SWMBO's and other lady forumites

Re: SWMBO\'s and other lady forumites

Sounds like a good idea. I'd like to swap ideas on how to get HWMBO to take less stuff on a sailing trip ......... he takes twice as much stuff as me! Also how do you get them to use the right terminology, he spends all the time on a boat saying things like "Pass me the thingy" or "Can you winch in the wotsit a touch".

Re: SWMBO\'s and other lady forumites

Aah.... but to say "could" you and "can" you to a man is to imply he might not have the skills to manage it! If you say Would you or Will you, it implies you know he is capable of doing it, and so he just might......if he feels like it!!!

Poor wee creatures, they don't like to be doubted!!!

Don't doubt the poor wee creature - but why can't he remember that a winch handle is a winch handle and not a thingy, wotsit or even douffer!!

Re: SWMBO\'s and other lady forumites

I have been through a very frustrating 24 hours when my broadband failed. But so gratifying to see that Ruth has upheld the ladies so well. I also have a way of protecting finger nails, and it really does hurt when the dam things get broken.
On this thread, I think that a ladies forum would be great.
What do we do next?

Re: SWMBO\'s and other lady forumites

I have been in the same situation, there was his lordship with the wheel in his manly paws, asking me to winch in the genoa (no self tailing winches then) in a good blow, which I wasn't strong enough to do. So it was my fault we had to put in an extra tack. And can steer to windward better than he can anyway.

But there was a nice lady in a foreign market wondering what present to buy those left at home when she noticed a dusty old lamp. She bought it and hurried back on board before the rest of the crew and gave it a bit of a rub clean. To her surprise, a genie rose in a cloud of smoke from the spout.
''I can give you three wishes'', he said in a deep voice.''But I must warn you that whatever you ask, your husband will recieve three-fold''
The lady thought for a moment, and then said ''Please will you make the the richest woman in the world''
If I do, this will make your husband three times richer than you'', said the genie.
''Thats fine'' responded the lady. ''And for my next wish I would like to be the most beautiful woman in the world''.
And so she became; with her husband becoming that much more handsome.
''For my third wish'', said the lady ''I would like a little heart attack.''

Why do I suddenly feel old?
Think I've stopped rising to the bait as dangled so temptingly on this thread!

Wait a minute, why would a husband want to be three times more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world?? Is there a small logistical issue here? Should we feel sorry for this gentleman??

>>''For my third wish'', said the lady ''I would like a little heart attack.'' <<

Oh very good... <g>

Timing

End July/beg August would be when we'd be having our family (sailing) holiday. Meet up in Guernsey?!
Later in August would be better.

>>>Sometimes I just feel abit left out - not because I'm a girlie but because we are in Manchester.

No problem - all the Mancs I know keep their yachts in Pwlhelli, Holyhead, Conwy or Liverpool and people from those ports post all the time.

Re: Excellent idea

Towards the end of July could be good for me, assuming the boat has completed her recovery from osmosis treatment, and finally got her mast rigged.
Somewhere along the South Coast, or over the channel?
