I knew it - not all men are from Mars. Hope Susan is making good progress and that you're keeping well, too. Looks like its ladies first in food queue!
Respect your parents and elders and be kind to others less fortunate than yourself.
I still yell at Susan when she fails to wait for me to open the door for her (car or house).
I was amazed recently when a young couple entered the restaurant we were dining in and he actually opened the door for her and followed her in , pulled out her chair and then pushed it in after she sat down.
I could not help myself.
I went over and told the girl "What ever you do do not let him get away, he is one in a million".
Susan is making good progress, thank you for asking, has a lung infection at the moment, but we will be back in the Alfred on Monday and they will sort it out.

excuse me for butting in - it was probably his first date with her.

I do not think so Jen, not by the way they were acting. He knew what to order for her (drinks) and there was no nervousness, She is one lucky young lady to have him.

I am cynical. You are a Gentleman. It was probably his second date.
Could never feel sick eating Pork Pies Jennifer. Me favorite three course meal is Pork Pie, Pork Pie and Pork Pie swilled down with a luverly pint of Guinness.
Send me a PM do not telegraph it to the women folk out there, as I have read in the past........ They never forget.
As for "your place" mate, I thought you must have found it when I saw the pic of you sleeping in the wheelbarrow. I tried that once, woke up and could not straighten out.
Thanks for asking about Susan, all good , just need to have a lung infection sorted out next week.
How is your health?? Have not heard much since your good news re IPF.
Hi Will, 'Danger' is me middle name. I love to live dangerously, so I do. Not only that a couple of pints of Guinness and I am invincible. πππ I always have two pints because they say, "two heads are better than one".
"I know my place". That was said to give 'The Sisters' (the dickie birds) a false sense of security. As you know, my place is in me wheelbarrow, Guinness in me hand and Pork Pie in me belly, relaxing in me garden. I have cushions in me wheelbarrow so don't have any problems straightening out if I fall asleep.
It's great to hear that Susan is doing alright. I hope the infection is soon sorted out and she is soon on top form.
I'm doing alright Will and I'll send a PM soon giving you an update.
I was told when I was young (coming from a predominately Irish / English back ground) That a man with a pint in each hand had a balanced diet.
As for pork, anything, Not to my liking. Eat chicken at times, but that is about all. Sometimes I even take the feathers off, as when roasting they give off a rather unpleasant odor from the oven , which annoys the good wife.
It sounds like you are a very well matched couple, Will. I hope that Susan is doing well, apart from her current chest infection? That must be a concern for you all...
I reckon the lady is letting the four men feed first as she has decided it's undignified to beg!
Hello Will hope Susan feels better soon, does she have to take a lot of medication now? I go for 'happy 'every time even if it means 'zip it!', anything for a bit of peace! π x
Not from me... Just something I found, altered slightly...But believe in.
Don't men need a best friend, a confidante, a wise partner, someone they can count on etc? Adults in an equal relationship, of whatever gender, should surely support & succour each other. As for the guy who pulled the girl's chair out, it smacks a bit of ownership to me. He could be beating her up in private, for all we know
I must remind Susan about "ownership" the next time i do likewise with her chair or when I open the door for her.
Mr V and I have equal relationship, as someone has called it, but like yourself with Susan, he has always treated me like a lady....he opens doors for me, pulls my chair out, and pops me on the inside when we walk down the pavement. I never regard that as ownership, l regard it as good manners and affection....it's nice to be treated like a lady, and appreciated.
Keep up the good manners...you and Mr V are a rarity
Will, you've supported Susan in all the ways that matter, obviously. What I meant is, you can't judge a man by such things as helping a woman into her chair. Indeed many women nowadays would regard that as a little ott, unless they were infirm. I expressed myself clumsily, apologies.
β’ in reply to
Do not concern yourself Hanne
I was not offended by your reply.
I am sorry but after all these years I can judge a person by their actions or their lack of same. Not by their creed, colour or demeanor.
When I see a young bloke walk thru a door first leaving his lady to follow him, or to go to his car door without opening hers first, or see a young person refuse to give up their seat to an elderly or in-firmed person I just shake my head in disbelief.
I see a general lack of common courtesy displayed by many today and It was refreshing to see so young a man treat a lady as I would like my own daughters to be treated.
I do agree that many younger women do not expect this type of respect as is shown by the actions of modern day females and I find this rather sad.
Just another act of decency towards women now fading unless old blokes like myself , Mr V, Past me best, and others of our generation can teach by example.
I fear that respecting the fairer sex was lost when parents stopped teaching their children the importance of respect, both to their elders and each other.
