WOFTER- waste of f##king time, energy & resourses.

I spoke (by email) to our lord & master not that long ago, (that's Jim for those who don't know). I showed him my rather large collection of toys. These range from a beetle & a kombi the size of a cigarette filter, to a 3 dimensional cardboard kombi rougly 2/3 the size of the real thing.

In the course of these emails I mentioned, that because I had just won 32 more models off ebay, I may need another cabinet. This is where my problems began.

To follow this you must know the set up of the house. Upstairs is the standard 3 bedroom house. Downstairs is a laundry & a touse & one room half the size of the entire upstairs, set up as a 2nd loungeroom. This is my domain. The ornaments are VW, the pictures are VW, the wall clocks are VW, even the magnets on the bar fridge.

Anyway, having found & won the ideal cabinet for the job, my wife decided it would be better off upstairs. So I pull apart the entertainment unit upstairs, lug it downstairs & replace it with MY newly aquired purchase. The big TV doesn't fit on it, lug it downstairs, & we are back to one of the portables.
The cabinet can fit in any nook of the loungeroom, arranging the lounges to accomodate said cabinet was an entirely different prospect. No matter which way you went it made the loungeroom look smaller. Not to mention the kids compaining not beiong able to play the xbox properly with a small telly.

Yesterday, while the wife was at work, I lugged the entertainment unit back upstairs, put it back together, lugged the big telly back up, lugged MY cabint back down & put the whole lot back together the way it was.

AND GUESS WHAT------- IT WORKS.


The moral of this story is twofold.
1) Never let anyone shang hai your ebay winnings.

2) If your missus wants to rearrange the house, wish her luck& piss off to the pub.

Does this mean tomorrow we are going to hear about how you have had to change it all back again?

tis a brave man that rearranges without the wifes consent...

soon u might find urself bandaged....then changing it back the way SHE wants....

Look out...saucepan

No no no, I have UN-rearranged & claimed my cabinet back.

Legendary Spook, legendary. PMSL.

You'll have to tell us how your back is in the morning.

So dose that mean my woman is not uniqe? I have suffered with this problem for years!
Rob....

All women are unique to a given point, then chromosomes take over & they all become very much the same.
A couple of basic examples that no man will argue with.

-Your wage is THE money, her wage is HER money. And it's already spoken for anyway, so don't count on that.

-A man "wouldn't mind" one of (insert whatever here). A woman needs. She "needs" jewellry, "needs" a new car, "needs" a new camera. Oh, and your paying for it, cause her money is already spoken for.

-When she says,"I've been thinking". it's going to cost YOU money. (because her money is already spoken for, remember!)

-When you spend your anuall leave painting the house, laying a slab or generally tidying the place up, but as soon as you get company all you hear is "oh, we did this" & "we did that". You don't say anything, sip your beer & turn the steaks over, with every sinew in youir body wanting to scream- WHO'S F#CKING WE??

Trust me brothers, they are all the same.
But I really wouldn't have it any other way.

I am glad that you have learnt your lesson. I just wish that I could my man to do the same !

I hear ya spook, I don't mind it so much because I never ever have to do any cooking, dishes, washing or cleaning.

and spook...dont forget...

she grabs the fifty out of ur wallet, buys some milk...and there is NEVER any change!

pmsl....please...GIRLS were given a manual at birth...once they can read it, their alllowed to screw males over as much as they wish! Some start from birth. One sweet smile from their 'little princess' and some dads are forever at the shops with "Little Princess' carrying around the new purchases. Bikes, dresses, tiaras, wands etc.

And as U said, most wouldnt have it any other way....the dads at least

Lady, I'm married with 5 kids, I never have a 50 in my wallet to pull out!

What is with that? No change? I ask about it and I am firmly told "No Change"

Best way out is for me to walk to the milkbar and get the milk myself and a sixpack from the bottleshop next door. Works out cheaper
