Abode Truths P = Presenter C = Ballad K = Mike D = Dave A = Alison

P Hello and welcome to the programme. Today nosotros're going to hear just what couples really

call up of each other. What drives you mad nigh your partner? Hither's Carol, talking most her husband, Mike.

C Well, in that location are a lot of arguments virtually

** television in our house. He gets the remote control and he'south always changing channels, then I never see what ane want to. All he wants to watch is football, football game, football. When I try to talk to him, he doesn't heed considering he'southward watching the TV. And... something else... he never remembers anything - birthdays, when we're going out - nothing. I have to exercise it all. I decide \yhere we're going on holiday, what car to buy. He can't make a decision to save his life.

P And so there we have Carol'southward stance. What does Mike say about her?

M When we're out in the car and she'due south driving, she doesn't modify gears. She'southward talking about somebody or other, and not thinking near driving at all. I want to shout at her 'Change gear now!' only I don't. When I desire to watch something on television receiver, like... the news, she always wants to lookout man a lather or a film. And another matter. She'due south ever on the telephone. She spends hours talking to our daughter, and practise you know where she lives? Simply round the corner.

P But what practise they retrieve of their marriage? Here's Carol.

C Well, 1 can't alter him now, and so I'll just take to put up with him.

P And Mike?

K We've been married for twenty-five years, and she's the only one for me!

P And now we take another couple, Dave and Alison. Oh, and by the style, Dave's an electrician.

A What drives me admittedly mad is that he starts a task and never finishes it. At work he'southward so professional, but at domicile, if I desire a calorie-free in the bedchamber inverse, it takes him months. And he'south so untidy. He just drops things on the floor. I go along saying that I don't want to be his mother besides as his wife. When nosotros go out, he looks so scruffy, even, when I'm all dressed up. His clothes are then old-fashioned. He never throws anything away.

P Oh, honey. Now what does Dave have to say almost Alison?

D Well, she'south never set up on fourth dimension. She always finds something to practice that ways we're always late, wherever we go. She'due south usually doing her hair or her make-upward while I'm maxim 'Come on honey, it's time to go.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the car, she leaves the motorcar keys in the most stupid places. But what is most annoying near Alison is that she's ever correct!

P And their final opinions about each other?

A He'due south great. He's good fun, and he'due south one in a million.

D See? Every bit I said, she'due south always correct!

P And then, there we are. My thanks to Ballad and Mike, and Dave and Alison.

Todd's world tour

Melbourne was interesting, but, for me, Paris was more than interesting than Melbourne, and in some ways Dubai was the almost interesting of all because it was then unlike from whatever other place I know. It was likewise the hottest, driest, and about modern. It was hot in Melbourne simply not equally hot as in Dubai. Dubai was much hotter! Melbourne is much older than Dubai but not as old as Paris. Paris was the oldest urban center I visited, simply it has some bang-up mod buildings, also. It was the most romantic place. I loved information technology.
