I hope we can get some play in this week - there's only so much Close Combat Battle of the Bulge a horse can stand
Sex in the City is on tonight so I'm probably out.

We await his nickname with interest. Well, some of us do. I guess.

It was buggered a couple of hours ago. Posts were taking 20 minutes to get through. There's been a lot of that lately.
Ten minutes later:
In fact, it's doing it again now.

What a rip-off. You should be ashamed of yourself.

It took me a while to nut out my Civ strategy. It turned out to be remarkably simple. I make a serial pest of myself. End result: "For goodness sake, go and play Civilisation or something!"
Of course, as you know, Mrs finbar isn't of the physical and/or verbal abuse ilk. Ergo, my tactic might not work in certain other households.

My tactics are similar - follow her around, hang around, talk to her, do housework badly until she can't stand it anymore.

You know what really really sh*ts me? I only polished up my cooking skills as a means of having her say: "What a delightful dinner! You've sated my gastronomic needs such that I'll do the dishes while you whip off and play some Civ with your chums!".
The reality is, she - her gastronomic needs sated - passes out on the couch for a kip leaving me to do the dishes - having already slaved over the stove for 3 hours - before I sneak upstairs, turn down the computer's volume, and cross my fingers one of Hydey's nuclear strikes doesn't wake her.

Any project involving men understanding women must be doomed to failure.
Similarly, Hydey must never be allowed to get nukes again

I have been known on the odd occasion, from time to time, to wish I had the technical expertise to hack into Hydey's Civ software and delete his nuclear - that's new-queue-lar, for our American lads and lasses who listen to their President - option, but that's just me.

Except to access his 1,000,000 Mb of garden knowledge. That's what I'd like to do.
