Home Truths P = Presenter C = Carol Grand = Mike D = Dave A = Alison

P Howdy and welcome to the programme. Today we're going to hear but what couples actually

think of each other. What drives you lot mad about your partner? Here's Carol, talking about her husband, Mike.

C Well, there are a lot of arguments virtually

** television in our house. He gets the remote control and he's always changing channels, so I never see what 1 want to. All he wants to picket is football, football, football. When I attempt to talk to him, he doesn't mind because he's watching the TV. And... something else... he never remembers anything - birthdays, when nosotros're going out - nothing. I accept to do it all. I decide \yhere we're going on holiday, what automobile to buy. He tin't make a decision to save his life.

P And so there nosotros accept Carol's opinion. What does Mike say most her?

M When nosotros're out in the motorcar and she'southward driving, she doesn't change gears. She'due south talking nearly somebody or other, and not thinking about driving at all. I want to shout at her 'Change gear now!' but I don't. When I desire to watch something on television, like... the news, she always wants to watch a soap or a picture. And another thing. She's ever on the telephone. She spends hours talking to our daughter, and do you know where she lives? Just circular the corner.

P Merely what do they think of their wedlock? Hither's Carol.

C Well, 1 tin can't change him now, so I'll merely have to put up with him.

P And Mike?

Thousand Nosotros've been married for twenty-five years, and she's the only i for me!

P And now we have another couple, Dave and Alison. Oh, and by the way, Dave'due south an electrician.

A What drives me absolutely mad is that he starts a job and never finishes it. At piece of work he'southward and so professional person, but at domicile, if I want a light in the bedroom changed, it takes him months. And he's so untidy. He just drops things on the flooring. I continue saying that I don't want to exist his mother besides every bit his wife. When we go out, he looks and then scruffy, even, when I'm all dressed up. His clothes are and so erstwhile-fashioned. He never throws anything away.

P Oh, beloved. Now what does Dave take to say about Alison?

D Well, she'southward never set up on time. She always finds something to practice that ways we're always late, wherever we become. She'south usually doing her hair or her make-up while I'm saying 'Come on love, it's time to become.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the automobile, she leaves the car keys in the well-nigh stupid places. But what is most annoying about Alison is that she's e'er right!

P And their final opinions about each other?

A He'due south bang-up. He'due south expert fun, and he'southward one in a million.

D Run across? As I said, she'due south always right!

P Then, there nosotros are. My cheers to Carol and Mike, and Dave and Alison.

Hands up, I've got a burger!

Final Tuesday a man armed with just a hot hamburger in a bag stole $1,000 from a bank in Danville, California.

Law Detective Bill McGinnis said that the robber, who was wearing a mask, entered the Mount Diablo National Depository financial institution at about 1.thirty p. m. and gave the teller a note demanding $ 1,000.

Every bit he was running out of the banking concern, he dropped the bag with the hamburger. He escaped in a car that was waiting for him outside.

Todd's world tour

Melbourne was interesting, only, for me, Paris was more interesting than Melbourne, and in some means Dubai was the nearly interesting of all considering it was so different from any other place I know. It was also the hottest, driest, and most mod. Information technology was hot in Melbourne but not every bit hot every bit in Dubai. Dubai was much hotter! Melbourne is much older than Dubai simply not every bit old every bit Paris. Paris was the oldest metropolis I visited, but it has some groovy modern buildings, too. It was the almost romantic place. I loved it.
