Home Truths P = Presenter C = Ballad M = Mike D = Dave A = Alison

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

think of each other. What drives you lot mad about your partner? Here'southward Carol, talking about her hubby, Mike.

C Well, there are a lot of arguments about

** television receiver in our house. He gets the remote control and he'southward ever changing channels, then I never run into what i want to. All he wants to watch is football game, football, football game. When I try to talk to him, he doesn't listen because he'southward watching the Idiot box. And... something else... he never remembers anything - birthdays, when we're going out - nothing. I have to practise it all. I decide \yhere nosotros're going on holiday, what car to purchase. He can't make a decision to relieve his life.

P So there we have Carol'due south opinion. What does Mike say about her?

K When nosotros're out in the car and she's driving, she doesn't alter gears. She's talking about somebody or other, and not thinking about driving at all. I want to shout at her 'Change gear now!' simply I don't. When I want to watch something on television receiver, like... the news, she always wants to spotter a soap or a movie. And another thing. She'south e'er on the phone. She spends hours talking to our daughter, and do y'all know where she lives? But circular the corner.

P But what do they think of their wedlock? Here's Ballad.

C Well, 1 can't modify him now, and then I'll just take to put upwards with him.

P And Mike?

M We've been married for twenty-v years, and she's the only ane for me!

P And now we have another couple, Dave and Alison. Oh, and past the way, Dave'southward an electrician.

A What drives me absolutely mad is that he starts a job and never finishes it. At piece of work he's and then professional, just at habitation, if I want a light in the sleeping room changed, information technology takes him months. And he'southward and so untidy. He simply drops things on the floor. I keep saying that I don't desire to exist his mother as well every bit his married woman. When nosotros go out, he looks then scruffy, even, when I'grand all dressed upwards. His wearing apparel are so one-time-fashioned. He never throws annihilation away.

P Oh, beloved. Now what does Dave have to say about Alison?

D Well, she's never ready on time. She e'er finds something to do that means we're always late, wherever nosotros go. She's unremarkably doing her pilus or her make-upwardly while I'1000 saying 'Come up on love, it's time to go.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the car, she leaves the car keys in the most stupid places. Merely what is nigh abrasive about Alison is that she's always right!

P And their final opinions almost each other?

A He'south great. He'south good fun, and he'southward ane in a million.

D Run into? Every bit I said, she's always right!

P So, there we are. My thanks to Carol and Mike, and Dave and Alison.

Todd'due south world tour

Melbourne was interesting, merely, for me, Paris was more interesting than Melbourne, and in some ways Dubai was the most interesting of all because it was so dissimilar from whatever other identify I know. Information technology was also the hottest, driest, and about modern. It was hot in Melbourne only not as hot as in Dubai. Dubai was much hotter! Melbourne is much older than Dubai but not as old equally Paris. Paris was the oldest city I visited, but it has some great modern buildings, besides. Information technology was the nigh romantic place. I loved it.

Henry opened the door and came into the kitchen. She turned circular to buss him and give him his beer. 'Sit down,' Henry said. 'I've got something to say.' Alice had no idea that in the next 2 minutes her whole life was going to alter.

'I'm sorry,' he said. 'And information technology'southward our anniversary, as well. Simply it's just that Kathy and I are in dear. Bobby won't miss me, he'due south too young.'

She didn't believe her ears. She was in a dream. 'I'll go ready for the party,' she said. She walked into the living room. When she returned, Henry was standing with his back to her, drinking his beer. She was carrying something heavy. He turned. 'What on world... ?' These were Henry Jackson's last words. His wife hit him over the caput.

At first he didn't motility, then he fell to the flooring. Suddenly Alice began to think very clearly. She took the ice statue back to the living room, and phoned the police.

'Oh, thanks, thank y'all,' sobbed Alice. 'Please... stay and have a drinkable. Help yourselves.'

They all had drinks - gin and tonic, whisky - and they all had ice. The statue was now virtually a pool of water on the floor.
