Lidle Bike Stand is causing divorce!!!

[Psyclist]

I think this is an issue for..............

.......

 

[byegad]

Sad, but divorce is the only answer.

Sorry to hear of your problem ,(wife). It`s really simple , you are the man of the house and you can put the stand where you like . Let me know how long it takes you to recover from the horrific violence you will no doubt endure .

 

[snorri]

So, where about in the house has your wife positioned her Lidl Stand? Can't you negotiate some form of shared usage with her?

 

[david k]

She (as in my wife of 44 years) Thank you.

treat yourself to a new one, youve had this one a long time

<sigh> I find the creepy 1950s sexism in this forum a little depressing sometimes. </sigh>

It's just a step away from "my mother in law is so fat that when she ... "

Then I noticed that

Target for 2012 = 800 miles .............. Current total = 350 miles

Quick glance suggests that David K has posted well over 350 messages here this year: maybe we could enforce a number of mile cycled > number of messages test before posting sexist crap?

To the OP (more seriously): If you wanted to turn the 2nd lounge into a workroom, the time to agree on that was before the new carpet was installed.

(my partner is always on about me leaving my cycling bits everywhere, but I know he is right)

There have been many tongue in cheek messages on this thread and board, why did you decide to address mine only? Then why did you decide to look at how many posts id made against miles cycled to try to enforce your point??? I find that a far more creepy than a well meant funny.

If you dont like whats posted you can easily ignore it and move on, any attempt to address what you find 'depressing' is certain to cause unnecessary friction. Maybe you can also consider the OP "lidl stand causing divorce' as to how the thread is likely to unfold and hence the 'funny' replies

Alternatively, many people on this thread (from the OP onwards) can consider what is humour and what is simply misogynistic claptrap.

Remind me - it is 2012, isn't it? I haven't time-warped back to 1952?

I haven't spoken to my mother-in-law for eighteen months. I don't like to interrupt her

personally i think everybody on this topic - including the op was having a laugh or a titter.

You know-this is what gets me about CC.......I have discovered so many real friends-all ready and willing to help. I'm close to tears.

Agree with most of your points. I wouldn't have singled any particular poster out though.
