Clodhopper Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I thought it would be a good idea to plan a surprise 40th for my wife, how wrong was I. She is generally a patient easy going lady, she needs to be to put up with my pigeon chasing obsession but I am currently driving her mad. All the secret phone calls, slipping off arrange food and music etc. is meaning that she now thinks I am having an affair (I don't think anyone else would have me). To cap it off I left some b&b details scribbled on an envelope on the dining room table which pushed her over the edge, not speaking to each other for a few hours and the like. I have nearly caved in and told her but she always says I never surprise her so I am sticking to my guns. Never again will I do something like this. As it is very stressful never mind seriously curtailing pigeon shooting. Sorry for the rant just need have whinge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My now ex brother in law was going away working, so pressed print on some saucy pictures off the net, however the printer wasn't working, off he went to Poland, he had a lot of explaining to do when the printer was fixed by my sister and the print que actually printed. ?

washerboy Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 My friend had something similar, he was asked by his best friends wife to find her husband a classic car for his 60th birthday. Strange phone calls and secret meetings went on for three months until he found a car and the lad had his birthday party and the car was sat outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 If I pull it off it will be a mega pigeon shooting brownie point winner.

Mice! Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Might be too obvious but have someone else send you an invite for dinner or a party, she will hopefully give you grief for not arranging anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Only in Lincolnshire... An old countryman once said to me: " You need to train a woman just like you do a dawg". So get the good lady up at first light, she cooks breakfast first and then washes up. Then she puts all the gear, guns, deeks, shells, netting, poles etc. in your motor and off you both trot for a passionate day in the hide together. After you've treated her to sausage and chips on the way home, she can then clean your gun, de-breast the sixty pigeons you've shot, wash down the dog and only then is she allowed to put her nighty on ready for you while you finish watching Match of the Day or Premiership Rugby ( your preference). If it doesn't work try moving to Sutton Bridge. Good luck my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) Stick in there, I planned a road trip for Lynelle’s 40th - this included ferry crossing from Skye. When we went on the ferry the ticket guy looked at my Reg & said Mr **** welcome on board - to which she replied, even he knows about this ??? Fast forward a few years - I got wind Lynelle was planning a surprise 50th for me ? in the space of a few days I contracted the band with a request, ordered a Ring & got up on stage & sang “Bruno Mars” marry me ? anyone that is friends with me on FB (& are more IT savy than me) can post it for a laugh. Fill yer boots lad & all the best for the future ? This was planned without even my family knowing Edited January 17, 2018 by Tam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I would love to help with some suggestions BUT after 48yrs of marriage(2 of:1st complete carp,2nd excellent) I have learn't nothing about how women view their men.My best take is they either like you or they don't and whatever you do or don't do has little influence on their opinion.Fortunately I have had more success with dogs.

Smokersmith Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 I went pheasant shooting to Scotland with my Dad on my wife's 40th .... no problems there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clodhopper Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks for the advice gents. I would like to keep her as she is a bit of a novelty here in Lincolnshire, I can introduce her as my wife and she is not even my cousin or my sister. 3 minutes ago, Smokersmith said: I went pheasant shooting to Scotland with my Dad on my wife's 40th .... no problems there I went pigeon shooting on our wedding anniversary the year before last. We were meant to be meeting up for dinner at my parents but the birds were coming in lovely on some peas and caused me to be an hour or 2 late. She has not forgotten this.
