The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
Me and Ross from in here were thinking about starting a business, something cool that guys would like and we came up with MANLAND!
WHen your wife / girlfriend goes shopping, you just pop into MANLAND! for a few hours, it'll be huge in scale and contain everything a guy would think cool, eg pool, a massive bar, indoor car track where you can go either cops or baddies and basically chase each other about in real cars, skiing, but with painball guns as well, pole-dancing, mud-wrestling, a live fight between a lion and a tiger, scaffolding up one wall so you can get a shot of climbing it without being told to get off, a firing range with machine guns etc etc etc.
but, not that i want to put a dampener on your terribly unchauvinistic *ahem* plans - but you could probably make it exclusively men only in name only - as in, hope that the girls dont go cause it's called manland - they outlawed excluding gender with that whole gentlemen's club having to let girls in thing didnt they?
here's an article about it in 2002, but i think they did make it law - although i havent found an article yet to back up my claims
Its a good point KT but I guess we should put various safety restrictions in place such as
No Bra's
No High heel shoes
No make up
No Dyed Hair
No Thongs
No one under 5' 6"
etc etc and then just come up with some lame ass excuse why. In addition if you change these every week it'll stop the girlies thinking they can come 'prepared' - nice....

while on this subject I got the following in an email at work
I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart.
FOR EXAMPLE:
One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into bed. Well, the passion starts to heat up, and she eventually says, "I don't feel like it, I just want you to hold me."
I said, "WHAT??!! What was that?!"
So she says the words that every boyfriend on the planet dreads to hear..."You're just not in touch with my emotional needs as a woman enough for me to satisfy your physical needs as a man."
She responded to my puzzled look by saying, "Can't you just love me for who I am and not what I do for you in the bedroom?" Realizing that nothing was going to happen that night, I went to sleep.
The very next day I opted to take the day off of work to spend time with her. We went out to a nice lunch and then went shopping at a big, big unnamed department store. I walked around with her while she tried on several different very expensive outfits. She couldn't decide which one to take, so I told her we'd just buy them all. She wanted new shoes to compliment her new clothes, so I said, "Lets get a pair for each outfit."
We went on to the jewelry department where she picked out a pair of diamond earrings. Let me tell you... she was so excited. She must have thought I was one wave short of a shipwreck. I started to think she was testing me because she asked for a tennis bracelet when she doesn't even know how to play tennis.
I think I threw her for a loop when I said, "That's fine, honey."She was almost nearing sexual satisfaction from all of the excitement. Smiling with excited anticipation, she finally said, "I think this is all dear, let's go to the cashier."
I could hardly contain myself when I blurted out, "No honey, I don't feel like it." Her face just went completely blank as her jaw dropped with a baffled,"WHAT?"I then said, "Honey! I just want you to HOLD this stuff for a while. You're just not in touch with my financial needs as a man enough for me to satisfy your shopping needs as a woman."
And just when she had this look like she was going to kill me, I added, "Why can't you just love me for who I am and not for the things I buy you?"
Apparently I'm not having sex tonight either....but at least that ***** knows I'm smarter than her.

You forgot to get written permission, dude. You're supposed to fill out a 37B/964-C Permission to Bring Up Matters Of A Divorcy Nature On An Internet Forum Application in triplicate.
Actually, I mostly posted this because the sheer amount of quoting going on above amused me and I wanted to join in. Good, innit!
I'll drop the form in - is there a blanket one I can complete to allow me to take the mickey out of your predicament on a permanent basis? Its what friends do *shrugs*
