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

Entry: Living With Men – A Guide - A7176521
Author: Skankyrich [back properly soon?] - U931109

My first AWW...

Yeah, I'm guilty of most of these things. Certainly not treasuring shaving scum though I'm not a wild animal!

(and don't knock personal time in the spare room. Half of h2g2's population would go missing overnight if that were taken away )

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Excellent! I began reading with the sceptical, mildly aloof air of 'one who has seen one of these before'. I was soon realising my mistake.

I anticipated a few wry smiles. You, however, succeeded in making me laugh outloud!

I look forward to seeing this wry wit at work on other subjects? Perhaps, you could even adapt this article into somesort of short story? A narration of partner-partner interaction when the man gets home? I think it might be good.

Otherwise, there is, i think, a typo in the bedroom section, near the end of paragraph two; " to be wedged down the man’s the man’s throat/tonsils;" There is a repeat of "the man's".

Yours,

Discus.

You can get away with stuff like this this when you discuss men...I was trying to imagine a similar guide for women. What a challenge!

Typoo changed!

Thanks very much for your comments Glad you liked it!

To be honest, this has been sitting on my hard drive for over a year, and I only thought it might be ok for AWW when Jodan issued his call to arms yesterday. If this gets a good reception, I could probably come up with some other stuff, but time is at a bit of a premium lately. I'll give it some thought.

Thanks again for the good initial response

Ooh, blimey! I don't think I could get away with that, Phred, especially if She saw it

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this - especially as I've got married and moved in with my bloke this year . It's brilliantly written, often very true (I know my husband wants a shed and workshops) and genuinely funny.

One minor thing - you could mention that like the bathroom fairy, there is a washing and ironing fairy, too .

Overall though, this is great

Not just entertaining, it's kind of warming too. So easy to do this with cynicism.

Cheers for that, really nice on a cold November evening.

Congratulations skankyrich . A couple of Underguide Miners decided to pick this entry for the <./>underguide</.> to entertain Front Page readers.

An UnderGuide Gem Polisher will create a new UG copy of this to link to from the front page and will be in touch to talk about any light polishing they think could be done. It will then be added to thhe UG collection of gems in the UG archive.

Thank you for the entertainment, and congrats again .

Congrats, skankyrich
