What planet do men live on?

[annie0000]

Was planning to make spag bol for dinner tonight, but went for a conker hunt with the boys so it was a bit late to start. Fired some fish fingers in the oven for the kids and hubby heads up to Saisburys to get a couple of currys for us. What do you want he asked me. Me: I don't fancy anything too spicy or tomatoey, get me a butter chicken or that prawn thing I like. Him - okay.

Arrives back - I got you a Balti chicken is that alright?
Me: Well I guess it'll be okay, bot really what I wanted though
Him: Well if you really don't fancy it, you can have my prawn thingy......

Now I either eat something I don't fancy or have something I do and feel guilty.

Why didn't he just buy two prawn thingys????????

eat the prawn thingy.. you know it makes sense!

(and he'll get it right the next time!)

[mollykins]

He should have listened to you, have the prawns.

Gosh annie......what a predicament.........men eh!

Is "prawn thingy not just a euphemism?"

[Answerprancer]

I like Bill Bailey's observation that women are often a bit more "on the ball" than men.
Woman: "WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!"
Man: "I dunno...er, 'listening', before that 'not', before that 'you're'"

Had the prawn dish - it was lovely! - oh, and it's not an euphanism - otherwise we wouldn't have been married for 14 years!

[anneasquith]

ill bet there was only one prawn thingy and he wanted it for himself.

[annie0000]

I asked him that anne - but they had plenty - that's what I mean about what planet, why get something else when they had what I asked for!

I bet he bought you the prawn thingy and the balti was for him, but after he'd got them he thought 'hmm, that prawn thingy looks quite nice, think I'll bags it for myself' :)

[askyourgran]

Know what you mean annie. I say to mrask "What do you fancy for tea?" He always always says "whatever you are having, or I'm not bothered." I wish for once he would say something, or (to give me a heart attack) get up and put the kettle on and make the fluffing tea.

What are you complaining about. A husband who would go and get supper from Sainsburys would be a wonderful thing. My husband is Italian and from the day he was born he has been waited on. I think I have left it a bit late to change things as we have been together for 34 years.

I'm with you annie. Strange if he could buy two of the prawn meals then why didn't he? Bit strange.

I'd have got you the prawn thingy and settled for a Fish Finger butty.

[annie0000]

lol - I shouldn't really complain - he's a keeper really.

You still here Feck W!t saddo - why would you want to be a member of something so bad if you hate it so much? Slope off back to your cess pit
