Often - but most embarrassingly its when I say what I thought I was only thinking and I realise I've said it out loud for all to hear!!

I'm always putting my foot in it but I can't remember anything funny I've said to add on here. Oh well dizzy as usual!

We were out shopping this am, and I reckon a woman could have bitten her tongue off what she said to us.
My OH does look young, he was buying some indoor slipper, and a woman who we know by sight said to me. What a lovely son you have.
I said thats my husband,

I was not annoyed, but she did not know what to do. I said to OH, I either look really old, or she thinks you are a mother's boy, gay, or not quite with it.
Good job I can laugh at this, we are both in our 70's.

Perhaps I should have said to her 'Next time go to to Specsavers'

When I lived in Southsea, the bus stop was outside an inn in Fawcett Road.
The first time I caught the bus, it was fine going into town. Coming back, the driver asked 'How far?' Without thinking, I just said 'Oh, Fawcett Inn please'.
He smirked, I blushed and I immediately started pronouncing the pub the way the locals did - the Fossett Inn!!

Having had the usual problems with banks I had moved all my transactions to another bank but still kept the old account going.The old bank was evidently drumming up business,rang me to ask what I thought of their service and in my haughtiest grandeur my mouth was heard to utter"Well I don't really bark with Bankleys anymore!"GODDAMMIT!

My Mum is well-known for this sort of thing, lol!

She has a tendency to mis-pronounce car manufacturers. Many years ago my cousin got a good job, with a company car which he could choose for himself. Mum came in and announced to the world that 'Colin's got a new Vulva' :-))

When my late father lived with me, and came out shopping, I always used to say 'Got the Bag Dad'

He always laughed, wonder what people would make of it today, with the trouble in Iraq.

I haven't but OH once insisted she wanted an ice cream on a day out in Stratford, with instructions as to what I wanted she decided that it would be Mivi for me and a 99 cone with a flake for her....whilst I looked after the dog she waited patiently in a fairly long queue and ultimately returned empty handed and with a red face...'wheres the ice creams' I asked ' dont' she replied 'I have just asked for a Strawberry Mivi and a 69....the man just laughed at me'
