The very Brtish practice of selling your wife

[Baron von Lotsov]

What a good word:



Anodyne: not likely to cause offence or disagreement and somewhat dull.



SO why would you inhabit it and keep coming here with one liners like that.  :thdwn:

Literal meaning is:

"having power to relieve pain" from anodynos

Actually, I think we should cut Lottie some slack. As has already been suggested, he probably isn't getting much and all that dirty water building up in his chest is bound to cloud his thinking.



According to Wiki, until the passing of the Marriage Act of 1753, a formal ceremony of marriage before a clergyman was not a legal requirement in England, and many marriages went unregistered. That said the Tudors (Henry VIII) required the parish priests to keep a record of  all marriages, deaths and births in their areas. And this suggests that



(a) there was probably a lot of confusion as to who was married and who was not



(b) unless their was a good reason such as property or money involved, most folk were not that bothered.



(c) all ancestors lives were a lot more cheerfully rackety than we sometimes imagine

He'd struggle to sell his wife. There probably isn't much of a market for used inflatable dolls.

Bugger it BYT, I wanted to say that

Has he actually got one?

Hmmm  :kikass:

Besides, this is a fairly anodyne forum most of the time...

What's this, your umpteenth negative thread about women, Lotsov? Other posters could carry this off as humorous, but with your record it doesn't really fly. It's just yet another provocative post in a long line of provocative posts from someone with deep insecurities. How many threads do you intend to start about women? One a week? Give it a rest ffs, you boring adolescent.

They do make up 50% of the population.



I think your comments above are describing yourself though. I started a positive thread. This could solve our problems. No need for an expensive divorce when you can cash in on the transaction. No wonder the grubby lawyers of the time did not like it.

Shame there ain't a 'Brtish' practice of selling self important and egotistical forum members, who like to make passive (and sometimes not so passive) aggressive posts about women.



Mind you, selling may be a problem, it's more likely we'd have to offer camels to complete the transaction - and I'm not at all sure there are enough left on the world. Anyone fancy a whipround?

I'm sure minorities can stand up for themselves — especially if they're represented on management. Besides, this is a fairly anodyne forum most of the time...

It's true - but there is always a straw that breaks the camels back. The fact that there is management representation shouldn't make any difference.

Perhaps it's time to revise the forum rules since it is very rude to a minority.
