Ok, having viewed a thread concerning the silent stoney treatment, great for a short while but not worth it in the long run, I ordered some goodies for my Doris. Now being crafty, my wife works part time and has the monday and Tuesday off, I thought I'd make sure I get the 4-5 working day delivery option, this was ordered late last Thursday, with the bank holiday Monday I knew it wouldn't arrive until at least wednesday. Wrong!! the door bell rang this afternoon, I looked out the window and there was an UPS van sitting outside. I broke into a cold sweat and thought of packing my bags there and then but I mustered up the courage and ran downstairs beating her to the door. Her: "Who's at the door?" Me: "no-one" Her: "Yes there is, I can see a van outside" Me: " Oh, Olly , (my son) Must have ordered something" Damn too late I remebered he was home Her to son: " Olly, are you expecting a delivery?" Him (bastard) " No Mum" Her: " Well?" I can feel the arms crossing and locking of knees Me mumble: " phwerble pwerble bits for my bike" Her: " I thought I'd told............" Son interrupting Her: " Mum isn't that Tipping point starting?" Her: " Oh Ok" and she was gone!! So there you go make sure delivery spots are for the afternoon in case of over efficient delivery companies and never deny your son a beer
In my experience of women, revenge is a dish they most enjoy served cold. When does the programme end?
Buy what you want and live with the consequences, I say. Trying to second-guess a woman is like trying to knit fog.
See what you need is workplace that can be delivered to, my new Arai QV Pro in white coming tomorrow. This replaces the HJC-Is17 in white. That replaced the white Shark.... see a theme guys? Yet to be rumbled, at least no discussions have ever taken place...
My missus is total opposite. If we go in a bike dealer and I'm drooling over something - why don't you buy it? Go to Infinity at Glasgow, what do you need? Only problem is, she would bankrupt us, if I let her
I never have a problem with wifey, I buy what I want and she buys what she wants If she tried to stop my buying or doing what I want then all hell would break out and they’d only be one winner,,,,,,me
I always tell my wife that I'm entitled to have as many motorbikes as she has sewing machines. She has five, she used to have seven. I've only got three bikes so i've got some catching up to do.
Did you hit het over the head in the past causing extensive brain damage? If so I’m calling the police. No one I repeat no one has a wife like that. Or the other option is ....... is her name Gloria ? Have we been mistaken that Gloriaand Von Smallhausen were an item and it was really you and Gloria?
I don't think his wife is the one that's had a bang to the head ! Sounds like Jez is still very delusional to me.
I'm with you on this one DD. She's the reason I got into biking in the first place - spotted a Bonneville and said "why haven't you got one of those?" The rest is history! She's used to things arriving by post or being delivered - especially since I started the CX500 project. I am allowed to buy as much motorcycle gear as I want providing it does not exceed the number of handbags she has.
God almighty, I couldn't live like that, hiding, deception guilty conscience, I am and do count my self very lucky, my wife is more likely to buy me things as a surprise than not 'allow' me to buy things, after my health problems and not being able to ride the Triumph she helped me back to biking with the Vision & PCX, helped me get kitted out again, etc, etc. Never in our 40+ years have we had any problems like that, I just caught a good'n I suppose.
Deepest sympathy??? Wad ya mean I’m a catch I am and she knows it You’re right though she’s a good sport
She’s a good un mate And I can see you had to turn the bag inside out the same as me because of advertising
