    I think you should purchase said pans and smash his head in with one. Return them within the policy period offered, ensuring all blood is wiped off first.

    :eek: Sounds a bit vicious! I'd suggest for making him both pay for them AND carry them home - given what those things weigh, it'll probably put his back out! ;) Less likely to result in Police attention, but still gives a lasting reminded not to do it again - too often! ;)

    I dunno, free pans sound good to me! And they're such good quality they might even outlast the man!! (Only joking if you read this dear!!)

    men eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Now Now :naughty:

    Less of this misandrous talk thank you very much!

    I don't think there are too many of us blokes who haven't had a wife/gf that spent ridiculous amounts on endless pairs of shoes/handbags/both or anything else they "just had to have" despite knowing they couldn't afford it.

    I'd even go so far as to bet that applies to some of the women on this thread who rolled their eyes & thought "men eh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" ;)

    Having a partner who just doesn't understand money applies to both sexes

    I must admit that this is more about him being a wally and not about him being male!!:p

    Of course, I've never been one of those women who overspend on clothes and shoes :A but I'm sure they exist!
