The world of a woman.

[Dr Nowt]

Mines out on the lash tonight with one of her mates. She always asks out of courtesy, but she knows it'll be a yes. Same the other way round, she almost kicks me out the door. We spend a lot if time together, so it's good to have a break - though her friends also say 'how good I am' for 'letting her out'.

 

I can't imagine anything different, certainly wouldn't bother with it.  We'll check there's not something planned one of us has forgotten, but even going abroad for anything up to a week it's just "here are the dates, do these fit in?", let alone asking permission to go out for the night or away for the weekend to a mate's or whatever. 

 

No doubt things would change from a practical point of view on that score with kids, but I swear some fellas love it.  I have loads of mates who were like it before kids came along; who's respective other halves apparently have the biggest thumbs on the South Coast.

Me: Have we anything planned for the 27th?

Her: Why?

Me: I was chatting with the lads and we're thinking of having a bit of a lads night.

Her: Oh so you've already arranged it then?

Me: No, we've pencilled it in and I'm asking if we have anything planned so I can confirm it.

Her: Well what if I want us to do something that night

Me: What? You want to arrange something because I want to go out with the lads?

Her: Oh you do what you, want you've already made the arrangements blah blah blah moan moan blah blah.

 

Every single fucking time I asked.

[Rico1304]

It's fine, I'm picking her up and taking her round to the Household Cavalry once the boys are done.

 

To the Regiment!

[Hand Shandy]

You should have just told her you were going out on the 27th, then if she'd moaned that you and her were already doing something then, you could have made a big deal out of cancelling your thing, thus gaining some modicum of brownie points...

Have you tried a flying headbutt?

You don't understand. My mates all work in jobs where they work shifts and getting the stars to align takes a lot of work. We'd meet up and they'd have to bring their diaries so we could work out a suitable date. Two work in jobs where they are up and out at 5am and in jobs where they can't drink the night before. I too worked shifts. 

 

I actually knew we were doing nothing and I could have said any date, she would have still moaned. Cancelling wouldn't have been me gaining brownie points, as I'd then have to come up with another date and fresh from that victory she'd want to stop that too.

 

This is a lunatic that hid in the garden shed all night to stop me flying to San Francisco for work and phoned me as i was in the taxi to the airport at 5am telling me what a bastard I was for leaving the kids in the house alone. I knew the crank was in the shed. 

 

She certainly didn't operate a 'brownie point' system, the fucking loon.

[Hand Shandy]

Ah yes, I remember that one now.

 

You're fucked.

[Guest davelfc]

Ah yes, I remember that one now.

 

You're fucked.

 

Hardly, I left her. Although that just made her more angry. 

[Trumo]

Fucking hell, I vaguely remember you telling the shed story. I'm pretty sure I tagged the thread at the time.

[Dr Nowt]

Kudos for leaving and not taking her head with you in a jar.

I just popped in to say "fucking hell".

[littletedwest]

Thanks for that story pal, my Mrs seems perfectly reasonable compared to her.

[Acid]

Fuck me, I remember that story. I've been single ever* since thanks to that.

After a successful NYE looking the quite the business in a velvet jacket I have three new lady friends, two of whom are old friends and 'don't mind sharing' me.  Let's see how long that lasts.

[Liverpool lad]

This will end up in tears and the word 'cunt' being etched onto the bonnet of a car.

[Dr Nowt]

Hell hath no fury like a Stringy scorned.

 

That's what you meant, right?

Never off your MD player?  Starts playing when you walk into a room.

In my experience some of the lads now use the "the bird won't have it" excuse instead of saying they can't be arsed/don't fancy it for a night out. I know they're a nightmare and love to make us feel guilty for having fun without them, but I've found some of my mates using their bird as an excuse. I've seen one of my mates lost for words when I had a go at his bird for spoiling our fun only for her to deny all knowledge.
