Aussieflyer38 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 My wife and her girlfriend were having a discussion about who was worse off husband wise. Her friends husband is a golfer, my wife is saddled with a flight simmer - of course. The end result, my wife won - Golfers are gone all day, 18 holes plus a session at the 19th hole. My wife has only to walk into my computer room and there I am, so from that point, we have a winner, but not so fast my friends, her girlfriend says it's nice to have some peace when her husband is at golf, my wife agrees that must be very nice not having to listen to your husband whinging all day like hers. This brings me to the point of the title of the "new club". My wife has proposed "The Grumpy Old Farts" club, and me as the President. She says she has never seen so much door slamming, and heard such profanity coming from my mouth except for the last couple of days (release of update 5). I said I would apologise, except it's hard to talk when you're getting your mouth washed out with soap and water. Don 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took her to Archerfield for a look, big mistake, anything smaller than a 737, forget it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 How do we get the member cards? Get me one as well, please. I was just reminded my wife celebrates 27 years of marriage tomorrow, see what comes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Because it sounds like we are getting serious about the Grumpy Old Farts' Club and have already appointed Don (Aussieflyer38) as acting president, and because there already is a clamor for membership cards, I suppose we should talk about forming a board of directors to write a set of bylaws and establish financial parameters. However, to avoid all that, I propose we simply appoint Don as Dictator for Life, then proceed to ignore all his dictates. We are a grumpy old lot, after all, and who is that young fellow to tell us what to do? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Heaton Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Speaking of Old Farts - I learned a new word the other day As OLD FARTS - we have all suffered the indignity of an "accident" from time to time - whilst letting one go ---- The word is "SHART" (Just noticed - the spell checker left it alone??) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
