Fitted sheets

[Trudes]

Maybe it's a Hornet owner quirk.... I do the same thing.

Well he's GONE! poor bugger, what a silly thing to do, covering an oily chained bike with the wifes Best Fitted Sheet.
Oh well, next?
Anyone else got any tales that might end in murder?
Come on Sam, tell us what happened.

Women just don't understand these things.

I am having a similar problem with Mrs Ixion at present. It has become imperative that I purchase a milling machine. A simple , yet essential item. Yet from her response (basically 'No way') you would think that I was suggesting something entirely frivolous.

And yet, she is entirely happy (and indeed actively suggests) to comtemplate spending money on boring and unnecessary stuff like freezers and dishwashers. We already HAVE a freeezer . And a dishwasher. But we DON'T have a milling machine.

The logic seems self evident to me. But not, apparently to her. Even showing her the blister on my palm, caused by have to file down fitments because I have no milling machine, did not elict the agreement that any reaonable person would expect.

Nor, without arousing domestic disharmony can I just quietly go and buy one

Mrs Ixion maintains a close and suspicious watch over the bank account. She seem to imagine that left to my own devices I would spend it all on bikes and tools. Which of course is silly. I would not spend it all on bikes and tools, there would need to be some for beer.

I haven't even dared to mention the TIG welder.

Women just don't understand financial prioritisation.

New curtains , duvets and sheets are more important than frivolous things like new tyres, clutch repairs etc.

Faaark Maha is a Metrosexual. mmmm never new that.

TOP FACT: The word Metrosexual has nothing to do with having sex with trains.

...fitted sheets are easy to fold

Absolute bollocks. They are the work of the liarbour party & the debbil combined. Simply cannot be done.

In a nurse's uniform?

Can you send some photos...?

I do have pics...

Only Maha gets to see them

Mate, I'm going to have to spell it out for you!

Ever heard of Mother's Day? What about Mrs. Ixion's birthday, or Christmas?

Buy her a nice milling machine for any of the above occasions! Sorted!

Sounds like you need to be more creative with your accounting? I suggest a suck-fund type arrangement. Siphon off a little bit each week with something innocuous, then when the mill appears, act like it was there all along!

A mill is just one of those things. There are some jobs that you just cannot do without a mill.

Edit: OOOhhh hey, I like Pussy's idea of the Mother's-Day-Mill... Sounds brilliant. The TIG welder may have to wait till the mushroom cloud has cleared though. On the other hand, you can get those all-in-one AC/DC TIG/Arc/Plasma cutter units now, they look pretty damn useful...

What a fantastic Idea. I can see it

Just tell her all the things she could do around the house with a TIG welder ...
