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

Well it seems as though Deb might have been jumping the gun a bit on that one, but if it does happen she would be attached to a language school associated with the University.

I had already found myself a rugby club too

If it your move does come to fruition and you buy a house, it may be possible to gain additional income by renting out a room(s) in your home to language students. During my recent trip down South I sat next to an elderly lady on a bus who has a large house near the language school in Bournemouth. She told me that she makes about £70 per week (I think it was bed & breakfast only) per student in rent and that the language school are always asking her to take in additional students.

I'd rather have the house to myself i think, although perhaps i could be convinced if they were 20 year old scandanavian females

Tsk! Typical!

What is this obsession with Scandinavian females that most men I know have?

i believe it has something to do with their casual attitude towards sex

I have a pretty casual attitude toward sex too, as John will all too readily testify. He asks if we can do it and I casually tell him to go away and leave me alone...

That seems to be pretty much standard behaviour for married women as far as i can tell

Awww! Didums den!

It doesn't prevent us ing over men that we aren't married to though!

Besides, if husbands generally weren't so boring/unromantic/unimaginative (eg: "How about a quick shag/bonk/blow *** then?") in bed, their wives be more...*receptive*.

Seriously though, having kids is one of the worst dampeners on a couple's sex life due to tiredness for both partners plus lack of time and privacy.

Also, whilst giving birth to Mair, I swore that nothing larger than a tampon would be going near my nether regions and almost bolted down the maternity unit's corridor when the mentioned the word "internal" to me only a few hours after the birth!

oh goody, that means i can drool over women i aren't married to

Deb had a planned caeserian thankfully as the almost 3 Rebecca was the wrong way around at the time. It made planning everything a lot easier

I am glad that I had natural and drug-free childbirth for both my kids but if I'd had a caesarean I might not now be facing the prospect of a hysterectomy due to a prolapse.

Ah! The benefit of hindsight, hey?

My own hind will be quite a sight after months of enforced rest following my operation...

Fortunately I've been visiting a gym 4 or 5 times per week and have managed to get myself in reasonable shape, so I should recover fairly quickly and hopefully will be back down the gym within four months from the operation.

Are you and Debs planning on having more children Linus?

yes and no. thankfully my no is winning so far

John's sister-in-law confided in me that she and John's brother were in a similar predicament until she sabotaged of some condoms with a pin and subsequently produced a baby boy! After that there was no stopping her and she went on to produce another three children...No doubt John's brother has completely lost his trust in condoms as a form of contraception by now...

Now that Deb is in her 40s things are starting to naturally swing in my favour
