for day/weekend dive trips during 2006


Rick,

Nice idea, but I've found out andout bribery works better :-)

I took SWMBO to the dive show in October and caught her admiring the shiny stuff from Reef jewellery (who part sponser this site incidentally).

I lashed out on a beautiful necklace and followed it up with some earrings.

Result = passes for the following

IFC next month
Trimix course in Cyprus in March
Club weekend in Plymouth for easter
club trip to the scillies whitsun week
2 week exped to Farnes/St Abbs/Scapa/Mull in august
red sea liveaboard september

these are all on my own. TBA 2 week family summer holiday at a location yet to be determined and somewhere warm for Xmas (both to have diving of course :D

All this without having to really try :D You know it makes sense. Bribery every time. Works on the kids too

Some nice stuff. I'm trying to gauge what would be a suuficient bribe for Truk and Golapogos!

Any ideas?

Permission slips?
Bribes with jewellery?

What ever happened to the REAL Englishman, you know, the one who wears the trousers in his own home, etc, etc? :confused: :confused:

Is the diving community as we know it turning into a scene from the Two Ronnies' classic, "The Worm That Turned"? :D Will all the real men be forced into exile in Wales? :eek:

Prais be for my having been born in the fair and noble county of Yorkshire, where men are (still) men, so are women, and the sheep are nervous!!

Yours masculinely, Martyn P Ward- wearer of trousers and REAL man!!

(mind you, it does help when SWMBI dives as well.:rolleyes: works for me, bribes not required :D :D :D)

Quite agree, I married my instructor and haven't looked back. Mind you buying 2 Evolutions at once hurt.

A cautionary tale.........

Jack was about to marry Jill and his father took him to one side and said, You'll like this one !!

"When I got married to your mother the first thing I did when we got home was to take off my trousers. I gave them to your mother and told her to try them on, which she did. They were enormous on her and she said to me that she couldn't possibly wear them, as they were too large.

I said to her, "Of course they are too large for you. I wear the trousers in this family and I always will. Ever since that day we have never had a single problem".

Jack took his father's advice to heart and as soon as he got Jill alone after the wedding, he did the same thing. He took off his trousers and handed them to Jill and told her to try them on. When she did she said "I can't wear these, they're far too large for me".

"Exactly" Jack replied "I wear the trousers in this family and I always will. I don't want you to ever forget that".

Then Jill took off her knickers and gave them to Jack. "Try these on Jack" she said, so he tried them on but they were too small.

"I can't get into your knickers" said Jack. So Jill said "Exactly, and if you don't change your f****** attitude, you never will!"
