to think that men should come up with beteer gossip than this.........

[flubdub]

Im always going on about how dp never tells me anything juicy. He must come across something intersting every now and then.
SO...
Hes goes to his friends house the other night, how I know, but not really .
And when he comes home, he says, "Heres a bit of gossip for you. You know (friends names) dad?"
Me - "No."
Dp - "You know (insert girls name)?
Me - "No."
Dp - "Well he lent (girls) parents 8K and theyre refusing to give it back, and bought a car with the money."

So the long and short of it was, someone I dont know lent someone else I dont know some money.
Gossip?
I think not.

they are rubbish at gossip, dp used to work in a pub that all our friends drank in, loads of great gossip to be had - it all passed him by!

Oh mine is the same. Also - he can never remember what anyone's house was like. What's THAT about? I want to know..I NEEEEEEEED to know.

sorry, should be 'WHO I know' not HOW

lol Hecate. I do that too.
"Is it a dump inside?"

Lol.

DH has been known to provide some juicy stuff every now and again.

My first question is "What's the living room like?"
He ALWAYS replies "I can't remember."

After TEN fecking years, you would think that he would remember I'm going to ask and go into a house and take some notice!

My second question is always "Did you say anything about me?" (clearly I'm an ego-maniac)

Oh, what is this obsession? DW always asks me what people's houses were like. FGS, like I'm going to notice that. Or care.

Well you should. Because then when she asks, you can tell her and she won't want to bite you and kick your ankle.

my DP is exactly the same, he will be on the phone to his mother who is the fountain of all gossip, he can be on the phone to her for an hour - i can tell by his responses that there is gossip taking place, real juicy, back stabbing gossip, he will get off the phone and i will be there, desperate for a morsel, i will be "what did she say what did she say", him" oh, nothing much" it drives me mental!! I then have to spend the whole evening trying to extract snippets from him. Its not that he doesnt want to gossip or pass it on, but i think he actually just switches off because his mum can talk more than me and DP said that he used to put his phone on the bed when i used to phone him "(we had a long distance relationship).

But - it - doesn't - MATTER!

poor LEM!!
lol Hecate, I do THAT too!!
"Did she mention me?" lololol

Another one is

DH "oh x from work's wife had a baby boy today!"

ME: "oooh lovely how much did he weigh?"

DH: "oh he never said"

DH is actually crap on gossip but good on peoples houses he likes to know if they are tidier than ours.

of course it bloody matters! I have a terrible confession to make actually. I used to work as a vet nurse and i would always volunteer to do house calls with the vet, which usually meant we were putting someones animal to sleep, just so that i could nosey in their houses. Its like an obsession, but i coudlnt help it. Actually it wasn't just me, the nurses used to fight over it [deep shame]

i need a cleaner, yep, ive suffered that one, to the extent where DP will end the phone call not knowing the sex, weight or name of the baby WTF???

My DP spent the whole day this week with the DH of somebody I haven't seen in years but can't stand. He found out NOTHING!!
I'm desperate to find out if he mentioned me but haven't got up the nerve to ask yet...

ASK sherbet!

Oooh, DH scores on houses too....only I'm not that interested, lol.

if you want good gosip from men make sure they are gay first. Men don't chat or gossip unless it is about them or their hair and is 100% positive.

DH is not gay.

obviously

Just asked, he never mentioned me! Totally understandable but how could he go the whole day and not mention me
And he didn't find out the names of their children, for some reason I'm desperate to know that

Now, you see, carpet patterns can go and get fLIcked, but this I can understand. When DW goes out with groups of friends I always ask "did you talk about me?" And if she says "no" I can't understand it. How can she go the whole evening and not mention me??!

my friends dh came up to me and said x had her baby. i asked if it was a boy or girl. i got "eeerrr it was a baby". noooo i thought it was a bowling ball.... you numpty! had then to try and get my friend to find out.....

He says although he wasn't mentioning me he was thinking about me
That is no use!

He should be saying how wonderful I am

I thought it was a man thing but if your DW doesn't mention you it can't be.

See, you are online and you have mentioned her

lol sherbet
