SWMBO is pretty Strange!

[jonesfam]

My SWMBO is a fairly strange creature.
She must have far to much time on her hands with only 5 kids, 2 dogs, 12 chooks, 2 rooster & I've lost count of the cats to look after.


Anyway, she often comes up with strange, weird & wonderful ideas which usually make me pour another wine & think "Where the hell did that come from"?


But, I must admit that one of her newer ideas may have some merit.
Bare in mind that I (nor she) are designers or engineers or in any way have much technical knowledge.
What she has come up with is full sized furniture that works a lot like Leggo!
So, you buy a kit which can be a table & chairs or a dresser & chair or a wardrobe or a study desk & chair or whatever.
You could have mixed blocks to make what ever you like, several kits which are based on the room to furnished like a lounge room kit that goes together in different ways to make the 1 kit look different & changeable.
You could even have blocks coloured differently on each side so the furniture would be a different colour depending on which way around you put the block.


Probably a really dumb idea but I thought it might be a OK.


Now someone will tell me Ikea already do this?:(

PS SWMBO also restarts conversations 3 weeks after I thought they were finished & expects me to know what the hell she is on about.

That's actually a bloody good idea

[The ho har's]

I am pretty sure it has been done. My daughter posted something on Facebook along those lines. Sorry to disappoint you :(

Found it.....

ideas , such as this have been on some of the home design shows esp. those that focus on maximizing the use of small spaces. really have me thinking now that we have decided being inner city flat is nicer than the suburban house.

Both my dad and my GF refuse to put the hand brake on if it's not an Everest-ian type slope.
It annoys me to the point, I may actually be legitimately OCD about it.
Three guesses who doesn't get to drive my car :D

[superquag]

.... Mum, Dad...and the dog ?


:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

... Lemme see, you've been married for how long, and you've only just noticed ?

Mum - won't drive it, 'too agricultural'
Dad - Nissan person, manages to break something on it every time he drives it.
GF - tried to roll it on her driveway
Dog - more interested in chewing things
FIL - Toyota person
MIL - left the handbrake off their mazda, sent it downhill.

No one drives my car :nazilock::angrylock: :angel:

Another mess with your mind trick my missus has is to start one conversation then change tack with out any warning at all, then switch back to the first as if nothing has happened. Then gets annoyed because you have lost the plot.

....never Brian.....it'll never happen.

Many years ago an old bushy mate of mine (nickname Trucker, abbreviated from truckers guts....no , I have no idea how the name came) and me , were leaning on a gate chewing a bit of grass( no , not the hallucinatory stuff , just grass...like you do out bush) and somehow the convo turned to women/wives and he paused and said to me....." funny cattle mate.....funny cattle"

That just sums it up Brian.....I'll never forget it.

Your Dad, being a Nissan man, might learn to put the handbrake on if he ever hires a Nissan Pulsar. We recently hired one in Tassie. On a slope, when the parking pawl in the transmission was loaded, it was extremely difficult to get out of park. The handbrake seemed to have some give and the car would always roll just enough to load the pawl.

I used to have the same problem with my '55 Jag until the gearbox was modified to allow one to select forward or reverse and move forward or backward enough to unload the pawl and allow it to spring free.

I have to laugh, as when I drive his car I'm fairly vigorous with my application of the hand brake, to which he always makes mention of it not being a land rover hand brake and not requiring such effort.
Irony of the situation is his hand brake slips on hills, yet mine doesn't :D
