Got one of the new style Ladybird books for adults today. I got one as a present for somebody and as they were doing a deal I got "How it works - The Wife". I know I don't have one but it may help me try to understand them !  :blink: ;D

Bet it's a much larger volume than 'The Husband'.....! :wacko:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Suprisingly it's the same size  ;D However it may be the first in a series  :rolleyes:

I read it last night and on first thoughts it's very funny, on second you go "ah, that's why they do that"  :o

Excellent book

One final pressie yesterday which was under the tree to be opened post lunch was  Marshal Joffre: The Triumphs, Failures and Controversies of France's Commander-in-Chief in the Great War 

Sometimes stopping and ostentatiously browsing a book in Waterstones works  :rolleyes:
