Other halves
ChrisW - 10/8/03 at 01:10 PM

My girlfriend is always on about coming to one of our meets but I know it's going to be grief when she realised we really do just talk about cars! So, can we arrange a meet when we all bring our other halves along to keep each other company?

Great idea, tell them to bring some knitting along with them. What do they talk about while you discuss wishbones and stuff, shoes or something? You could let them drive so you can drink more I think I'm getting the hang of this now and it doesn't sound such a bad idea.

yours, Pete.

I'm into this getting in touch with my feminine side really. She conned me into believing the hoover and iron's a power tool 'cos it's got a wire on it.

bob - 10/8/03 at 10:13 PM

Soldering iron = OK
Hoover = big no no

Unless like me i comondered the hoover for garage duty.

Peteff,

Do you also wear the uniform when ironing and hoovering (you know the short frilly one with the stockings)?


bob - 11/8/03 at 08:04 AM

Must be a northern thing


Peteff - 11/8/03 at 09:51 AM

I will do when you let me have it back.

yours, Pete.

P.S. I'll forward it to Bob when I,ve ironed it.

ned - 12/8/03 at 09:28 AM

i brought my other half up to newlands one month, she got bored and read a book in the car... (not the book!)
she said afterwards, i didn't think you were just going to talk about cars.. (what the hell else did she expect us to talk about!!) needless to say i won't be bringing her again anytime soon....


Ned.

Yes, mine liked the view but couldn't get with the conversation at all. Still I got away with a meet up on a day that should have been a family day!

Got to remember that there's a good chance they won't get on if we get them all to come anyway. Let's face it, the only reason I meet such a strange bunch of chaps in a car park in Surrey is to get my car built and sorted, I won't been seen dead with any of you otherwise


ChrisW - 12/8/03 at 01:38 PM

What are all your other halves into then? Mine likes Art History and green things (the stuff that blurrs past when you drive fast!)

You're other half is into going for long walks, playing with (chasing) cats, and fetching sticks isn't he?

James


ChrisW - 12/8/03 at 06:03 PM

Sounds like ours might get along then. Bringing her next time?

Sorry, forgot about you northerners and your liking of sitting in a dark room with half a dozen equally hairy men.

Chris


theconrodkid - 12/8/03 at 08:04 PM

chrisg - 12/8/03 at 08:04 PM
