If you knew they wanted a pool, then you should have gone out and bought it. Therefore, Suzy is totally blameless and it is all your fault. :p Darn men anyways! :-5 :yh_rotfl

she snuck off and only rang me when she was about to pay for it ,i'm no kill joy but we only have a small garden and now there is no room for the dogs,which i'm worried i will find floating lifeless in the pool,we had a ten foot pool before we got the mutts and after a week no one used it and was just left there after a few months it was a green sludge puddle which had frogs and bugs living in it around it and even under it:-5:-5

Hi guys hope you are all well :-6:-6

I felt that I must come here to defend my good name :rolleyes::sneaky:

The story actually was that I got Jenna to call Jim to ask if a 15ft would fit in the garden, she came off the phone and said that Jim said it'd be fine, Jim then called me after I had paid for the item and a poor old man that nearly had a heart attack lifting it, was trying to get it in my car. Jim started saying to me that a 10ft would be a good idea, well if he had told me that 15 mins previously I would of listened.:sneaky::sneaky:

After opening the boot of the car and Jim reading the box he said that he had told Jenna that it was too big, we then asked Jenna and she admitted he did say that but she wanted the bigger one :-5

Mind you it was funny the look on his face he went a nice shade of purple in frustration :yh_rotfl



PS Pics to follow tonight lol

once again this thread has turned out in the usual way :rolleyes::rolleyes:

eg the women of fg v jimbo :D:D



here is some advice to the other down trodden fg men :D:D



The 5 questions most feared by men are: 1...What are you thinking about? 2...Do you love me? 3...Do I look fat? 4...Do you think she is prettier than me? 5...What would you do if I died?

What makes these questions so difficult is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument if the man answers incorrectly(i.e., tells the truth).

As a public service, each question is analyzed below, along with possible Responses.

Question # 1: What are you thinking about?

The proper answer to this, of course, is: "I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, thoughtful, caring, intelligent woman you are, and how lucky I am to have met you." This response obviously bears no resemblance to the true answer,which most likely is one of the following: a...Baseball. b...Football. c...How fat you are. d...How much prettier she is than you. e...How I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Perhaps the best response to this question was offered by Al Bundy, who once told Peg, "If I wanted you to know what I was thinking, I would be talking to you!"

Question # 2: Do you love me?

The proper response is: "YES!" or, if you feel a more detailed answer is in order, "Yes, dear." Inappropriate responses include: a...Oh Yeah, crap loads. b...Would it make you feel better if I said yes? c...That depends on what you mean by love. d...Does it matter? e...Who, me?

Question # 3: Do I look fat?

The correct answer is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Among the incorrect answers are: a...Compared to what? b...I wouldn't call you fat, but you're not exactly thin. c...A little extra weight looks good on you. d...I've seen fatter. e...Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 4: Do you think she's prettier than me?

Once again, the proper response is an emphatic: "Of course not!" Incorrect responses include:

a...Yes, but you have a better personality. b...Not prettier, but definitely thinner. c...Not as pretty as you when you were her age. d...Define pretty. e...Could you repeat the question? I was just thinking about how I would spend the insurance money if you died.

Question # 5: What would you do if I died?

A definite no-win question.(The real answer, of course, is "Buy a Corvette and a Boat"). WARNING: No matter how you answer this, be prepared for at least an hour of follow-up questions, usually along the these lines:

WOMAN: Would you get married again? MAN: Definitely not! WOMAN: Why not-don't you like being married? MAN: Of course I do. WOMAN: Then why wouldn't you remarry? MAN: Okay, I'd get married again. WOMAN: You would? (with a hurtful look on her face) WOMAN: Would you sleep with her in our bed? MAN: Where else would we sleep? WOMAN: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? MAN: That would seem like the proper thing to do. WOMAN: And would you let her use my golf clubs? MAN: She can't use them; she's left-handed WOMAN: - - - silence - - - MAN: Oh ( expletive deleted).
