I tried, I really did......

Hope you're chilling and enjoying your weed
I think it's definitely something you need
Although it has to be said it can alter your mind
Which in your case could be good we might find
Imagine a planet where misandry doesn't exist
Free from your anguish that descends in a mist
However I hope that it's not skunk your taking
Otherwise we might get more half baking
Half baked assertions from a man, you're having a lark
You're probably nothing like as bad as your bark

That on top of the wine, oh dear.?

I have a mental image of two people in separate rooms, a glass of wine in hand. phone in the other and video messaging each other on Whatsapp.

It could be just what he needs though.

May7 it would need to be some high quality weed to lighten up Grandad.

Who needs Saturday night TV?

Terribull

Well Grandad1943 if it is any consolation, although my husband can't really take the mickey out of me for my shopping prowess (I could shop for England and win☺) he can certainly take the mickey out of me for plenty of other things: my complete ignorance of anything to do with sport (I am sure as a sports lover I am a real embarrassment to him), the fact that I can't count for toffees (did get my maths O Level, but God knows how), my abysmal attempts as trying to get to grips with anything to do with IT; I could go on and on. But laughing about our foibles doesn't bother either of us; we both have our strengths and weaknesses. What we do have in common however, is a sense of humour? I don't mind a bit of light-hearted banter and my husband positively thrives on it! Where we come from (the North West) it is the norm, we are a sarky lot, and as long as it is not too personal or in any way nasty, we are all fine with it.

May7 ??

Oops sorry misread post *Joint WhatsApp group*my mistake

"Tonight's the night" the clocks change.....

Oh that’s brilliant TerriBull!

Goodness I’ve just come back on this lovely lighthearted thread to read Grandads gone off ^for a JOINT then. what have you ladies reduced him too!!
Sirchenjin thanks for the heads up about the loo roll

That thought had crossed my mind, Phoenix.

I have another theory, but I'll hold it for now.

Misandry is undoubtedly a terrible crime
It's here on GN a lot of the time
We are fortunate to have a Misandry Official
Although some think he spouts a load of piffle
He diligently examines every thread
Often it makes him him really see red
"It doesn't look good" he's prone to exclaim!
"The men it seems get all the blame"
"When they go out to shop to do their best
Whilst you're on your buts having a rest
If you think your husband's efforts are lacking
Then get up off you're a***e and give him some backing"
It really isn't good to have a man wag his finger
Although the rude responses make me linger
Grandad you are fixated on something that hardly exists
But on and on you relentlessly persist
"Let it Go" like the song you should make that a must
Chillax with some wine before you combust

Phoenix, thank you so much for starting this thread, it has cheered me up no end!

Just a thought, has anyone ever seen a post from Grandma1943, or MrsGrandad1943?

Does she exist? If so, is she actually allowed access to GN, or even the internet?

Funnily enough we were just discussing this earlier. I wanted to know the measurements of a space ,as I fancy a small desk. Mr Grey goes off to the west wing and brings his fancy retractable measurey thing and moves about in a manly fashion and write down the figures.

Ah well.

I’m sat in our kitchen - DH cooking us a chicken curry - and I was reading out to him the OP and then the hilarious responses. Both of us laughing. Then it suddenly took a turn for the worst. What a shame that so many joyful threads are highjacked by those with no sense of humour or wanting to voice their own dissatisfactions. Shame on you. Don’t we deserve a giggle or two.

Grandad1943 please enjoy your time away, don't hurry back.

Phew - now we can all get back to enjoying this thread Grandad. I’m glad you’re finally going to get some attention from people who appreciate your conversation.

Marydoll we are very much together in shutting the physical world out, which is how it is supposed to be carried out.

Anyway bye for now.?

Are you and your wife self isolating in different rooms, Grandad?
Glad you are taking this lockdown seriously.

Phoenix, yes, I am a critic of very poor sexist humour.

Anyway, I will be leaving the thread for a time now as we are about to start a joint WhatsApp video group over a couple of glasses of wine. ?

"Very poor humour thread"?

So, you're a critic, now are you?

Well in our house there are things my husband excels at: anything to do with computers, finance, pensions, banking, the cars, plumbing, electrical problems, moving heavy item - just to mention a few, all of which I am rubbish at. But conversely, there are things I excel at that he is rubbish at: cooking, organising, booking holidays, English grammar, English literature, foreign languages, ironing, not getting annoyed, and last but not least - shopping! A few years ago I had an operation on my foot and obviously couldn't go out, so off he went shopping. In addition to things on my list came home with the largest jars of pickles and red cabbage I have ever seen, I am talking catering size. We don't even eat either of them, no idea what he was thinking of. He also added such delicacies as a huge bag of raw frozen tiger prawns which cost an arm and a leg, a pack of pearl barley, which I have never cooked with and wouldn't know what to do with, a bag of curly Kale (I really don't like curly Kale), tins of butter beans (yeuck) and a pack of ox liver, which as you all know is nowhere near as nice as lambs liver! He also piled the trolley with all kinds of alcohol, mainly different beers and lagers, despite us having a garage full of the stuff! Still, I suppose I should be grateful that he actually did get all that was on my list, just a pity that he bought a load of other stuff too ☺
