    .... I need some advice and help with some important arithmetic.

    When our games were occasionally on Sky I used to disappear up the pub while the very lovely Mrs Godders:emoticon-0115-inlov was busy in the kitchen cooking my supper. When the game finished I was always home in time to sit down to some really splendid home cooking.

    The problem is that the very lovely Mrs Godders:emoticon-0115-inlov has insisted this season that she accompanies me to the pub to watch the games. The consequences are that she gets tiddly as she insists I buy her a small glass of sherry each time and also she is not cooking my supper as she has discovered the pub does food.

    So this week we have been to the pub three times and I have had to buy her three glasses of sherry and three pub meals in addition to my own food and usual glasses of scotch. Not only that I have had to virtually carry the very lovely Mrs Godders:emoticon-0115-inlov home as she can't hold her drink and when we get home the house is dark and cold and not at all welcoming. Even worse the pub food gives me terrible indigestion which keeps me awake all night.

    The most serious consequence however is that I am considerably out of pocket and my pension will no longer cover my expenses for the week.

    It would appear that the only way out of my dilemma is to have a contract with Sky, something I have resisted for a very long time, or abandon watching the Saints down the pub.

    So my questions are these. Does a weekly sky contract cost more than 6 pub meals, 3 glasses of cheap sherry and 12 glasses of scotch? Will Saints continue as media darlings? Are they likely to be on the telly even more in future and finally is there a way I can get a Sky contract paid out of the very lovely Mrs Godders:emoticon-0115-inlov very generous housekeeping money:emoticon-0130-devil.

    Please help me to get my pocket money back, get to eat decent food again and also sleep at night.

    Thank you.

    Easily solved...you stay at home, keep the house warm and cook your own meal. The very lovely Mrs Godders :emoticon-0115-inlov will save money by only buying her drink and meal. There is of course always the risk she will meet her second husband at the pub :)

    Not if she gets the house...I could give her the name of my solicitor. My husband got an ice bucket as his half of the deal :)

    I'm loving your emoticon use:emoticon-0115-inlov and thinking it suggests that Mrs G has access to 606. Hello Mrs G <diva>
    Mrs Spiderman:afro: joins me on all football escapades:emoticon-0170-ninjathis is the modern world Less <ale> more :emoticon-0168-drink.
    Goal celebrations are far more enjoyable :emoticon-0115-inlovand less hairy <cheers>
    This is not a matter of economics. Watching Saints at home on Sky was necessary when we always lost <steam>
    Now we always win :smiley-finger007:it needs to be enjoyed publicly <party>

    Someone buy Godders an Android Box. I don't want to go down the road of explaining Streaming.

    Couldn't have put it better.

    Even better, take on 50% of the cooking and cleaning and give the very lovely Mrs Godders :emoticon-0115-inlov a step up from the unpaid servant status she's occupied all her married life. :rolleyes:

    Very dissappointed in you Godders, clearly you have been married some time, but you have yet to get the lovely Mrs Godders fully trained-up?
    This is an extreemly bad example to show to some of our younger posters.
