In which the Shah is a Xenophobe

It is Monday morning.  The Shah is getting into his suit, ready for another long week at the office.

As I walk into the bedroom, he is huffing and puffing and fiddling with his belt.




Me:  What's the matter?
Shah: (irritated) bloody Americans!
Me: WTF?
Shah:  This is the belt I bought in New York.  It's the wrong way round.  I like the buckle on the other side.  Bloody Americans...
Me:  Erm, so you could just take it out and put it through the belt straps from the other side...
Shah: (dumbfounded)  Whaat?
Me:  (Demonstrates)  Like this?
Shah:  I knew that....

  3. He's obviously a 'big picture' guy where the details are supposed to take care of themselves. :)

    1. That must have been the problem then. Not just rank stupidity?

  7. You guys are worthy of your own blockbuster reality show! Actually I hate to say it but those are the kinds of comments I make, I have to be the least practical person you will ever meet. Also very cool photo of the hubs in action - is that your photoshopping?

  8. I can't even begin to imagine the horrors of being in our own reality show. Or the amount of editing necessary! Sadly the image is not of the Shah - just bought off the Internet!

  9. Oh dear the poor guy. Must be the English weather not agreeing with him after all that time away! Can't imagine what it's like to have him under your feet again - well, I can now! I used to tell my (ex-) husband that he was lucky I only expected to be treated as an equal, considering I was actually superior! Familiar? Love your new look. Are you on Twitter? X

  10. Nice of you to feel sorry for him Anya, but you'll be in a minority! I've just about got used to having him arou d again but having to share a bathroom with him once more is a total pain. I'm on Twitter as @curryqueen101. Where can I find you? X
