Club Arnage

Just thought id say hi and try to get an answer for the missus ??? It'll be me second time this year  - with Teamboozentabs - and i'm getting a bit twitchy. The missus cant understand why i'm excited already, and I cant explain it. Any ideas? or should'nt I bother?

A woman just wouldn't understand... (with one or two exceptions, Fran & Kate...!!!)

Aww - thanks smokie  :-*  (I think!!)

It's a woman thing.  They just don't get it.  Don't even try to expain it. Just accept it.

You like when you get the feeling something is wrong.  
So you enquire "What's wrong".
They reply.  "Nothing".  
So you contiue like nothing's wrong and they get even more pissy.

Then there is the toilet seat thing.    When did any bloke ever mention that the seat was down.    Yet you leave the seat up and it's a major problem.

It's just Life.

DB

This is the man who missed last years race because he had to take his knitting exam(claims it was electricians), still he did recieve a phone call at the start, lots of texts and he said he did listen in to radio Le Mans while drinking his shandy with an umbrella in ;D
He also promises to post more messages....

 >:(Cheers Rhino >:( It was actually lace making and not knitting. Besides, im there this year aint I. Managed to get over the explaining to the missus. Made her spend an hour looking at the posts on this site. All seemed to be going well until she said " Is that Michael Shumacher with JP Chenet"? Needless to say, she's banned for good :'(

Oh dear..... this may be a lost cause Jimma... sorry!

 :(

Jim is right rhino, it was  a lace making exam (although he claims it was an electrical part p exam) and he did pass with flying colours.  :D
He has promised to make a lace tablecloth for us this year. Should look lovely until dave spills something unmentionable on it or sets fire to it ;D

...and me!

The way I see it Jimma, is that it is like the shopping thing.  :o Men just do not understand a womans need to shop, which in exactly the same way women do not understand a mans need to enjoy motor sport and strippers and stuff :D ;) ;D

So just tell her it's like a male version of shopping, and she will let you go every year (lace making exams excepted of course  :-* )

 :)motorsport and strippers..mmmmmmm :P

that explains it.......i HATE shopping.........

F

and your stance on strippers is...?  ::)

I am all for em...... take that any way u want!!!  :P  A girl has gotta earn a living.

F

As long as all earning are declared of course!!!!

Surely your'e not suggesting that some people - perhaps those working in the construction industry - dont declare all of their cash work!!  :o

By the way, what do you call a spanish stripper?

Senor Willy

(cue tumbleweed)

Ohh dear.   Jimma - with jokes like that i would have thought the wife would be glad to get rid of you for a few days each year!

F

Fran, i have to work with him, and believe me that is one of his good jokes :D.

As for my wife not understanding Le Mans, she just understands that i go every year and then i spend the rest of the year talking about it ;D.

Oh come on. It wasn't that bad ???

Jimma, I've heard you tell worse ones than that i suppose ;D. Have u put that one birchy told us on the joke thread yet ???.

With regards to people in the construction industry not declaring all cash jobs, i will have some folding for you tuesday, i presume you have the invoice ready ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;).

As long as Black Granny dont find out ;)

Does that mean you can pay the last instalment then ;D

Lookout jim, rhino will be stalking you now :o.

We may be open to cash inducements to look the other way!

as long as I can get tax relief. Gotta claim for everything. Gonna try and put Le Mans trip under "corporate hospitality";) What do ya reckon the chances are?

Depends on how many beers we're offered!

Excuse me but i'm a woman and i know just how you feel, tell her its like having your birthday, christmas and anniversary all at once.

Cheers Cissie. I'll try that one. Your right, is a bit like that, but about half the cost. Dont let her know that though ;)

Helleigh, I'm your new Tarquin, and i DID NOT EXPECT THIS LEVEL OF BICKERING.Pull yourselves together. I've just started a new serial on "obscure" and if you want to hear the next episode you will have to shout louder than those coarse Liverpool boys. :-X

Have I missed something Musty ??? Not sure where you headin'  ???

Sorry, one of those seemed a good idea at the time things, jus trying to make the point that we don't all see things the same way, what is blue to you may be teal to others. Sorry, did it again. :-X

Ahh! now I get ya. Pobably wudda done before if it wasnt for the couple of bottles of Rioja

On that subject, anyone got any pics of the Tarquins, I gotta prove I was there and not with some babe, (as if).

the last time I had a good check (like just now) I was all woman

shame on you Smokie to forget me.

