The good old days…

I found this tucked into Brenda’s Good News Bible. She tells me that it is the advice on which “many a good marriage has been based”… OHMYGOD!
This sort of advice does not apply to everyone – clearly! Although Froginthefield assures me that her man finds a night in rollers assures the perfect combover (gasp).

OHMYGOD! -removes rollers, face mask and eye mask-
Can you have a kettle with a timer of some description? I like my sleep!
And as for pleasure… I am scarred. For life. I refuse to be a nun! Waaah.

Polly dear,
OHMYGOD! I REFUSE to allow you to purchase a kettle for the bedroom. Get yourself one of these for your bedside cabinet. http://www.hotta.co.uk/ Haven’t you heard? A hotta tap is all the rage!
Polly said,
I’m not having a tap in my bedroom- that is so, so, so NOCD I can’t quite believe! I will send the link to my mother for our shiny new kitchen though- who needs a kettle?

Why not just place a blow up rubber doll into the bed shortly before one’s husband is set to retire. One doubts, given the advice here, that the selfish eld fart would notice the difference. One could then head off out on the prowl to find someone with a pulse, a sense of humour and pretty hot in the boudoir department.

Hilarious yet oddly disturbing. Thankfully we have moved on. Being obedient and uncomplaining to unusual practices? Blimey, I’d have a few things to say to any husband expecting that!!

Oh dear!! Just waiting with baited breath for the melanie philips article in the mail re how the fall of clvillisation can be laid at the door of us women who refuse to submit to that model of married life!!

Darling Husband does not have a comb-over!!
you are mean and cruel. And I was so kind with your pic on my Blog (sniff)
I may sue – blows nose in a delicate and ladylike fashion Pbbbbb.!..
Frog in the Field said,
Sweetie..what is that contraption in the background??
Is it some sort of ‘unusual practice’ implement?
Lady Macleod said,
What dosage of drugs are required in order to carry out this play nightly? Doesn’t the maid bring up the tea? Would it be kind to put her out of work in these hard times?
OMG! I’m so going to steal this and use it over at my place – right after I let the adorable husband read it (it’s all right, he’s well trained in modern marriage rites)
Laura McIntyre said,
Really? I am so glad we live in the now not the then .
EmmaK said,
lol “if your husband suggests the more unusual practices remain obedient and uncomplaining” sounds shocking at first
until you rememer that ‘unusual’ practices in those days were having sex without a nightie

Ooo…congress and gentle moaning!
lacey said,
Oh my! I forgot they use to call it congress. Sounds so governmental.
