Sorry for thinking you slagged the players off, whilst giving there all for the cause, I don't know what got into me I was obviously mistaken.
Although at one stage today I nearly sent one to myself with a similar accusation !
I'm off to bed now, back on Wednesday no doubt, to put the world to rights.
Nite Nite Mr Snowy, hope this apology makes you sleep easier

not enough grovelling

Howay Mr Snowy are we still friends I want to go to bed , and how come you never asked Mr Dougpaddy for an apology earlier today on the "can someone explain thread ?"

sorry mr snowy has left the building

Apology accepted. As for the wait, well. you kept me waiting for no logical reason.
As for Dugoutpaddys' view, that's what it was, his view... I HAVE MINE AND HE HAS HIS....and from past posts I know we'll agree on somethings and disagree on others, no problem, as we're both after the same destination, just via different routes. But at no point has he ever accused me of something I have never said .

Agreed !

I thought it was only our wives who could accuse any of us of saying something we didn't and use it as a statement of fact!!!! Also twist meanings around and use them as statements of malice and intent!!!!!!
Women, eh?

Men are ALWAYS saying things that later they have no recollection of whatsoever! But then, women ask so much of them....like, can they be on automatic pilot for something less than 75% of the time?

In my case I'm 99% on autopilot with our lass.... but I have passive hearing in case anything intersting comes up...it hasn't yet

someone needs to invent a crap information filter, it would save an awful lot of my time.

'Crap information'...that's the word, have you noticed how women make the most impact when they are 'in one' and don't speak...you end up begging them to speak because the droning background sound of their 'conversation' helps you sleep.

You see the real problem is marriage. I've thought abuot this a bit. There's something counter-intuitive about marriage, or any similar relationship, because it presupposes it's possible to live harmoniously with other people around all the time

I think I'll create a retreat for folk who just like to be alone a lot with their own thoughts. There'll be a common room you can use whenever you feel like an argument or a quick chat, otherwise you can just retire to your own room with your books and head phones

I've already done that.. ..if you go in our back garden you walk so far down and go down the steps to the lower garden and there in the corner amongst the trees is my own bunker...the kids call it the 'Loveshack'.....you only get in by invitation and the wife got a life ban for finding the key when I was at work and putting 'cafe nets' on the windows... IT'S NEARLY AS GOOD AS WORKING ON A LIGHTHOUSE ...except you can't anymore.....
