Erm, isn't that why they invented the Pub.

Dear Majorie Proops,

I was watching the Moto GP on sunday and expected a bit of peace when in walks my wife and picks up the remote control and turns it up "I might as well hear it" she says and then never shut up.

"Are they really doing 210mph". Yes.
"why does Rossi sick out his foot before cornering". Dunno
"Do you lean over that far when you go round a roundabout". Not quite
"ooo, I bet that hurt". More than likely dear.
Etc....
Now, I love my wife to bits and we have been together for 19 years and have nothing in common. When we met our tastes in everything was different, I liked women she liked men (result) I liked the Stone Roses she preferred the Happy Mondays, I liked it when we did different things. Motorbikes are my only sole pursuit (I am so selfish that I refuse to have pillion insurance), my one last refuge has been invaded. What do I do now, how do I tell her not to like something because i do I might as well give it up. Should I keep her onside so that when I want to spend fourteen grand on a Ducati it will be easier to justify?

Confused of Worcester

... KEEP WOMEN OUT OF SPORT.

Or at least watching it with their husband.

I'm sat there, dejected, annoyed, sad, angry, having just seen my side (England cricket team) beaten by their own mediocre middle order batting, bad weather, and the Duckworth Lewis.

I'm chuntering, pacing about, obviously distressed and unhappy, and what does Mrs DRB say?

'Never mind'.

NEVER BLOODY MIND!!!!

She might as well have said 'it's only a game'!!!!!

Yesterday it was cricket, last month football, in your house it might be golf, or table tennis, or crown green bowling. But you just wouldn't get that kind of flippant post-defeat attitude from a man.
