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.

I fear all these knowledgable gems about fishing may encourage prolonged and excruciating droning and Snigger may not survive!

xposts Wilkie. LOL

Just my sort of thinking

RustyBear · 02/12/2008 20:32

The principal lawful methods of fishing for salmon are specified in section 1 of the 2003 Act: they are - rod and lizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 02/12/2008 20:32

Does that work for golf too then Wilkie?

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:32

By the way, my post wasn't an announcement but a suggestion for Snigger!!

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:33

He would be up there like a shot if I announced that - am 12 weeks pg and libido has run away with period

silkcushion · 02/12/2008 20:33

I thought you were a fabulous example of multi tasking Wilkie.

silkcushion · 02/12/2008 20:34

I too am 12 weeks pg and would almost prefer salmon fishing chat to sex at the moment

Winebeforepearls · 02/12/2008 20:34

'Line catches are up on most Scottish rivers dear'

or is that counter to his argument

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:35

Wiki, it would certainly garner a reaction as we live in a single-level home - the day I get a stepladder out to do the nasty, DH will surely be watching....

Feck, threadworm, that was difficult, but i did it!!

I'm laughing very hard but quietly here while he watched Dragon's Den, but his response was, for the record "Seriously? Didn't know that. They had their fishing sussed, I'd love to go back in time and learn from one of those guys."

He's still going, and I blame you, only you.

BitOfFunUnderTheMistletoe · 02/12/2008 20:37

Still talking...

Er, I have an unhealthy relationship with Google.

Wilkiepedia · 02/12/2008 20:40

Oh Snigger, rise to the challenge and adapt

"I might go and masturbate in the bath..."

OR

"I wonder if ancient fishermen enjoyed anal sex? Do you want to try it?"

(sorry, am feeling a bit rude tonight)

Don't you think I've suffered enough??

I knew it - now you've encouraged him.

I'm so sorry snigger

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 02/12/2008 20:41

pmsl. This has brightened up my dreary night I tell you

wintersapproaching · 02/12/2008 20:41

arrggh this is me right now, only DH has now got in a huff because I didnt nod at the right time (which gave my game away!)

silkcushion · 02/12/2008 20:44

Thanks for the suggestion Wilkie. I'm off for a bath - no masturbation of course! Just to defrost really - tis cold.

Good luck Snigger - one last suggestion -can't you leap up and scream and say you've seen a spider/mouse/snake to distract him
