The wife, red button and stuff

[Hazy]

Amongst the sadness of today, I do have a rather trivial request for advice which did seem rather amusing yesterday but you did really have to be me to appreciate the humour. Anyway I thought i'd ask you fine people a question:

The very lovely Mrs H and I had a minor disagreement yesterday afternoon which managed to sort itself at around 4.30. (We "agreed" I was totally in the wrong)

Now I was of course paying attention to what she was saying regarding how stupid I am and to what level of grovelling would be required before she even considered granting a pardon, but I had an overwhelming urge to hit the red button and check the football scores. Like a true red blooded male with balls of steel I hit the red button only to find that not only were Barrow losing but Man Utd were struggling against a load of naked fat blokes in black and white.

This served to enrage said wife who has dealt cold shoulder thus far. Not even a lovely cooked breakfast could appease her.

So my friends, the question is : How long a break is long enough between the wife talking / dishing out instructions and the checking of football scores via the red button?

Is this one of those quantum mechanics questions?

Having just finished the ironing, after cooking tea, after looking after daughter for the day I would say, don't let yourself be puss* whipped!

Ahhh... it is. It's the cat one, isn't it?

Shrodinger's wotsit - cat in a box/cat dead or alive or dead and alive. Yes, it is.

thats the one I was thinking about, of course if you shake the box you'll know straight away, so you don't tneed to think is it alive or dead.

I usually go into the kitchen and stick 5Live on the radio box, whilst pretending to do something else. not sure i have heard Barrow to often though, it's rare enough for the Alex to get a mention!
