There is much to learned about life by watching the antics of birds gathered around the bird feeder!

I disagree with most of this as it is clearly biased in favour of the offending males. Who clearly think that marriage gives them, property rights and privileges over the female/goods and chattels.

Come on Alan.

A bloke has to pay everything he has as down payment. Then everything he earns for the rest of his life as payments, & now you tell me he is not going to own anything at the end of all that.

And he can't even trade the old one in for a new model.

What a con job! Sounds like the worst hire purchase agreement ever to me.

Hassy,

How long have you been married? Is it 50 years yet, if so maybe you are a slow learner if that's what you believe.

Perhaps I should have written JOKE at the end of my comment, for those who take life too seriously.

Hassy, How's it going old cock?

I've never thought of you as a man of jocularity, are you mellowing in your old age, even become flippant. There are only 2 rules in a marriage,

Rule 1 The wife is always right.
Rule 2 Don't forget Rule 1.
