Recession Obscenity

I guess we have to learn early that life isn't fair and if we had a redistribution of wealth tomorrow by the end of the month some people would have doubled their money whilst others would have lost the lot.

I wouldn't spend that much on a car if I was super rich and I certainly don't spend my life looking at the lives of celebrities, I do my thing and I am happy with where I have got to in life.

Sorry.

I'll go off to my shed now

Impressed.

We have 2 sheds and they're both his.

That said, I claim the cupboard under the stairs!

Actually that has lots of ageing tins of paint in too.

Confused - by Cleaver's definition, does that make me part man, too?

I think it's more your stubble and adam's apple that give you away.

I liked this one...

46 Being able to wear the same pair of shoes for 25 years before buying a new pair.

My DH is still, after all these years, struggling with the concept that I have a small number of pairs of shoes for walking in. Apparently all of his are for walking. What's wrong with having pairs that make your ankles look lovely?

Yes, I liked that one too.

Also

29 Overfeeding the dog.
30 Saying, “Oh, so that explains it” in a cryptic voice the day you get your period.
and
32 Doing lots of very important pointing and shouting.



Something for everyone to recognise there.

That's not true, I make sure that Mrs C's meals are a decent size.

Was being overtly sexist about your wife to show off in front of others when you're actually quite caring at home on the list?

No, that's just you. :eek:

I liked this one from the comments at the end:

"The most important use for men is missing: Taking the blame .... for everything. "

Ooops, sorry that post counts as ''Thou doth protest too much''.

Me too...... to much of the above...but I would never post it..sounds too, too, well...accepting of everything.
What happened to good old class warfare, status envy and the rest. Helps get one up each morning to face the daily grind.
If you are going to carry the millstone throughout ones life, best fuel the energy with a dream and a bit of envy......never fails to inspire.:D

93 Managing to ruin a perfectly plumped-up sofa within precisely three seconds.

It should be a hanging offence.

Still, he's very good at it.

However...

You have me all wrong fc123, I saw what I wanted in life and worked till I got it, I had and still have dreams but they are not influenced by the lives of the rich and famous.;)
