Well the money is a bit skint at the moment as Lacey got her X'mas pressie on 23rd October (the Prado was her pressie).

I on the other hand, get as my pressie the ability to drive it whilst on release from work. Usually get given the Prado with #$*@all diesel. :shock: :shock:

Mmm, WRONG

Maybe I should have said it s..l..o...w..e..r,, not the bloody car, the WIFE :!:

Never though people couldn't read on this forum,,,, :shock: :shock:

Oh yes, this moderator is well and truely all out of good humor lately.... :evil:

Have a lovely evening and do read the posts fully, before replying :roll: :roll:

Funny, I thought it would get a few grins... not at all meaning to irritate.

I guess my humour was a little too subtle - I did try to make it less subtle by introducing it as "all in good humour"... the wife, the car, what's the difference?

Jokes just aren't as funny when you have to explain them

I hope your good humour returns soon... I've enjoyed it too many times already.

Cheers,
LFaR.

Wow, after letting him drive the Prado I am sure he will have a good grip on his rod. :lol: :lol:

I saw a beautiful article in a magazine today.

It was a truely inspirational look at the perfect marriage and the guidelines for maintaining the friendship, the love and the harmony ....

The magazine was the "Good Housekeeping" magazine and the issue was released on May 13 1955.

It is so good I would like to get it blown up and block mounted - then hung in the kitchen .................


It's got to be the perfect christmas present for my loving wife :lol:







The Good Wife's Guide

:arrow: Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious
meal ready for him, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you
have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men
are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal
(especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.

:arrow: Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he
arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-
looking. He has just been at work with a lot of work-weary people.

:arrow: Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need
a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

:arrow: Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house
just before your husband arrives.

:arrow: Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth over the
tables.

:arrow: Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for
him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and
order, and it will give him a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will
provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

:arrow: Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and
faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their
clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the
part. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the
washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

:arrow: Be happy to see him.

:arrow: Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

:arrow: Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the
moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his
topics of conversation are more important than yours.

:arrow: Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to
dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to
understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at
home and relax.

:arrow: Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and
tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

:arrow: Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

:arrow: Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night.
Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.

:arrow: Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have
him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

:arrow: Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing
and pleasant voice.

:arrow: Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or
integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always
exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to
question him.

:arrow: A good wife always knows her place.



Go on ... you know you want to ..... if you dare :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some thrillseekers skydive or bungy jump, some drive or ride really fast, some hike through jungles or wrestle crocodiles ....

... I prefer to marry a 6'9" Ninja warrior then tell her to cook my dinner :shock:

It's refreshing to see that some things just never go out of style... good advice is always timeless.

There are a few magazines like that from the seventies that a mate has and they detail stuff like this as well as some advice for spicing things up in the bouduoir...
