SaligoBay Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Mr SB came home from some brico place last weekend (I do let him out by himself now and again, but the last time I did he went to Latvia where apparently the women are lovely , so I might have to review this policy ah yes, and said he'd witnessed "a stupid English woman" failing to communicate with a member of staff. Apparently the young man was doing his very best, in English too, but this woman was just sooooo ignorant, should never have been let loose on France, and the young man eventually went off in a little French-customer-service strop, with very good reason.Then a middle-class dad in the village asked me did I know any English estate agents who sell French houses, because he has a property to sell, and he thinks he'll get a higher price if he sells to an anglais. Oh really? Perhaps if he'd made some other efforts to speak to me before now, I might be a bit more willing to research this for him........And I thought I was so safe...........

Anton Redman Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 In a rare moment of lucidity I discussed this with Isabel she felt you were making key errors in Husband/Toyboy control.1. You allowed him out of the house with money - You are clearly failing to spend money atleast twice as fast as he or anybody else on this planet can earn it.2. You are neglecting your duty to the sisterhood. Isabel has a small number of motivational 'T Shirts' bearing suitable slogans such as 'Mr Bobbit had it coming' and 'SCUM European Branch'3. You let him out of your sight with his passport. I know brico's, used car lots etc are boring but the secret in life is balance. If I spend 20 hours pretending to be interested while Isabel shops for clothes, I am allowed 1 hour in the brico. Any failure to make appropriate comments restart the clock at zero.

Will Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I can think of few worse punishments than an hour in Bricomarché or some similar establishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, I think, well known that whilst men are only able to do one thing at a time, ladies are a little disadvantaged when it comes to the map reading department so it is a little worrying that Mr SB went Bricoing via Latvia. I would have thought there was one nearer!weedon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I also was surprised that you had let him out with money.This will not do. Slips like that could set us wimmin back years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
