That won't save you if LSM sees it. lol.

Trouble & Strife is only mentioned when we're at a football match, down the pub etc.

At home, it's "yes dear, no dear, three bags full dear" :-)

One night I looked at my wife and her hair was a mess. I looked at my watch and thought this was all a waste of time so I headed out the door and down the pub for a pint. But would you believe it, when I got home and headed up the stairs the wife was on the phone all night so I slept on my own.

Being married twice before, When I started dateing my now wife, I told her right out not to ask me any questions about how she looked in clothing unless she wanted the unvarnished truth.
Ive told her a few times I didnt like what she was wearing. Sometimes she will change the outfit sometimes not.

To be fair though, I do ask her how I look. I do change my clothes when She dosent like them:)

My BF let his hair grow for me. He practises Wing Tsun, a kind of martial arts. He didn't have any hair when I met him...

But would you believe it, when I got home and headed up the stairs the wife was on the phone all night so I slept on my own.

I knew 90% of it, a couple I had to look up :-) It is of course Cockney Rhyming Slang, introduced in the 1850's and used by the London East End market stallholders to talk amongst themselves without the police or outsiders understanding what they were saying. Some of it has now got doubled up as in "a kick up the aris"

Hi Chris, hi everyone!

I don't think there are many cockneys left in the eastend of London at all nowadays, with the possible exception of pearly kings and queens. I think some have moved to Essex. Traditionally it is said that if you're born within the sound of Bow bells, you're a cockney (or so I've been told - actually I should really go and check my facts first - but I not gonna alwigh' - maybe later :))

That would make my son a cockney I suppose, but he used to find the queens English perplexing enough with it's blatant "falsehoods" (eg - it's raining cats and dogs, boiling the kettle etc) Goodness knows what confusion rhyming slang would have caused with his slant towards literal language! I will never forget the first time I told him we were going to catch a Barking train... could have lost him that day :( and he wasn't best pleased with the train when we did get on it... think he thought it would have ears and a tail :)

I find it interesting that Elliott Ness, who was an American who was famous 80-90 years ago, managed to become a rhyming slang term.

I'll have my youngest daughter here this weekend for the local B&S ball and I just got told that my youngest son will be here next weekend (I guess that I'll get told to "behave myself" and that I'm "too old for those sorts things" again). :-(

Cheers.

Thank you Chris, every time I read that stuff
I understand some of it, but my memory always
fails me when I try for all of it.
Thank you Es for the translation, It makes me
feel better as it showed I am getting better at it.

We just took my youngest son to see Divergent. He read the books and enjoyed them so we took him to the movie.

I have now explained to him that when he starts dating I expect him to bring home a nice girl like the heroine who is smart and brave and who can save the world along side him when he grows up. Its nice to see decent roles for girls in the movies, not like those awful Twilight movies.

Seeing that both of my youngest are at Uni they seem to think that the roles are reversed now Es. :-(

Yeah I know and that's likely why my kids say what they do to me (I always seem to get into trouble when I bring a female friend home when 1 or all the kids are home). :-(

:( They may just be being over protective of you Wiggo. You know, they want the message to get out there that you're "protected"... so they don't have to wait in the queue to get in to see you :)

I don't think that "protected" is what they're thinking about.

Even when they were younger and their mum and I did a bit of kissing 'n' cuddling their response was "yuck, yous are to old for that now".

Cheers.