RS2 Babe

 :-* :-*

At last a kindred spirit!  Isn't shopping just the worst, most pointless thing in the world!!!  And what's that chocolate thing all about?  I don't get that either.

Well I must admit to being a recovering chocoholic, clean since 9 March 2005.... ONE DAY AT A TIME!!!!  :)

Congratulations on being clean for so long.   :)  If you feel your resoilve slipping at any time pop round to the Mars factory and watch them pouring sugar down a huge pipe.  That should put you off for life.  If that doesn't work just bear in mind that they also make Pedigree Chum!

I seem to remember you giving the Toblerone Swiss tony provided a bit of a hit !.

t,

Having a few mini Toblerone once a year does not negate my statement.  

The 'chocolate thing' is that whole, 'Oooh I must have chocolate ', 'Chocolate is better than sex', 'Isn't chocolate the most amazing food in the world?'  That's what I don't get.  Oh, and the 'I had a crap day so I went home and ate my way through a whole box of chocolates.'  Frankly I'd rather have vodka, and lots of it.   ;D

My youngest offspring has a recipe for a vodka/chocolate/cherry brandy cocktail, how does that grab you? ::)

WTF?
Now that I can aggree with as long as it's Southern Comfort. ;D

t.

It's not so much grabbing me as making me gag.  The only part of that concoction that I like is the vodka.  Nice try though.  Does youngest offspring have any other cocktail recipes?  

is that from the Helga-House? (http://smile.smilies.nl/368.gif)

I have known Doris for some 15 years. This is not so much a statement, but a life strategy for her.

Steve

You say the sweetest things.    :)

Its true very true ;)

May I suggest that if anyone thinks chocolate is better than sex, then they just aren't doing it right.

chocolate and sex is a weird combination anyway :-\

You should ask Marianne and Mick about that.

t.

Doing it not quite right is better

Glad to see you have learnt and are spreading the word.

Don't know what I've done to deserve all these nice comments though.   :D

Doesn't that depend on whether you are hungry or horny??  :-\

Chocolate is taxable, Sex isn't (yet)

I wondered when you guys would get in on the act.   I notice the operative word "yet".
I spose your work on a breathing tax too!

t.

Reminds me of a Monty Python sketch. I think we should tax thingy.

I can sell the house and send you the money from that too if you need it.

Hmmm so much for Death and Taxes. ???

t

 :( :o And why not fran??  ;D

Just stay away from things with sharp toffee bits in them  :-\

Thorntons Special Toffee Easter Egg  :-* ;) ;D

Was that a chord struck there? and is it taxable, by the way what is the thread at the moment, if there is one ???

Well, the trhead was if she'd understand.
As for my home I can tell you she can't. Her reaction last Sunday as I watched the start of Monza on MotorsTV>>
"Oh look at that, I didn't know there were different type of cars in that race... :-\"
and ten she ran out to go and do the garden...

:-X

Very glad to see that you are doing it right, again, Paddy.

Great stuff, keep on keeping on...

 ;D 8) ;D 8)

bill

Well, I did my fair share in the back garden, with the tv on full blast - and a lot of breaks. Was a bit confusing in the beginning though - no commentry at all :-\

Ah Well, you see the secret is to keep the beer and the TV in the garden shed, were she will never go ;D

didn't know my wife married twice ::)

;)

Maybe you missed the second time Paddy...

Spa - Le Mans - Magny Cours (F1 Shocked) - Woking (McLaren) - Silverstone - Nürburgring

 ;D ;D

Well smokie, that last visit to Magny Cours made me wonder why I even bothered. I paid €140,- for my son and me, and we had 90 minutes of some monotone roar. No way you can tell the difference between a Ferrari and a Minardi, it's all the same (boring and-) deafening sound.

I think it will be a while before I visit a Formula One race again, maybe Monaco one day... ::)

At the risk of invoking wrath, superbikes tend to be less monotonous and to the delight of all, they do fall off, occasionally, with not too many serious injuries, did you see the Laguna Seca GP, now imagine that on Superbikes, amazing, and it sounds terrific.
Cheers, Gerry.

Gerry

In case you've missed it they have run the WSBK at Laguna in past years. Don't know if there is a round there this year. I agree the bikes are far more entertaining than F1.
Tried to attacbh a picture of some decent bikes seen at Le Mans under a Guzzeebo but failed!

I got a picture of a frog ;D
