Are Men Pretending?.....

[gness]

When a man decides to spend most of the day listening to or watching a sport they will fall asleep.....you're sure they are asleep.....eyes closed....mouth open.....gentle snores......the muttering of a name you don't recognise......ignore the dribble....

Now you can make as much noise as you like......glugging the wine.....sneezing....washing the dishes....click clacking the knitting needles......singing along with Rod Stewart in the next room......the kid in the flat upstairs is learning to play the violin and clog dance at the same time......
Nothing stirs the man.......until......
You turn off the sport......!

Then they leap up as if you've set fire to their pants and declare....

Hey! I was listening to that!!!!!

So...pretending all along to be asleep?....and if not what the hell is it that wakes them in an instant when the sport goes off?..... :-)

[Zacs-Master]

It's a skill developed over many years of training. And drinking beer.

[pixie374]

The knack is to turn the volume down very gradually first...xx

[Tilly2]

The sixth sense.

[gness]

Ahhh...thank you, Zacs...I shall now ban beer....okay if I blame you?.... ;-)

Pixie.....they seem to react when you're two inches from the volume knob????

Tilly...sixth sense???...You mean men have five others????? No!.......Crikey....... :-)

[Eleena]

Ha ha .. True Gness. Done that many times pixie.

[pixie374]

Leave his knob alone... use the remote control x

[gness]

Ooooo....Pixie!!!! :-)

Between you and Zacs he'll be sorry I posted this!....x

[gness]

Hi, Eleena....they do don't they?....All of them.....x

[aelmpvw]

it's the remote control being gently prised from my fingers that wakes me up

[ummmm]

We went for a nap. I Woke up and he was asleep beside me snoring. Next time I open my eyes he's walking in the room with two beers because the football is about to start. Nothing for me :-(

[Eleena]

Done that too ael ... before it finds the floor.

[Old_Geezer]

They were taking it in.
You can get tapes containing lessons you can listen to as you sleep. Same principle.
Extraneous noise can be filtered out, turning off the data stream is a jolt to the brain.

[gness]

Not a hot iron on the knuckles, Ael?...... :-)

Off you go to the bar, Ummmm......nice cocktail or a jug of sangria.....x

[gness]

I see, OG.....so as well a six senses men have vivid imaginagions...... ;-).....x

[mallyh]

aelmpvw my oh falls asleep gripping the remote too ,very annoying

[ummmm]

We're in the bar now :-)

[Butterbun]

I'd be watching a program and he'd be fast asleep and snoring but the minute I get up and leave the room, even for a second, he's wide awake, grabs the remote and change the channel. It's all an act.

[aelmpvw]

//Not a hot iron on the knuckles, Ael?//
doris is on ironing strike due to the heat, you can't get the staff ...

[albaqwerty]

According to Mr Alba (who does this quite often) he's not sleeping, he's resting his eyes

Aye, right. I'll believe you.....
