I would watch this film but pull a face when the phrase "wreathed in smiles" was uttered

Bingo
Did you type the thread out in an email message then copy it over
Guilty, being aware that I was the butt of the situation, I wanted to see how it would look first.
Had I composed it in the normal way, being a klutz, I’d have hit “post reply” rather than preview.
Young wife humblebrag
Mmm, younger perhaps, and having witnessed her red haired flashes of temper, I’m not about to brag on her.
See above.
Close, try a fourth time.
So it wasn't that much of an embarrassing mistake, you are actually plenty old enough to be your wifes father.
Not plenty, but certainly old enough.
Do we think OP is rich, charming, or gorgeous? Can only be 1 of the 3, and if he's a dwarf then only the first one according to that other thread.
I asked the expert.
“Nick, am I rich, charming, or gorgeous, and am I height challenged?”
She replied, “Well, you’re of normal height, you were cake-o when we met, and we’re comfortable now, you were also charming, still are, but gorgeous? you’re not bad for your age, but I wouldn’t say gorgeous.”

By Jove I think he’s practically got it!
The receptionist assumed that because my wife’s surname is the same unusual name as mine, that the grey haired guy that she’d seen the week before, (me), was the father of the woman talking to her at reception.
So who's banging who then? Where does the secretary fall in to all of this?
I'm so confused right now
I think Jean and the dentist are at it, but we won't know for sure until next weeks episode.

I have nothing to say.

The dentist in question is a gentleman, a stand up guy, a Sikh, complete with turban, I admire the hell out of him, but in the romance stakes, he’s not my type at all.

Possibly because you’re replying to the wrong thread, no secretaries in this one.
Two receptionists though, one an absolute knockout, but at my age that ship has sailed, dommage!

Tbf at 19 years older you are easily old enough to be her dad a couple more years and you'd qualify for grandad.

In the library, with the butler.
Let's all be confused!

Started slow, picked up towards the middle and great ending. Can’t wait for the illustrated version 7/10 would read again.
Took me a while to understand, thought it was meant to lead to a punchline 
Reminds me of the time when I was in primary school and a friend said that my granddad had gone into her family's shop. I assured her, it wasn't my grandad, that non of my grandparents were alive. She was adamant and described him, to which I confirmed it definitely wasn't my grandad, it was my dad. She was a bit mortified lol (my dad was 16 years older than my mum so people assumed incorrectly quite a bit!)
On a separate occasion when I was older a friend told me they had seen my dad with another woman and they were sure my dad was having an affair. Turns out they had seen my uncle who looked like a slimmer version of my dad and lived just around the corner from us

Film = watched
Putting my retired Black Cab driver’s hat on, and playing devil’s advocate here Skidder, I doubt that the guy even thought that he was possibly insulting you.
I rarely worked later than 20.30 to 21.00, and I almost never struck up a conversation with the job in the back at any time of the day, a simple “How’s it going?” can be seen as fighting talk to someone half cut.
You said that it was after a night out, so it was no doubt dark, flicking your eyes to the rear view mirror will only show you a dim scene in the passenger compartment at night.
It may have been something that you or your friend said, which was misconstrued, or maybe how one of you were dressed that gave the driver reason to think that you two were father and son.
I doubt that he thought that he was jeopardising his tip either, a real taxi driver doesn’t care, he’d like a tip, but life goes on whether you tip or not, there’s always another job around the corner, looking for a yellow TAXI light.
