    while we're on the subject of boring women to death, i was on the heath yesterday, and atop parliament hill found a chap flying a kite way higher then he should. so i wandered over to him and asked him what his line length was (ooer missus!). he had a giant reel of line (yikes!) and so i wasn't too surprised when he told me the kite was currently 700m out. i mentioned that i thought there was a height limit on flying kites and an old chap on a mobility scooter next to him cheerily chimed in that oh yes it was 500ft, and that we were already 300ft up. which meant that the kite was near enough 2400ft up. apparently he used to be a pilot and had once tangled with a kite at that altitude. and then the flyer told me he had 1.5km of line in total. fucking a!

    anyhoo we nattered on at length about kites and then i remembered i was with the wife so rejoined her and started to relate the conversation i'd just had. i was probably 2 sentences in when, she just stopped and looked at me and said firmly "BORING!".

    and walked off. women, eh?
