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

P How-do-you-do and welcome to the program. Today nosotros're going to hear simply what couples actually

think of each other. What drives you mad almost your partner? Hither's Ballad, talking about her married man, Mike.

C Well, at that place are a lot of arguments about

** television in our house. He gets the remote control and he'due south always changing channels, so I never run across what 1 want to. All he wants to sentry is football, football game, football. When I endeavour to talk to him, he doesn't listen because he's watching the Boob tube. And... something else... he never remembers anything - birthdays, when we're going out - nothing. I accept to do it all. I decide \yhere we're going on holiday, what car to buy. He tin can't brand a conclusion to save his life.

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

M When we're out in the motorcar and she's driving, she doesn't alter gears. She's talking almost somebody or other, and not thinking about driving at all. I want to shout at her 'Change gear now!' just I don't. When I want to watch something on goggle box, like... the news, she ever wants to watch a soap or a film. And another thing. She'south always on the telephone. She spends hours talking to our daughter, and practice y'all know where she lives? Just round the corner.

P Simply what do they think of their marriage? Here's Carol.

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

P And Mike?

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

P And now nosotros accept some other couple, Dave and Alison. Oh, and by the way, Dave's an electrician.

A What drives me absolutely mad is that he starts a job and never finishes it. At piece of work he's so professional, simply at home, if I want a low-cal in the sleeping accommodation changed, it takes him months. And he'south and then untidy. He just drops things on the floor. I keep saying that I don't want to exist his female parent equally well as his married woman. When we go out, he looks then scruffy, even, when I'g all dressed upwardly. His apparel are so sometime-fashioned. He never throws anything away.

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

D Well, she'due south never set on fourth dimension. She always finds something to do that means we're always late, wherever we get. She's unremarkably doing her hair or her make-up while I'chiliad saying 'Come on dear, it's time to go.' And she loses things. She forgets where she parked the auto, she leaves the car keys in the most stupid places. But what is most annoying about Alison is that she'due south always right!

P And their final opinions nearly each other?

A He'southward great. He's expert fun, and he's one in a 1000000.

D See? As I said, she's always right!

P So, there nosotros are. My thanks to Ballad and Mike, and Dave and Alison.

Melbourne was interesting, but, for me, Paris was more than interesting than Melbourne, and in some means Dubai was the about interesting of all because information technology was and so different from whatsoever other place I know. It was also the hottest, driest, and nearly modern. Information technology was hot in Melbourne but not equally hot as in Dubai. Dubai was much hotter! Melbourne is much older than Dubai only not equally former as Paris. Paris was the oldest city I visited, but it has some corking modern buildings, too. It was the virtually romantic place. I loved it.

I've never spoken to him. When he sees me, he says hello, only I don't answer back considering nobody has introduced us. How can I speak to him?

His girlfriend is living with him. I know it's non unusual these days, simply I still don't like it, boys and girls living together and not married.
