    I sometimes feel that I'm the only one on here who not only really likes his wife and still wants to share all life's pleasures with her.

    So I don't have a 'man' cave or anything separate from Ronnie in the house at all. We own everything etc etc.

    Why the hell bother being married if it isn't like that? Life really is too short and its the only chance you get

    I keep asking myself that.

    The first couple of years were great, the following 38 not!

    I for one don't intend turning into my wife. I laid certain rules down from the start.. I especially stipulated that my music will come first in the relationship..

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Me too - far from it. If you allow that shit to happen, you're a mug.

    Too many women try to 'mould you' into something that best suits their vision of self (and social) advancement, and if you allow yourself to fall into that trap, a whole world of pain awaits!
