I like to condoms bit. Just might try it at Nakumatt, then follow the person to the till

Actually forget it…LOL! I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re already a spook.

It certainly does. I came to the INTJ conclusion a long while from several of your posts but hesitated to mention it as some people either think it’s an absurd pseudoscience or don’t quite enjoy being ‘boxed’ into 4 letters. Something a previous post of mine taught me all too well – http://momaalim.blogspot.com/2008/10/buuut-arent-we-all-same.html

You are most definitely a patient fella – if I stood that long at the juice aisle, they’ll probably call security to check if I need any help…LOL

Very intriguing about your psych analysis of the Stone Cold gentleman. I’ve regularly undertaken MBTi analysis either for job interviews or during team building exercises and INTJ is a familair state of affairs for me…LOL. Anyone who knows me well will not argue about an INTJ profile with my name on it. See if my Confessions of the Stone Kind (a bit of a window into the life of Stone) agrees with your psych analysis.

p.s. I hate to be a pedant but there’s a typo in the 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph.

p.p.s. I’m a bit of an amateur psychology buff. Specifically, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator model (http://momaalim.blogspot.com/2008/10/its-m-to-b-to-t-to-iiii.html). Does this sound like you? – http://www.typelogic.com/intj.html , http://www.bestfittype.com/intj.html

@Mystic my dear – retail therapy has never worked for most men I know. Believe that venus mars thing – we’re just wired differently and shopping (usually under duress) just induces that stress…LOL! What’s with just walking around looking at stuff that I don’t want to buy?

Farmgal – please tell your bro I want to buy him a beer…LOL! Regarding having a 6th sense, I think we get to a stage where we have to choose exactly what we second guess from your actions. Women expect men to read all these signs instead of starting from the position that folks aren’t necessarily sharp and are not adept at reading code. So when you ask us to read the code that says “shopping time is here” – I kid you not, that signal is way past the end of the peckign order of things to think about right between ‘dish washers don’t load themselves’ and ‘you have to take out the trash, that equal opps thing doesn’t work for trash’…

@Gladys – I think with chic’s, it would be more useful to write up a strategy for avoiding watching football matches. There’s nothing as annoying as hanging out with a chic who clearly has no clue what’s cutting during a match and is trying to keep up appearances to please her mano. The alternative is to get hitched to a chic who loves and knows her football. At least my wife is a diehard Chelsea fan (yeah – folks ask me how an Arsenal fanatic like me lives with a Chav supporter, but stranger things have happened I tell you). She’s the type who shouts down the dodgy referee and curses out at the telly when things are not working for her team – you’d be proud of her if you see her in action.

But you’re too funny dude.

As for that list..lmao

As for the price of bread, I guess I have to compound the retail price index since 1996…LOL! Honestly, its not everyday that I wake up and think “Hmm! I wonder how much bread costs these days”…Even if I surmized that it’s too expensive, what choice do I really have?

@Mrembo, LOL – the term ‘er indoors was coined some time back by a British comedian in a sitcom to describe the missus when he was talking about her. I guess it’s now common cockney (London area) slang to describe the wife or girlfriend.

As for prices of stuff, around the house, I probably know the price of a six pack of beer better than I would washing up liquid. I rationalize this by accepting that I don’t hold the monopoly of having absolutely no clue about what different types of groceries cost week by week. I mean – they change them all the time, right??? I’ve just accepted that the entry in the bank statement that’s attributed to shopping is beyond my sphere of influence – kinda like birth control.

So did you find the cheap,good quality bread? And you are still riding on 1996 prices? Dude? You need to watch “spendaholics”- BBC3 or something.

As for your shopping guide- deadly. Too funny. But I promise you I am trying out number 7 at the next person who says ” can I help you.”

Number 11 will be tried out in Marks and Spencer.

I think I might get arrested if I try number 2.

Men who love shopping are indeed a very rare breed..we’re not just wired that way.

Believe, that guide will get you out of any shopping jam…

That ’shopping guide’ has just killed me! *dead*
