It's Mrs T's birthday today!

I bought her some dry lube, apparently this was not a good idea on so many levels! :oops:

    Try wet lube next year, that may be more her style.

    If you were a real man she wouldn't need any lube.

    If she was a real woman she'd prepare/fluff herself accordingly.

    However, in times of hardship, if something arises from the wife and is a bit dry I normally advocate custard.

    I don't see what the fuss is about. If you do an online search for something like "worst gifts ever" then dry lube doesn't appear - so you could have done worse....

    Reminds me of a story a honeymoon couple we met some years ago told us. Third day of honeymoon in Maldives keen soccer playing hubby strained groin showing locals just how skilled we Brits are at football (on the shingle they called a pitch)

    Later, with hubby rolling round on bed in "some discomfort", new wifey discovered and helpfully applied his Deep Heat to the affected area.

    Once hubby had returned to our planet he apparently explained the error of her ways.

    Have to say I had to question what was wrong with his sense of smell as she approached...

    I once treated Mrs Tank to a day at a health spa for the works.

    She came home looking and feeling like she'd had a good duffing up. Don't ever do that again was the advice I was given.

    Gratitude for ya hey! :roll:

    She got a bottle of brandy an a bouquet of flowers (amongst a load of clobber and a meal out) the year after which were far better recieved.

    My BH wanted a patio so...I bought her some paving slabs.

    She then complained that she needed help so... I bought her a slab lifter.

    Its impossible to buy presents for women because they are like wheelbarrows - difficult to push and dead easy to upset.

    Don't know about years, she has already left me standing on a hill! I will be ready next time.

    I may have to 'adjust' that bike, what are the best downgrades! :twisted:

    Mrs OTBA got a lovely set of stainless steel pans for Chrimbo one year.
    Apparently, despite the fact we needed them, it wasn't right!

    Dunno what her problem is. The following Xmas's (or even the subsequent Valentines Days) you could have got her a set of scouring pads to keep pans clean and gleaming. Thereby, in terms of joy and happiness, surely they are presents that just keep on giving.

    Our vacuum cleaner packed in shortly before christmas a couple of years ago, so we decided to get a new one. Soon enough a big shiny Dyson box arrived at work, as all online purchases do. I told my colleagues that it was Mrs Bomp's christmas present, and I've never had such abuse from women before or since :-)
