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.

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:17

PMSL - I do this with DH all the time although his topic is usually golf!!

hollyivypoppy34 · 02/12/2008 20:17

pinkfrogsroastingonanopenfire · 02/12/2008 20:18

Mine tells me shot for shot every ball he played in his pool match every Friday morning.

I had the delights of crayfishing the other night

DH "Crayfish... blah blah blah drone drone"

DH "You are NOT listening to a word I say,are you?"

Moi-"nope" *continues reading mn

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 02/12/2008 20:18

What will you do if he catches you posting about him? You'll get busted you know

TheCrackFox · 02/12/2008 20:18

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.

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:19

Posh - worse still, he suddenly says 'Do you think so?' ARGHHHH and I have no idea what he has said!!

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:19

TheCrack - feel my pain, DH is a Golf Pro!

snigger · 02/12/2008 20:20

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.

There you go.

Could be worse, could be golf

"Hmmm,yes dear"

hollyivypoppy34 · 02/12/2008 20:22

snigger · 02/12/2008 20:22

Threadworrm · 02/12/2008 20:27

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.'

snigger · 02/12/2008 20:28

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.
