Im getting old, decrepit and forgetful.
Have we ever had a party at Stonehenge
Or if we did was it one I was so pissed preoccupied at that I've forgotten?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 22:46:30

Yes, that's the right tone, phoenix!

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:44:00

Like it!
Sounds fun!
Ok . Jenni is the nom de plume but I think anybody could be jenni!
So all could chip in.
So long as its not serious!

Ok tomorrow then! I'm to bed now.

Phoenix
Youre more computer literate than me. Can you set it up?

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 22:33:59

Just Ask Jenni with the strap line *If you can't take the answer, don't ask the question!"

Waddya think?

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 22:31:43

Yes I can see it now agony Aunt Jeni up in lights.... as long as its not the reflection from Duncan rear end wink

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:31:18

Oh!
Suggestions please as to title and on which forum.
It would take a cynical, humerous view.
Are people interested?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 22:21:31

Your question about whether you should start a new thread, of course! smile

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:18:48

Goodnight all!
phoenix see you tomorrow at the party!
anagramstill not sure what you said yes to?

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 22:15:26

HUMPH! Shant.

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:13:57

I get the impression you are really pissed off a little perturbed?
Remember, there are good moments in your life as well.--tell him you are fed up--
Then try to have a nice cup of cocoa together and snuggle up.-- give him a slap round the chops--

glammanana Thu 21-Jun-12 22:13:29

There you go phoenix you will feel better now you have had a good old rant grin

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 22:06:36

CONJUGAL RIGHTS! CONJUGAL RIGHTS! I should be so bloody lucky, and have a good memory. Mutter mutter, grump whinge curse.

Or I could have a Father Jack moment and just say "feck!" "arse!" but I think for now I'll stick to his other favourite phrase, "drink!"

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 22:04:15

Yes what?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 22:02:41

Yes!

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:59:08

Oh dear.
In other words 'typical male behaviour! '
This is quite normal for his sex.
Don't worry! Treatment is not neccessary. Just a withdrawal of conjugal rights and non provision of services such as cooking, shopping, laundry etc for a few days.
This should soon restore his sense of proportion.

And coming to the party tomorrow should restore yours!
grin

Anymore problems, please remember,agony aunt jeni is available for consultations! smile

Perhaps I should start a new thread?

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 21:57:02

grin

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:54:40

Ha! Just got my own back, in a rather minor, petty way! Used his bathrobe to dry the cat!

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:49:44

I have worked from 9am to 4.45pm today, albeit at home. It was one of my designated days for my new part time job. I shut myself in the home office, only coming out to:
Make coffee
Have a pee
Make more coffee
Have another pee.
Get some lunch

On one excursion to the kitchen (making coffee, not having a pee as that would be so wrong) Mr P was in the kitchen eating a sandwhich. Last nights washing up was on the side. Next trip down, to make some lunch, Mr P had retired to the bedroom to read his book, the washing up was still there and had been added to. I couldn't make myself some lunch with it still there, (not a case of lack of room or crockery etc, I just couldn't!) so I washed it all up, made my lunch, ate it, then washed that up and went back to work.

To add insult to injury, he forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer for tonights supper.

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 21:41:11

grin you have it there. jeni
glamma do you think specsavers would give us a GN discount wink

merlotgran Thu 21-Jun-12 21:39:47

Mr. M is really good at getting corks out of wine bottles. So good, in fact, I found a neat little hole in the middle of a screw top. His excuse is he's partially sighted.

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:38:35

Sorry, but you haven't recognised the well known medical fact that men suffer from a rare form of congenital amblyopia. This renders them unable to recognise certain things.
Egs
1 they cannot discern it is neccessary to remove the top of the linen basket to place laundry in it.
2 visual impairment renders an inability to realise a pile of dirty plates requires action
3 that when searching for a pair of socks they will be in the same drawer that has been used for socks for the last x no of years.

A loving wife will realise and give tender love and understanding to these poor underprivileged individuals!

glammanana Thu 21-Jun-12 21:37:50

Can we get two for the price of one at Specsavers.grin

glassortwo Thu 21-Jun-12 21:35:10

phoenix you should know by now that men wear magic glasses........ they live in a perfect tidy world where nothing ever needs done wink I need a pair!

Anne58 Thu 21-Jun-12 21:29:26

Humph! Doesn't require much brain to see a pile of washing up! Might actually put it on AIBU.

Anagram Thu 21-Jun-12 21:28:38

Huh! I've done my bit in that regard - the only reason I humour Mr A nowadays is when I want him to take the bin out! grin

jeni Thu 21-Jun-12 21:25:17

Oh dear! Men can be a pain. But you have to remember they are not rational thinking creatures like us!
They keep their brains in very odd places, and their brains have no connection with their mouths.
You have to humour the poor things for the sake of the propagation of the human race!
