"Newspapers for Men"

I just heard a radio ad for the Fabric Warehouse, they listed all ofthe things they had, and finshed with "There's a play-area for children, and newspapers for men."

Because real men don't look at fabric, and the good people at the Fabric Warehouse know this.

Still I think they should have game consoles for men.

We sound like ungrateful mysoginists, but we're not.
We appreciate the fact that our other halves are goodly enough to sleep with us, it's just the other stuff that gets in the way sometimes.

Mine works most weekends which is also a darn good arrangement.

Don't worry about that.
I drop her off at the gym Saturday morning till 11am, then we go eat and do some shopping...well, she shops and I smoke and look forlorn.
Then we watch a movie and I go back home Sunday morning so she can do the girlie stuff.

Perfect arrangement

My missus had a day at a Spa yesterday. This I didn't mind - she's been working hard etc so a relaxing (£70)hydrotherapy day looked like just the ticket.

Until she came home.

She had bought a further £90 worth of 'products' that they had advised her were good for her skin! Oh yeah and a pair of St Davids Hotel & Spa slippers!

Bah!

Don't get sucked into that every weekend, or it's curtains. (Just as long as they match the sofa and the carpet).

Oh you wait until she gets the "Let's get things for the house" head on.

We spent almost 2hours in Do-It-All whilst she used that paint mixing computer thing.
Boy, that was a relaxed and non-tense evening when we got back home, I can tell you.

But now she goes back to NZ for 3 weeks tonight.
Obviously I shall miss her terribly, and I am forced to fill my hours with video games, DVDs and online gaming with my boys.

It is that simple for men.
We discuss where to go in the car on the way down.
"I just want to go to record store and then video store"
"Junk food?"
"Yeah alright"

Shopping SAS style, we go in and hit hard, leave before they even realise we were about.

Come to think of it I used to enjoy shopping with my missus until I bought a PS2.

When I was with my girlfriend (sniff), she used to wander around Boots with no particular agenda, and then go back down aisles she'd already been down for another go! What's that about? And what's with the hassle of sitting on those little padded seats designed for people buying shoes? I got turfed off one of those just a few weeks ago! Madness!

Actually, I can now recall a time when I wanted to stay in the shops for longer!

In Peterborough we were parked in a car park where they gave you a ticket, and on the way out they'd check it to say how long you'd been in, and pay the man at the kiosk.

My theory was if we waited long enough the man would go home and we'd get out for free. So when all the shops closed we went for pizza, and returned to the car to find the man gone. All day free parking.
