I am a strong believer in separation of work and home. Too many secrets need to stay secret.<br />And they call me paranoid HAHAHAHAHAHA.<br /><br />As regards your last sentence, I strongly believe that if Men are from Mars, Women are from the 2nd moon of the 15th planet in the system GC32665 in the Andromeda Galaxy.<br /><br />Laoch: I understand. Neither can I, which is why I quite often end up sh*t creek without a paddle.<br /><br />AJ: HAHAHAHAHAHA. Go back to sleep you g*d botherer you. The only way I'll be back in church is when they put me in a wooden box and my Beloved ignores my dying wishes.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-80647253646340587602012-01-29T07:50:23.181+13:002012-01-29T07:50:23.181+13:00I'll see you in church this morning.I'll see you in church this morning.Angry Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255869502702105832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-34563768635181578652012-01-29T02:23:19.364+13:002012-01-29T02:23:19.364+13:00Obviously I cannot help in this quest as I cannot ...Obviously I cannot help in this quest as I cannot even remember such a long list,.Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506141014376919585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-66073810270086153722012-01-28T15:24:15.536+13:002012-01-28T15:24:15.536+13:00Well I think you are a terribly patient man TSB an...Well I think you are a terribly patient man TSB and your beloved just expects far too much from you.<br />If she only knew what you had to put up with after another fully and tiring year of teaching at NLHS, she may understand why you may forget some things. Take her to work with you for a week and let her observe all the shit that you must deal with daily. ONly then will she truly understand - perhaps. Other than that go back and read Men are from Mars Women are from Venus or start watching Dr Phil.Valley Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-27013867755677112752012-01-28T12:05:10.345+13:002012-01-28T12:05:10.345+13:00Patience_Crabstick: Oh thanks a bunch.

She is not a happy bunny. *Shh* These are the rules I'm <i>supposed</i> to follow. I'm not very good at following rules, which is why I'm glad the 20 year statute of limitations on one particular event runs out in two months.<br /><br />Alistair:Oh dear, I've gone past SNAFU and am well into FUBAR. Look, you know(as every married guy does) that that bit about "for better or worse" ONLY apllies to them. We're always worse (or worst.<br /><br />Oh, a joke!<br />Very bloody funny. HA HA HA *straight face*<br /><br />What is normal?<br />Is guilt normal?<br />Is abstinence normal?<br />*sigh*<br /><br />Patrick Dickie: (Exbothered) Thanks for the supportive comments, and if you can actually follow the rules, then you're either a better man than I, or completely hen-pecked.<br /><br />Well done.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-5735717746164631982012-01-28T09:43:20.079+13:002012-01-28T09:43:20.079+13:00I have two things to say.

The second thing is don't be so hard on yourself. I'm lucky to remember birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day.

We're Scottish so that's our default setting as far as these things go.<br /><br />And she did promise to love you 'for better or worse' and everyone knows that worse bit is just in there to make you feel a bit better on the day.<br /><br />These things are just female strategy to keep us on the back foot and keep the control in their hands.

The main factor isn't the lack of a present, it the fact that I FORGOT which of course (under wome's logic rules)= DON'T LOVE. But thanks for the best wishes.<br /><br />TC: No, it doesn't. Nice idea about the Hobbit; I'll give it a go, and if I survive I'll let you know how it went.<br />I'm a Dragon as well.<br /><br />Richard: Yes I know. All Dragons are either 60, 45, 30 or 15 this year, and my money was on the 60.<br /><br />looby: You silly (but well meaning) boy. You're using LOGIC. But this is now an emotional issue, so it doesn't apply, especially as female emotions are involved. *sigh*<br /><br />Sorry to dissapoint, but no bagpipes; although I quite like a quick pibroch now and again.Twisted Scottish Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825025524038296192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-34490015326548082692012-01-26T23:19:14.886+13:002012-01-26T23:19:14.886+13:00So a Singaporean living in NZ married to a Scotsma...So a Singaporean living in NZ married to a Scotsman has got the hump about neglected customs from China.<br /><br />I'd get a bit lost too.<br /><br />With Beloved's slightly highminded cross-cultural expectations there, I trust she got the bagpipes out and gave you a jolly good Burns Night?loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-65966272278113251472012-01-26T20:03:08.162+13:002012-01-26T20:03:08.162+13:00Yeah, and Comeinyourpants is sixty this year.Yeah, and Comeinyourpants is sixty this year.Richard (of RBB)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07245921253761836268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-88265093651453113722012-01-26T11:10:29.537+13:002012-01-26T11:10:29.537+13:00Does wearing red underwaey qualify as a red packag...Does wearing red underwaey qualify as a red package?<br /><br />As it is the Year of the Dragon I suggest buying her pre-release tickets to The Hobbit with all the trimmings.<br /><br />By the way, Year of the Dragon is my birth year.THE CURMUDGEONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747720629076703739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2556021846818907745.post-32704962398631809522012-01-26T09:02:46.462+13:002012-01-26T09:02:46.462+13:00Oh dear.
