It seems that the big green shed doesn't only pose a threat to some of our national days, now it is being accused of threatening the very cornerstone of our society (well it used to be anyway), marriage!!:o

Very entertaining.Thank you!!
Then there was the very elderly woman who, when asked what funeral arrangements she wanted, astounded everyone by asking to be buried in the tool aisle at Blunderings.
"At least my sons will visit my grave once a week"she assured the family.:o:o
Between Bunnies and the Forum time there has got to be little workshop time :D
Years ago it would have been I am just popping down the Pub/Club back in an hour :roll:
Can't win can we
That was good and probaly a true story word for word.
Phew.
I showed my wife that story.Now she knows ,I am not the only guy on earth like this.
She thought she was married to an alien (outer space)
Jeez, I'm in trouble, I had the Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopedia and read every book, cover to cover, over about a three year period.
I drove the old girl batty with questions, day in and day out:D
Mick.
SWMBO would say you lot have a lot to answer for, Wongo has much to answer for on Fridays, Skew has much to answer for when he's around here :cheers2: :; , C/Tec has a lot too.
A brief summary of the above - it's only the depth that varies. :o
Does Bunnings threaten marriage? No, in fact it teaches lower expectations, which should be a plus.
Strike up an agreement with the wife, you go clothes shopping with her, then she goes to Bunnings with you.
You can stop at every asile and handle the items ... just like they do when clothes shopping... even have them hold some items for you .. walk arround some more .. then put them back .. just like they do.
Seems fair to me ... equal time spent.
Don't really know. I say I'm goning to Bunnies and SWMBO usually replies 'you're not taking my car" (actually it's my company car not hers) so I have to take the old truck(2 seater landcrusier) and that's when SWMBO(8years) and HWMBO(4years) start the fight to see who is going to go. SWMBO then finally has enough and I get to take both of them and she has to drive the old truck.
Bunnies have a lot to answer for in putting in a play ground (thats all the kids want) and I cop it when we all finally get back home (usually after a couple of hours) and I didn't even buy any thing.
Ahhhh.. to sit and dream in a hardwhare store.............
Just hope they don't put a bar in there...........
Why cant she read between the lines? He goes to Bunnings to get away from her minipulation and poor attempts at comedy in her online articles. She should stop trying to analyse the male psyche with her whining friends and just allow him some time to himself.
On a side note: Before people go straight to Bunnings to buy more clutter they don't need, they should visit they're local independent hardware store. Why buy 100pc packet of screws when you only need a dozen? A lot of the time the job will work out cheaper and the quality is usually far better!
What is all the Fuss About
Like someone else said,We could be down the pub every night,OR even worse!:D
SHMBOs' would be more worried if we were the ones going to female clothing shops,picking out a dress etc and feeling the material of every artical in the shop
I believe we are far better off spending our time in Bunnys and our workshop
and SHMBO spending money on nice clothes for herself.That keeps us happy as well
seeing the boss looking nice in her new clothes.:)
I left a few words out of this:o:oo:
Just wait till they discover Carbatec, Ideal Tools, Lee Valley, etc. :2tsup:
am i the only one who doesnt like them?? search and find the place for whatever, only 2or none left and need ten. mitre ten is smaller [cairns ]but a whole lot easier and friendlier. the local bunnings have the layouts reversed why??not a fan . cheers bob
Maybe thats what you get for living in a place that has bad weather one day shocking the next.:punching::yuk:Quote:
