He's maybe the fat-arsed chip-shop worker.<br /><br />As for the wives, well... do you think they discuss writing at the dinner table? I wager writing couples speak in the same banalities as everyone else (otherwise the relationships would end over an argument about a comma misplacement).<br /><br />PS: You DO go blind.

All these wives are in the same business as their spouse!<br /><br />Where are the writer's wives that work in the local chip shop or supermarket?<br /><br />Where are the writer's wives that state "It's all nonsense really, but as long as it keeps him happy eh?"<br /><br />Where are the airhead bimbo wives with busts large enough to give them permenent backache?<br /><br /><br />Is it really the case that to get amongst the (g)literati high fliers we need to recruit spouses from the same ranks? <br />(And, from your list, it would seem from the same ethnicity?)<br /><br />Personally, as much as I admire the writer's doing just that - me do enough "writing thinking" making me books, I wanna wife that gives me total contrast.<br /><br />Topic at tea "Do you prefer rice or noodles?"<br /><br />Intellectual debate "I caught Johnnie playing with himself, will he go blind?"<br /><br />And the perrenial "Does my arse look fat in these?"Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14880835293833765181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-54127305148554649882009-12-14T01:54:51.960+00:002009-12-14T01:54:51.960+00:00I think you're onto something.I think you're onto something.Derek Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635542030499107745noreply@blogger.com
