    Would the wife drop you and collect you from pub if taxis were scarse

    I live in a fairly rural area and used to chance 3 pints but herself started droping me down lately its not the same its nearly like too much hassel.

    She used to regularly until kids came along, now she cant collect me as kids are in bed, but she still drops me off

    Yeah when I go for pints after work or at the weekend. I do the same for her. Time with your mates is important to us both.

    In the UK back in 1967 the breathalyser was introduced and the report from the car show of that year reckons that this was the year when women "would have their say in what goes". Followed by monumental, near comedy levels of sexism. Basically her indoors will drive you home after you've had a skinful.


    Mind you I would give my left spherical organ of generation for that Lamborghini Marzal prototype.

    Though Lamborghini himself was unhappy with it reckoning all that glass meant a lady's legs would be visible to the public. :eek: Note too a Ford electric car and again the voiceover notes "it's only got two pedals; go and stop. Couldn't be easier for the wife"...

    Ahh.. the past, when men were men and women were wondering WTactualF? :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I'd pick the husbag up no bother providing its not too late, then it's a taxi. He only drinks once or twice a year so I don't mind, I would do it or expect it every week. He'd do the same for me.

    "Only two pedals, go and stop. Couldn't be easier for the wife." :pac:

    Yes she drives me to drink


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,821 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    Yes if it was during the day .
    If it was night time she'd drop me but not collect me which is fair enough as she'd be in bed


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,269 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    I'm sure she would if she could drive!

    We do it for each other, we live in a rural location so we have to.

    Being busy with a newborn means we don't go out much now. I think I've asked her to pick me up twice since August, even then they were early starts and early finishes. We are going to pick each other up from our Christmas parties in the next few weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Not since the nippers came along, but we have done frequently in the past. Collection would be less regular because the other party would be sleeping or scooping themselves!

    The option's not there now cos the kids are in bed.

    it wouldn't be something i would do no..

    Only trouble is, if you got up to anything in that car the whole world could see you. You might find yourself starring in a You Tube video,
