DH is droning on and on and on and I'm looking at him and nodding while I type this, save me from this monologue hell.

For better for worse?

In the words of Jim Royle - my Arse!

Anyone have an opinion on the politics of salmon netting versus line-fishing?

No?

Thought not.

Wilkie - I have perfected the art of looking like I give a fuck when Dh drones on about golf. Listening to golf is as boring as playing golf.

You know, I almost want to get busted .

Apparently it's something to do with blah blah political undercurrents blah river-owning cliques blah environmental blah structure.

Say: 'The Sioux language has no word for a female salmon netter but four for a female line-fisher. I've just read it on the internet.'

A bit of wee situation ....

DH's response to I love eggs?

"Eh?"

"I love eggs too, they're kind of peasant food, peasants, bloody hell, when are we going to get back to bread and cheese and eggs in this country, speaking of eggs, I'm treading on eggshells with this river crap..."

and you get the picture.....

Next suggestion?

All roads appear to lead to Rome.
