31. You don't much care about ball games. 83) Your other half starts to wish you did like ball games (or going down the pub more often etc....) 92) Your wife, who previously had no interest in cars whatsoever, actively chooses to watch motorsport on telly, on the grounds that it's 'much more interesting than football'. 92a) ...and you find your Sky+ box randomly filled with retro car documentaries and episodes of Custom My Ride that you don't remember recording. Because she's started finding car programmes for you.
