Nope. Just don't go there. What you believe to be complimentary might well turn out the opposite.Jakerbeef wrote:Duh, unless it's complimentary, silly!

It is a tricky minefield I will grant you. Bit like when asked which of two outfits you prefer - you will get it wrong...Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Nope. Just don't go there. What you believe to be complimentary might well turn out the opposite.Jakerbeef wrote:Duh, unless it's complimentary, silly!

and surely that's the point.. a woman only asks a bloke which of two outfits he prefers so that she can confidently wear the other one...Gooner Girl wrote:It is a tricky minefield I will grant you.

Yes, but the 99.9999999999999999999999999% of the times you get it wrong mean you have to be seriously getting something out of getting it right to make it worth itJakerbeef wrote:Therein lies the rub...if you get it right.

I just say "don't wear that", and then a bit later "..or that". Is that why I get pans chucked at me?
That's not a leopard!

I've discovered that the missus now expects me actually to look up before I say "that one"... (as if it makes a difference!)

Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ev
Oddly, however, the woman's .... by this stage almost imperceptible, raise of the eyebrow which means "you aren't actually planning wearing that, are you ?" (which, of course REALLY means, "no, go & change") seems to be 100% accurate.Gooner Girl wrote:It is a tricky minefield I will grant you.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Just keep your mouth shut and eyes down. The 'you're not paying attention' moan is far less severe than saying summat wrong.Lost Leopard Spot wrote:Is this a skillset I need to develop.Abdoulaye's Twin wrote:Yes, but the 99.9999999999999999999999999% of the times you get it wrong mean you have to be seriously getting something out of getting it right to make it worth itJakerbeef wrote:Therein lies the rub...if you get it right.![]()

Just FYI lads, the correct answer is 'you look beautiful in whatever you wear, my darling'
Re: Diving Arsenal Players - The Least Shocking Admission Ev
Mrs Enoch has long since stopped asking me that type of stupid question; it hasn't stopped her asking other types of stupid question though.

I don't think "why do you support such a rubbish football team Dear?" is such a daft question...Enoch wrote:Mrs Enoch has long since stopped asking me that type of stupid question; it hasn't stopped her asking other types of stupid question though.

How about, 'Why do you want to go out playing when there are so many practical things you could be doing?' and other similar offerings?

I got the "Do y'know, we hardly see each other these days" as I was about to leave for the walking the dog to the pub ritual. It didn't go down very well at all when I answered with "That's why our marriage has lasted so long dear".Enoch wrote:How about, 'Why do you want to go out playing when there are so many practical things you could be doing?' and other similar offerings?
