h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I told my globe-trotting partner last Tuesday that on the 28th I'm going to London. His reaction was a bit mystifying to me, considering he'd not long returned from 5 weeks in Oz, and hadn't asked my opinion about it before agreeing to go join his daughter and her family. In fact the day before, he'd returned from an Easter break - meeting his son and family at his daughter's home (she is still in Oz) and he had told me he was going on that trip too, and he'd see me when he returned.
Imagine my surprise then, to get a bit of a grilling "why?" "what for?" "who else?" "are you returning the same day?" Eh? It's an EVENING meet. And I don't fancy spending the night on Platform One at Doncaster station, thanks very much.

After some choice words, we've barely spoken since, granted it's the school holidays so he'd probably be staying out the way anyway, but still.

Can you tell I'm annoyed?

Not a lot

He's come back from *his* jollies, he wants to spend some time with you, he has every right

"Tell him you will not spend the day shopping "

Tuh! Men!

GB, seems he wants the best of both worlds. That seems to me to show a high level of selfishness on his part. Go do your things and enjoy yourself...

Strange creatures we share the planet with.

Hi GB. Sounds well selfish to me have to say. Personally speaking sounds to me like he has a trust issue which frankly don't bode well in any relationship.

Hope it all works out ok anyway.

Bloody men indeed. It's not like you're going halfway round the world for weeks on end or anything. Don't feel guilty for a second; you deserve a break and a good Meet, and you've been looking forward to this for ages

imo

My theory is we're not too bright. The fact that I can't come up with a better one proves it.

I'm sure you'll get him in line - he's out-gunned.

This display of immature jealousy is a symptom of typical male insecurity

My advice: Tell him you're actually going to an extremely intense orgy

Want me to pop over and sort him out GB?

Just Starch his underpants....... and scoks............... then dip half his t shirts.... lenth ways.......... if "it" wants to be a bit starchy, his clohes can be of the matching type....






by the way.... my missus done this to me cus i was being a bit of a pratt....

RJR (still a bloke and liable to mastakes)

Tell him to mind his own business stoopid man


I'm lucky not to get any grilling when I go out but then I'm usually with Genie so he knows we'll just be in the local causing trouble

There's only one of 'im and there's loads of us, so he's out voted - simple.

Well, I live in hope!

he went to oz to please his daughter and her family. you, however, are going to the meet to please none other than yourself, right?

seriously, though, don't let it get to you and your relationship, whether this is just a minor misunderstanding or he actually is as selfish as some people seem to believe

of course he wants the best of both worlds. so do i. in fact i want the best of all worlds nothing wrong with that - as long as you don't bother other people with it

this calls for revenge
...dead flying rat...too messy
...empty 6pack of heineken...too expensive
...postcard signed by all hootoo sapiens...could be fun

Annie "ask" if you borrow his credit card...give every few drinks on him!
