I can't find the suitable emicon for this, so please bear with me...

I should be sitting here pulling individual petals out of a daisy chanting, I love him, I love him not...

My OH has come home this evening with a present for me... apparently my squealing disc brakes on my mountain bike at the weekend were annoying him, so he has been to the bike shop and purchased me some "no squeal brake cleaner"....





I would have much preferred a box of chocolates or even a meal out... but brake cleaner?



thank you for listening... <rant mode off>

Add a dash of tonic and drink it!

I think it was very thoughtful of him, and you are being ungrateful.

Regards,
A man .

Are chocolates good for cleaning brakes then?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

the brakes were only dirty because the bike has not seen much use through August and September... it will soon stop squealing of its own accord... (well it usually does anyway)...

Well what more can be added ? except he was not completly thinking his actions through ! What I would have done is buy you both lol lets face it that would have sorted one problem and prevented the other !!! me thinks he is still in need of further training perhaps ??

Give him a gentle hint. Hit him over the head. Then whisper in his shell like CHOCOLATES OR ELSE BUSTER. . What ! Whats wrong with that?

Perhaps some jewellery?

This can work both ways. Last week my better half bought me some wet lube but I'd rather have had walnut whips. I did need the wet lube and have the walnut whips tonight.

Get some rim brakes, then use the chocolates as brake pads

 

[arch684]

buy him a present of a big box of chocs then scoff the lot yourself

I bought some lube for Miss Goodbody up the road, and I'm going round in a bit. She told me she'd got some whips in too

Did he actually say it was a present for you? Or was it a present for the bike?
