Bristol Italian Day 2011

[conaero]

Well, as some of you may know, my wife hates cars, and has no ambition to come on an event with me. She pointed out that it was for her, the same a me wanting to go away with her book club members (yuk!), so she has come up with a suggestion.

I am rightly proud of the fact that I can hold my hand up and say that I have never read a book/novel in my life, it just does nothing for me.

So, the wife has said, if I read a book, she will come with me to an event, probably Bristol. She says she will test me on it after, so:

A. Do I give in to the her and do as she says
B. Do you have any suggestions on a book/novel (not too thick) that I might like.

I am your typical blokes bloke, into cars, action films, sports ect.

Please vote!

Go on and read a book Matt, you may be pleasantly surprised!

 

[conaero]

Thats what she says

 

[Andyk]

Why don't you grab a copy of EVO and try and expalin that it's a bloody good read and novel...

 

[Emtee]

Do car brochures count?

 

[ENZ525]

Yes, do it Matt...as Bigfoot says, you will be pleasantly surprised.



Regards,

enzo.

Being thats she 's a nurse Matt suggest you read Grays Anatomy, sorry but its thick one , but interesting none the less , and half of it you will know already , she will be so impressed with you , you'll earn enough brownie points for a couple of years , reverse Psychology mate believe me it works and foxes women everytime , just maybe, Kaz is a great reader well into her books aswell they might hit it off

I tried that one, and no, its got to be a novel.

 

[Maser Sod]

I was going to recommend 'Rough Ride' by Jeremy Whittle (inside track on the Tour de France), but then I read that it must be a novel?!
Oh dear.
I think you may have to say no, it seems to me a lot of effort just to be allowed to see a few red cars.
How about you pay for a 'wellness day' in Bristol for her? She relaxes, you look at the motors. Jobsaguddun.

 

[SimonM]

A - Yes
B - Yes

Not a massive book fan myself, unless I'm on a beach.... BUT I suggest you read "The Dice Man" by Luke Rhinehart... a bloke makes all his choices in life by rolling a dice - cult classic that should have enough gravitas to be an acceptable option with the Mrs... see you 2011

 

[Emtee]

Would certainly recommend these as good reads..

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.
Perfume by Patrick Suskind.
Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

 

[Klive]

Life of Pi also gets my vote.
If you can ignore who the author is then a current Ben Elton is an easy one to read.

 

[Andyk]

I recommend Janet and John...ladybird edition...Not that heavy going and lots of colourful pictures.

 

[Emtee]

Ah, Ladybird Books.. Were made in Luffbro don't you know.

 

[YHTM]

My advice would be to leave well alone as you know it will only be grief in Bristol trying to keep a non car partner happy!!

However if you insist - try Truckers by Terry Pratchett. I hadn't read a novel for years and came across this - excellent humour!

Perhaps Matt the real answer is to show her this poll, let her see how close she is to getting the boot heheh did i really say that may be shock tactics eek maybe not better scrub that idea bit final

I have showed it to her, but that was when there were 4 votes for 'Read the book' now there are 2 for "Chop her in", do you think this would stand up in the divorce court as 'reasonable grounds"

Lets hope the judge is a Maserati man! Ha Ha
