^^ ha ha! we'll see you in 2 year's time then Simon!

Simon: I know it was a little on the pricy side, but you have to think of Bach's Cantatas as an investment for life.

Simon's Wife: Well, just as long as you realise that's both your Xmas and next birthday present taken care of, and I'll see about getting you a paper round...

That's not exactly how it played out:

Simon: I'm thinking of buying a 56 CD box set.

Simon's wife: Oh, have you listened to all the CDs from all the box sets you've bought recently?

Simon: ummmm...........................

Ah Simon, why did you tell her??? We can't rationalise our behaviour!!! When you start explaining you are loosing.

I don't have a wife, which means that I only have to convince myself... at times, this simply isn't enough of a challenge... ;-)
