Wifely 'logic'

Buy her a 2nd hand lada and have done with it.

Such a contradictory term !

Just showed this to my wife for her opinion and it was : " He should have told the dealer to either get the car round or keep it. Plenty of Bmw dealers about.". So now you know.

Feisty! A woman's logic knows no bounds. Whatever happens it always our fault. 

Depends where you live.  After all, I want somewhere reasonably local for when something (inevitably) goes wrong.  That's one of the reasons I'm getting shut of my Volvo, because the nearest dealer is getting on for 30 miles away now.

She's a non-driver.  She took her test once in 1974 and failed.  Cancelled her next test becacause of morning sickness.  Never been behind the wheel since, but still tries to tell me how to drive!

Dungassin, maybe your significant other had really high expectations of you doing your best to honor and celebrate with her International Women's Day. All I'm saying, let's not be too quick to dismiss the boss here.

Mars...  Venus...   n'er the two shall meet.    Never was a truer word said. 

She's giving me (not so subtle) hints that it's Mothering Sunday.  I just told her "you're not MY mother".  Living dangerously, eh?  

That's an understatement.

You see? It's probably not at all related to the car. Doesn't mean you're in the clear of course, but there are other ways to buy her love and yourself out of trouble.

EJ

Ain't that the truth.

It's never related to with the subject that you think is the problem and it's usually too late when you finally realise what the real problem is.

As a friend of mine used to say, "If they didn't have a ***** there would be a bounty on 'em."

Not always the case, mind you, but often enough so that's why those who have seriously pro hi-fi women (or are themselves) have our undying admiration...

Wifely logic. The best oxymoron since 'military intelligence'?

On the basis of your comments it might be better if you guys continue to avoid contact with women.

To add to my earlier post......The older women get the more they moan. I remember back last Dec when we were sorting out our lads Christmas meal for about 12 of us one idiot asked if we were going to invite our other halfs along. My reply to him was why did he want to spoil the evening.

My favourite oxymoron is 'Honest Politician' 

Actually, I get along very well with SWMBO most of the time.  It's just that occasionally she says something or behaves (IMO) completely unreasonably.  I daresay she could say the same thing about me.  Don't want to annoy her too much ATM, as I have recently decided not to prolong my long-term savings policy with Prudential (didn't want to tie the money up until I'm 75!), hence the money for the new car.  I need to broach the subject of either a Supercap for my 282, or possibly replacing it with a 552 before the annual price increase.  The rest will be added to our ISAs, etc.

Incidentally, with regard to these savings policies, is the payout taxable?  I think I'll have to ask my accountant.

One of the greatest quotes I have ever heard in my life, such that I wish I had a tape of it, came from the lips of a dear lesbian friend of mine, who was having great trouble with her other half, and this IS a direct quote:

"I never felt so sorry for guys until I started dating girls.  Guys are easy...you feed 'em, you f*** 'em, and you pat 'em on the head once in a while and tell him he's doing good.  With girls, nothing works!"

The defense rests, your honor...

Sounds like one hell of a woman Dr M !

Buy a Honda or Toyota. You won't care where the dealer is because they are so reliable. Better still, don't buy a car at all.

+1 for winky's suggestion - I am about to sell my 1999 Honda CR-V with 175,00 miles on it, and if I price in at ~$3,800 it won't be mine in less than a week.  They just run, and people know it.

Well, I finally had my test drive today.  Unfortunately was the Automatic version, and it's been 7 years since I last drove one of those.  Kept hitting the brake pedal trying to declutch!  Very nice car, and I've ordered one.  Should get it mid or late April.

Sorry, Dr Mark (a fellow medic), but if I wanted a Honda, I would have kept my Volvo - still going strong with no problems.  If I applied the 'Honda' principle to my HiFi, I would never have reached the relatively high levels I have achieved in my 2 Naim setups.  Which reminds me ... must book an audition of Supercap (into 282) vs 555 with Cymbiosis ...

The new car is really just self-indulgence.  SWMBO liked it very much.  She's picked the colour, but everything else is my choice.  

Got back home to a message from my Financial Adviser that he needed updated photocopies of our passports.  As my HP6L doesn't work with Windows 8, I set out to copy them using my Canon Scanner and Canon S900 printer.  Didn't work, because it printed what looked like standard spacing ruled lines across the length of the paper.  Did the obvious - deep cleaning cycle (x 3 ! ) didn't cure , so I tried cleaning it yet again, whereupon it decided to no longer feed the paper, and just make whirring noises.  It had obviously died, so out I went and bought a new Epson all-in-one (XP-700), as this was one of the only ones they had in stock at PCWorld that would work with Wndows 8, and that matched my size requirement.  I had to have it today, so couldn't wait for an on-line source to deliver one.

SWMBO says I broke my S900 deliberately!  Why would I do that when I've got 4 sets of (now useless) spare ink cartridges for it?  Wifely 'logic' again ...
