If your wife ever sees this post you may find out about a different life very soon.

Sounds great, now instead of imagineing her coming home tomorrow, how about she never comes home. Still feel great?

If not then, well I dunno, don't do anything. If so, then whats the worst that could happen?wink

FFS Tonk, I can't make up my mind whether you are THAT cynical or THAT predictable!

10 days isn't a long time though, try a few months.

BTW in my experience, the answer was absolutely...NO.

You couldn't make up some of the stuff that happened to me this time 18months ago, I have since found out that fvcking off and having a ball doesn't stay fun for long.

Amazingly, I managed to salvage my marriage and we're better off for the little blip, well it was a bit more than a blip actually smile

Your wife has been away for 10 days and you haven't missed her? At all? Not one little bit?

Dude, where do you get your porn from?

There was actually a government funded research project carried out in 1984 along both sides on the M5 between Junctions 10 - 12 to answer this very question for you.

The answer was yes,on average, the grass on the north bound carridge way actually .025% of a colourmeter greener than that of the opposite embankment.


So do it, jump, whatever it was you were planning! Its always greener on the otherside... unless you live in Stroud.

It was greenest until I smashed a golf ball into a cowpat on Minch golf course. I was not doing a drop from that!
