    Newbie error

    After being married for awhile.. I should have known better.

    I forgot the 'give and forget' present mantra. Always get the woman a gift you can hand to her and get kudos for and then go and watch the tellie or down the pub.. never EVER get her a present that involves spending 'quality time together' doing something really boring.

    I am now stuck going to the musical Grease tonight

    I should have got her a waffle iron.

      I always find my waffles are of such a resonable presentational standard that I don't really feel the need to iron them.
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  Agreed, and when you are 3 sails to the wind, you get up on that there stage and show 'em how it's really done, tiger !
                  Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                    I suppose if you were hungry in a B&B away from home, Ironing waffles could be a simple cooking solution
