Husband is a biker. Trouble is, someone bought him the 'Long Way Down' DVD. This is the one with Charlie Fucking Boring and Ewan Useless McGreggor. Now Soft Arse has announced that he too wants to ride his bloody motorbike to Cape Town. I tried humoring to start with, but he really is serious.

is he being selfish or should I let him follow his dreams?

You have my sympathies, susan. My DH and my dad are both bikers, and they would apparently have done that journey "properly- without poncy first-aiders and cameramen etc" Hmm

Just as they are going to do coast-to-coast, or South America (can't remember the names of the myriad of men-on-steel-chargers books that give them these ideas) DH also plans to hike across the frozen tundras, sail around the world on a yacht made of yogurt pots, and climb Everest one day after dinner. I tell him I'm sure he will, and smile encouragingly. He can follow his dreams- in his head!

I bet your DH will never do it. If he is really determined, you could always suggest a trial run through scotland. He camps, you and the kids stay in nice hotels and travel by car. A few nights at the mercy of the midges will soon wise him up.

A serious question. Could someone please explain how we've gone from wanting to ride a motorbike to Cape Town to shagging midgets. I mean, wtf.

"Sorry listening, you're right. But to be fair you did bring midget sex into it. "

Actually it was my ex!
Northern Rock did ask. They`re the funny little green men running around near the start where Dorothys Shack Landed on the wicked witch. Good job nobodys asked me to expand on water sports lol!

Sorry.
Susan. My advice is: Say yes dear to everything-chances are it won't happen. If it does, then lay your plans to pedalo to Zanzibar on him while he takes care of the family.
He won't have a leg to stand on. (Not a land mine joke.)

Hi, thanks for your contribution. How we came to shagging midgets is anyones guess. Yes, he has looked at that, following the Atlantic route. I'm told that there are mine fields to cross in the Western sahara!!

Sudan's a bit dangerous isn't it? I wouldn't go there. Seriously.

Why doesn't he cross the Sahara and go down through Senegal?

Crikey Blimey to the Munchkin porn.

OP, my Ex regularly did this. Told everyone he was entering the marathon, wanted to spend money we didn't have on fancy trainers and running machines. He never once moved his idle arse off the sofa and years later has never done a single thing he wittered on about. Nod, smile, suggest he starts to make some plans and don't spend any money yet. I know you've tried the humouring thing but how about suggesting a few shorter runs 'for training'? Scotland in midge season with a holey tent might work.

No Thingummy, it wasn't that, cos Trainspotting was released very soon after. In fact, he told me he was in this film and I thought "yawn, actors" and the next week the Trainspotting posters were all over the Tube. Maybe it was 1998 then.

But as I say, allegedly.

Sorry listening, you're right. But to be fair you did bring midget sex into it.

Not really susan. I am merely saying he allegedly smoked a spliff in 1997.
