Not all my fault!

I think I may have commented to her about another possibility that usedeasy start and I had enquirer on the forum about the use of easystart being a good idea….she obviously retained the information

I thought that society was mature enough to share responsibility

I think "Its a fair cop, guvnor, but socierty is to blame" was retired with Dixon of Dock Green

Society mature? When was the last time you looked at the news?

Reminds me of my favourite covid era meme. Showing Chris Whitty saying it was time to trust the good sense of the British people, then a photo of a Daily Star front page, with a bloke claiming to have stuck 19 cadburys creme eggs up his bum.

Before Wansy is put out to grass…

I think he needs to man up and just buy the bludy thing.
The one with the wobbly auto bilgepump that the wife secretly quite liked

All the best adventures start with ‘’Trust me, I’ve done this loads of times…”

A deal is a thing that works between both parties. So In exchange for working on some wretched finka every week, the honest tradesman demands an honest boat!
She might even resoect you more for it. El Capitano
Man up, man

Used to be a standing joke that sailing wives would reject a potential purchase because 'the mirror is in the wrong place".

Funnily enough, it's something I never thought about when I bought my boat, being wifeless, and my first two ( male) guests never mentioned but my recent female guest noticed straight away - the only mirrors onboard are across the head of the main bed and on the cabinet in the heads which is (a) very small (b) steams up and (c)was too high for her 5ft1 frame. We visited a store in Barcelona second day to buy one for the second cabin.

You’re a married man, wansy. Of course it’s your fault. Them’s the rules.

If a tree falls in a wood and there is no woman to hear it, is it still the man's fault?

In order to tend my wifes “finca” we need to spend a minimum of two nights in the ria de Vigo so the boat has a double use as weekend cottage.

I don’t know exactly what that means - but presumably there is an existing mechanism for dealing with the finca. Have you considered something like a drascombe for pottering and a caravan/yurt ashore for living! Boats, especially old boats, make poor cottages!

She doesn't need to hear it; it's sufficient that 20 years ago when it last happened, it was your fault.

According to a lady who obviously didn't like men, to whom I asked the question as a bit of a tease, the answer is very definitely yes.

As for mirrors on boats, we hadn't had Jazzcat very long before a trip to Ikea for a full length mirror was required

You have to ask?

 

[Blueboatman]

If the fallen tree is brought home and sliced and stored for the next 12 years to season, is it not but natures provision ?
