Strange questions my Wife asks me
2007-06-11 10:07:00
Last night my wife and I were released, thanks to babysitter nana, for a rare night out together(at the cinema). This involved much preening on behalf of Mrs. Spook and then came the compulsory 20 questions, one of which flummoxed me... I began to sweat, what was the correct response?? I remembered the last time we had gone out and I had been caught out with, 'Do I look better in the blue skirt or the brown one''The blue one' I had replied.'What's wrong with the brown one. I thought I looked nice in the brown one. Does it make me look fat.....'On this occassion, after a brief deliberation, I looked her in the eye and said, 'you look lovely, babe'. Get in.

My Nocturnal Itchy Bum wasn't due to haemorrhoids
2007-06-08 21:57:00
You'll be glad to know the doctor told me I had a mild case of worms and I am now on worming treatment. Urgghhh how sick is that.When I started blogging I always wanted to be one of the world's foremost sites for those seeking reassurance about their own itchy bottoms and (should you care to search on Google) I have now achieved that goal. I can retire a happy blogger.P.S. for those seeking advice about the diagnosis and management of itchy bums: I pity you, here you will only find torment

Is there anything more rewarding than a good sulk?
2007-06-06 00:02:00
I got into a right whomper the other day, I can't quite remember why (- oh, I think it was to do with Mrs Spook having too much time with her friends and me not seeing mine). Prior to meeting my wife these black moods could go for ages but, unfortunately for me, Mrs Spook knows how to break a sulker.Foiled again

Itchy Bum Surprise to Come?
2007-05-21 12:36:00
I have an incredibly itchy bum at the moment. It wakes me up in the middle of the night and I can't not scratch. Whilst intensely pleasurable at the time this vigorous scratching is making matters worse and now I have unconciously started it in the daytime in public.
