Hahaha!, maybe include a bottle of prozac on the next shooping list, I'm thinking about it!...lol.



Cheers Axle.

Groveller !

Mums know best!! :)))))


Cheers Axle.

They sure do.
Isn't it an offence to enter an intersection on an amber light?

No ,because they can change just before you cross the white line.
If you ever go your license they will explain it to you

You wouldn't say that to hubby!!!??.






Yes you would!!..hahahahaha.





Cheers Axle.

In my case, just before we reach our letterbox.

Ian.

Hi Ian W, I would have thought that a bit too soon as you are still in the confines of the car Ha ha ha ha

Cheers

Hahahaha!, That describes 40yrs of bliss,(torture).

O9 brings 35yrs to me, but i think us poor males are just sticks standing in the the same poo!!....lol. (running for cover)


Cheers Axle.

Willem & Axle

We clock up 36 years this coming May..

There is usually one real good "clanger" from SWMBO, every year..

But still we go back...... too hard to train one, that alone another" is my attitude ..

Cheers Guys
Bucky

ps I do what ever I like..... as long as she lets me.!

Yup I trained myself to go to sleep as soon as she turns the car on, that way when she does something potentially harmful I am nice and relaxed and don't see it coming! Except the first time she met a roadtrain and swore and screamed like all blazes and woke me up as we came tearing to a stop (because she was scared of it) inches away from the armaco!

[quote]if you are all still married at the 40yr mark,[/quote]

Not Likely!

If I'm gonna be henpecked to death - i wanna die at the hands of some gal half her age and twice as good looking! ;o)

Cheers

If she accepted you Flywest, when she was half her age and twice as good looking, (marvellous what 40yrs of marriage does to a woman,) why would someone else, when you are twice her age and half as good looking?
Sheila.

Yes Viv, they are just so perfect that they even try to convince you that you were driving the car when it was 'flashed for cash.' Just as well we fems have lo.o.o.ong memories along with our other vices, huh?
Sheila.

But, But, But, Ladies!!!,......Just think, what it would be like without us?....hahahahahahaha.



Cheers Axle.

We do sometimes Axle .......its called fantasising...... but it would be bloody difficult for me to attach the bars on the towing kit without mine along!!!!

I can reverse the car onto the towball with no problems and usually do so this job (given the correct directions from the other half) but just am not strong enough to lift the bars!
And I reverse the van into the correct position when we pull up too, mostly without incident and very few arguments. (there were tears when we did it the other way as I couldnt give accurate directions and he couldnt take them!!!)

Oh and I almost forgot... I do need someone to empty the toilet cassette too!!!!!

I had a drive the other day for maybe 40kms towing the van along the Pacific Highway and was accused of ruining the fuel economy figures. Bit hard to know what it all feels like if you dont get the chance to get used to it though I reckon.
I have had many laughs reading this thread though - did it start on Friday cause it could have been in the Friday funnies.
Cheers Heather

G/Day Heather, Interesting comments on the reversing onto the tow bar, :Good on you!!. My wife is really good at backing me up until i.m two feet away, and then loses the plot by putting her hands over her face and screaming "STOP".


Just maybe i'll give her a go......lol.





Cheers Axle.

Thank you girls for your support, I just couldn't allow this thread to pass unchallenged!
Heather, I have no skills re parking vans and such so you seem to be holding our end up there. I must add that, we also had the problem of him driving, me directing, until we realised that our non-driving daughter had it down to a tee. It seems that a little bit of knowledge can be a contentious thing.
I have also taken over the emptying of the porta-loo, as I couldn't tolerate the histrionics involved with the male members' handling of this chore. Talk about road rage, that has nothing on loo hysterics. The use of Bio-Magic certainly makes this job less onerous these days.
Many years ago, girl-friend and I took our kids (5) to Maroochydore for a few days away, while our men folk slaved away on board ship. We had two passenger vans, Mitsu and Toyo, set one up as our base with annexe etc., and the other was our transporter. I still fondly remember those stress-free days like no others, it was a holiday without equal yet! Can you imagine five kids together and not one temper tantrum? Well, it is possible! Believe me!
Sheila.

To Axle - if you give your wife a go at the reversing thing, she will be OK so long as you dont stuff up the directions!!!
It is quite amusing to drive into a place, swap positions, and get the thing parked without trauma while being watched (mostly by men). They congratulate me but not too many seem keen on letting their wives do it! (Maybe they are worried that the women will do the job better!!!!)
We dont often stay in van parks anymore but sometimes the campgrounds in National parks or free camps are more difficult due to trees etc.

And now to Sheila.
how do you lift the toilet cassette down from the hatch thingy?? I dont think I am a weakling but it must weigh at least 15 kg and I am worried I wouldnt be able to pull it out and get it to ground level without dropping it! Wouldnt like to have it split and the contents spill over the place! Now that would be entertaining!
(NOT)
Cheers heather

Heather, ours is a Porta-Potti, and I get Himself to carry it to the designated tipping point after he has dug a nice deep hole first, of course, then I take care of 'business,' very carefully, too! It can be done without splashback and the attendant 'hissy fits,' which I thought, in the beginning, were a necessary part of the ritual.
The first time I did it, without Himself being present, and daughter and I dug the hole, emptied the convenience, and left no footprints, holes in walls or broken handy objects. We bush camp in solitude on private properties (with the owners permission) mostly, and to cut down on loo-loading, daughter and I use a little bucket inside the bowl of the potty for no 1's, which we empty under a bush when we finish. The potti will last much longer between re-loads using this method. I have noticed that Himself enjoys the usual long session camping on the potti as much as he does the one at home.
Sheila.
