts a lit cigarette down like she would a pen when she is doing something.
Or don't believe that anything in her kitchen with a label has to be facing forward ( which I very much enjoy turning everything round when I go to hers)

Speaking of which I did try to drive away today in my automatic using both feet .. yep, you got it, wondered why it wouldn't move .. left foot on the brake of course
Oh and tonight in the Co-op wondered why the the assistant disappeared for a while and came back announcing that it was not a winner ? Gave her my lottery ticket instead of £ 10 note.
What bothers me is that there is summat new everyday, no pattern .. excitin' innit ?

Aye Mickmc, that's why it's so daft. I'm always getting told to put it back on by the family. Which I do. Not really sure why I feel that I've got to get it off before reaching my destination. Daft I tell you, completely daft!
