brownie points

[alibongo]

question for C/A veterans, how many brownie points are required to go to L/M for the whole week ? erindoors is throwin a wobbley because I'm going on the wed and not the friday to monday !!!! in mitigation I have totally refurbished the bedroom and have spent the last week doing the same to the dunny at a total cost of about £5k ! surely I have accrued enough brownie points ? your views and comments/experience would be much apreciated..........

Just tell her you don't want to go.  It's just you HAVE to go.

tried that but was informed that I was going "on holiday not a long weekend" without her !!!

You've got a bl**dy cheek.
I recon you should set off very early Saturday morning and leave as the race finishes so that you can make her a midnight cocoa when you get in..

[Lorry]

Simple answer

Its not a question of whether I go, its a question of whether I come back

There's 2 scenario's to this one....

First tell her she is having a holiday ......because you wont be there

and

Second.If she has an interest .....tell he she can go,and you will pay.

Both of thes have workerd for me for the past 9 years,and also if you have kids who are into motorsport you can offer to take them...........provided they don't tell mum what you get upto

Bring her with you.  I always drag my old man along and he doesn't complain.  If she can't stand the noise, the bus to Le Mans will provide her with plenty of shopping opportunities, not available in the UK - just hand over your credit card as you wave goodbye.  One brownie point for every 100 euros she's allowed to spend.  A slap up meal at les 7 plats in the old town will earn you a few more.

....bringing mine with me    a lot easier than trying to get away from her    she enjoys the atmosphere anyway, NOT allergic to the odd beer or three either

Oh to not have to worry about such things.

What is all this crap?? £5 grand on a new bedroom and still she's giving it all the old chops?? Be ruled by me son, you wanna give her a good slap and let her taste the furry side of your hand, that's what you wanna do.

F**K 5k thats brownie points for 5 years ain't it!
This is not a holiday, it is not a motor race, this is the Annual CA pilgrimage!

Your only religious event of your life that just happens to come around every year

[alibongo]

dont know what I ever saw in her she does not like cars/motorsport.........a car as far as she is concerned is a metal thing with round black things on each corner !!!!!!! she would be happy if I bought a ......shudder........daiwoo  shudder matizzzzzzzzzz too painfull to think about !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[termietermite]

Yeah what were you thinking?  However, by the look of this site you are not alone in your odd choice of partner.

Or...


Darling. 

I womt be going to Le Mans this year, But i've decided to re-invest my time and money into one of these....

Maybe she'll change her mind ?



By the way, my orders being placed in the morning

I also get the question, if it is a 24 hour race, why do you go for a full week?

I never even try to explain, I just disappear for a week!!
