Well me personally if I caught one I’d take her to the pub and get her to get the beer in, beer is best as they say 
My motorbike was a 1953 Norton. 65 flat out and no back suspension. I took a side car off it that was bigger than a bungalow. By the time We got to Dovedale my girl had enough . She rode back in my mates Triumph side car. He ended up marrying her. Meriden ruled in those days. Jim.
P.S. I swapped it for a Rover 90. Good car that.
I sold a Greeves 325 cc motorbike for this 1100 engined A35 van at 18, as I passed my car test at 17, motorbike at 16. Great van, a passion wagon. 
Cheers Dave.

You look like you could have been in Manfred Mann or the Dave Clark Five with that mop of hair Dave
All my mates had long hair Pete, most of the time I had a full crew cut, as I have now, but my then girlfriend insisted I grow my hair longer which I did for the six years that I was with her, but never longer hair than that.I don’t like long hair, down to the wood for me. 
Cheers Dave.

That was 50 years ago Jim.I’m four stone heavier now, and have been for forty years also quite a bit uglier.
Cheers Dave.

look on the bright side pete , think how much you’re saving on shampoo , and when you wash your face in a morning do your head at the same time . i’m speaking from experience mine did a disappearing act years ago . i keep threatening to shave the remnants off altogether but 'er indoors says i look bad enough now , don’t make it any worse .dave
I made a slight ‘tactical error’ today! 
My good lady’s washing flannel had gone a little threadbare so I got her a new one and took the old one for rag, I normally use her old discarded pants for rag as well, and she asked me if I had used the flannel today while cleaning some car parts. My, quite innocent, reply was that “It was OK, but not as good as your knickers are because it isn’t as large” which is true but of course she took it the wrong way! I wonder how women are capable of taking perfectly logical statements and ‘adjusting them’ to mean something totally different, must be a knack that they are born with? 
Pete.

Women and nasty Dogs Pete, you never know with them. Stroke them, they might wag their tail, or bite you. Best to keep a whip and a chair handy.
Cheers Dave.

Well Pete, that’s another tactical error, If you start buying them new things they’ll come to expect it on a regular basis. The correct thing to have done would have been just to take the flannel AND TELL HER she needed a new one (see paragraph 3 in my best selling book “The Yorkshire way of handling wimmin”
But full marks for bravery, I wouldn’t go anywhere near Mrs GOM’s britches 
i shall be turning to you for advice brian . mrs rigsby has just sent two big bags of clothes that she’s "grown out of " to the charity shop . i am expecting demands in the near future for replacements for said clothes . my take is that she couldn’t wear them anyway and she still managed ok . is it time to put my foot down with a firm hand ?. not been doing too bad so far though , she kept nagging for a new stove , so when a neighbour who had recently had a new stove passed away suddenly i got a bid in sharpish and got it at a knock down price . i’ll never be a yorkshireman but i do my best .! dave
Treat em mean…Keep em keen.
And, if the old clothes that “she’s grown out of” have gone to the charity shop she should have got a new set that fitted her while she was delivering the clothes to the aforementioned shop.
Seriously, A friend who has a small courier business buys a lot of his "designer"clothes and shoes from charity shops, most of it in new condition at a fraction of the new price.
I had bad news this week, but nothing like that we shared with Ang. Us “boys” can ride the bad times. Bare up , all of you . Age is our enemy. Jim.
