What is it with women?

I just mentioned to my wife that we might make another trip back to England next year if the Boro are promoted this year.

Her response, " Well I hope we go to some different places if they do "

What are you on about woman ?

" Need I remind you how many times we've been to Bolton, Blackburn, Barnsley, Blackpool and Birmingham? I'm sick of it, I would like
to visit somewhere new."

I told her that that would be more than likely as we might get the opportunity to visit Brentford, Brighton, Bournemouth and Burnley. :D

I thought my response was a clever and funny one , but in reality and unknowingly, I had left myself wide open for her quick witted reply.

" Yeah, my point exactly, we've already been to those places as well."

Doh.
 
My wife can never understand why we travel the length and breadth of the country to watch the Boro.
And I can't really explain why, so I don't try.
In truth she's happy to get a bit of piece and quiet, and unlimited access to the big Tele.
 
Yes you’ll have to move away from B’s try going through the alphabet, when you get to L it will have to be Leicester or Liverpool though.
 
I still don't think my Missus has forgiven me for the romantic weekend i planned in London back in May 2015. She was excited about endless hours of shopping in Oxford Street, Cocktails up the Shard, Sight seeing across Westminster and food at Camden Market. The reality of her trip was some cans in Trafalgar square listening to several thousands Teessiders singing, followed by more cans and Teesside accents all the way to Wembley and a miserable me after 15 minutes of the game for the remainder of our time there.

Needless to say, she has ruled herself out of a return this year.

Women eh !



The conversation might go something like this……



‘Look hun, 🤷‍♂️

I think you really need to understand me better. The Boro have been in my life :love: since before I even knew you….(don’t take that personally 🤞) and….they make me happy, really soul happy (and sad sometimes of course – just like you do :unsure:) and since you & I have been together you have definitely enhanced my life, but reality is....it's Boro No1 and you a very close No2.

I know you know that deep down hun….I love you and the Boro but the Boro excite like nothing I’ve ever experienced before unless you want to prove me wrong ;)

I wake up thinking about the Boro…I drop off to sleep thinking about the Boro…I think about the Boro when I’m eating, drinking and pretending to listen to you….(Joke…not)
The Boro just occupy my mind and it's because I just want the best for them.....that's got to be entirely reasonable and kind ?

If you can relay this conversation and get through it with just moderate ‘cuts and bruises’ then you are on your way to achieving some meeting of minds with your missus.



Happy wife – happy life….never a truer word spoken….

Have they let her out of the asylum yet mate? I presume you had her sectioned after she said this. Even if you love shopping, it is the worst street on planet Earth!

Well it’s not my cup of team but since they have kicked out the tat shops at the east end of Oxford street it is nowhere near as bad as it was and when it comes to the worst street on planet Earth - try Tottenham High Rd.
 
Give me Oxford Street to Stratford Westfield any day of the week. Was in there at the weekend and christ it was horrendous.
 
My wife’s teaching career started off in primary school and she ended up teaching in University.
She said that after a short time in Uni it confirmed an idea she had that men didn’t develop but just grew bigger and more hairy. I did say that I hope I wasn’t included in this.
The reply was that I was the inspiration behind it in the first place.

Its just the sheer volume of people who are going absolutely nowhere that I can't abide mate. But fair enough, horses for courses. For me its the worst street in London at the very least!

I think that my wife was fully aware of where she came as far as my passions were concerned within the first couple of years of our marriage.

All our previous visits over the years had always revolved around where the Boro were playing and she seemed happy with that.
She had never been out of Australia before and she had never seen snow.

I never dragged her to any football matches and she only ever came with me to the night games and would happily trot off to local museums,
stately homes or places of historical interest etc whilst I attended the afternoon games and we would meet up after the match.
It was a total waste of money buying her a ticket anyway as she never watched a second of the game as she spent the entire time crowd watching.
Everything always went well and she never once complained.

What I didn't mention in the opening post is that I suggested the trip to England to her as it will be our golden wedding anniversary in January.
She was seventeen and in year 12 in high school and I had just turned nineteen when we married and so I thought it would be a wonderful gesture
to have a second honeymoon with the added bonus for her and a major reward of having the pleasure of following the Boro around once again.

It would've been a perfect second honeymoon for me but I don't think she sees it the same way as me.

Women Eh. I'll never work em out. :unsure: :D
