The Mix - what's your excuse

[Thank you Sir Jack]

A number of us spend a fair bit of time on MM. Occasionally the present holder of the title Mrs TYSJ (a post coveted by many) will say "you're reading about the Wolves again, what's so important that you need to read about them at 11 p.m. (insert other times as you choose)". My weak retort of "they're just about to sign a player" is met with "and you reading about it is going to make a difference is it?" or if I repond with "just reading about the game last Saturday" this is met with "and will your reading about it change the result?"
Do you have similar issues and what is the best way to respond?

"Would you rather I was watching porn?"

Tends to nip any moaning in the bud.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Tell her "maybe not, but you shutting up will make it more enjoyable"
Should go down a treat.

 

[caradon wolf]

In my case my dear wife is very happy for me to spend time here. It does not (currently) have a beer buying facility that shows up on monthly card accounts under various names. In actual fact, I took delivery of an extremely fine case just one hour ago.

Now, where did I put my bottle opener.........

I might try that one, but with a fast get away vehicle standing by just in case.

I've been glued to it in its various forms since I left for uni in 2001, met my now wife two years later and I honestly can't think of one time I've been called out for my addiction.

I think her own vices of the world of social media must keep me off the hook to be honest!

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Re. your second sentence, I will try that, it might just do the trick.

I think she might have other things on her mind at that time, matey.

My now ex girlfriend was convinced I was messaging another woman I was on here that much some nights

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

She adopts the Nuno dictat of no sex before a game, but is a bit stricter and includes "during" or "after", thereby taking in the whole year.

The other woman wouldn't be Rhos would it?
BTW, note to self, no need to reply to every response!!!!

 

[Shifnal Wolf]

I usually say "I'm texting my bird"

I then usually get the standard "in your dreams" reply

However I've only recently joined MM

She wasn't as good looking as Rhos

a Molineux Minx?

 

[Essex Wolf]

Wife always know when I'm reading about Wolves as I'm so engrossed in all things Wolves she can have a conversation with me and I've not remembered a word of it.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

I've known the Mix longer than I've been with her. She knew that when I married her "Foresaking all others, except the Mix.

She's normally okay about it unless we're at s Christening, Wedding or Funeral service. Then I get a glare.

I tell her as one of the founding members I have to contribute to keep it going as it might die a death and I couldn't have that on my conscience. Keeping it going for future generations.

 

[Guzeppi]

Her: Are you on that mollin you mixer thing?
Me: Of course.
Her: Is that stefan guy bullying you again? You really need to stop going there.

 

[wwbug]

I can always say - "Go back to Facebook "

 

[Elvis Wolf]

Couldn't have put it better myself EW, as it has exactly the same effect on me.

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

My wife will often test me in those instances "what did I just say?" "Something about one of your sisters" (a reasonable guess on my part), "Which one?" ... collapse of stout party.
Let's face it chaps, they are smarter than us on the verbal dexterity skill

 

[Big Saft Kid]

My missus is also interested in football, so I don't get such a hard time, and in any case I spend quite a lot of time on-line because of what I do. Soon we are going to move back to the Midlands (all being well), so I'll have less of an excuse as I'll become a STH again

 

[Chch Wolf]

"Errr.... what are you doing out of the kitchen?"

 

[E is for idiot.]

My wife is a figment of my imagination so she doesn't mind. Massive tits as well.

I am away a lot so i get free rein on my MM fix

My Nan is cool with my Molineux Mix activity.

 

[ShropshireLad]

I like a strict woman...but not too strict.

 

[reanswolf]

As usual I'm sat on the sofa with the others watching some **** on the TV.
If I also choose what's on telly they keep on saying "you ay watching what you chose" (cos I'm on the Mix).

So, over time, it becomes the status quo - she and the kids choose the crap they like on the TV, I go on my lap top. Except when Wolves are away - its Sky Sports all afternoon and evening. If we win, we go out and I get ****ed.

Same old pattern!

 

[topcat99]

My late missus was kicked out of the SS for cruelty

"Errr.... what are you doing out of the kitchen?"

Oooooooooh

 

[Deleted member 4023]

I'm surrounded by bellends because I live near bolton.The wife & all the outlaws are bolton fans
They talk that much ****e I could bag it
My escape is the mix

 

[Arky_R]

I say "at least I have interests!" Ha
Not sure you can class drinking wine as an interest

 

[Bostin]

"Would you rather I was watching porn?"

Tends to nip any moaning in the bud.

If you were watching the Neves goal against Hull, technically you were watching porn!

 

[JadeWolf]

My excuse is "I'm new to the Mix, got lots of threads to catch up on. I'm only halfway through Talisca!"

And if my boyfriend has a go, all I'll say is "You support Villa. No point them having a forum, not enough of your fans have learnt to read and write!" Keeps him quiet. So does showing him the table ahaha!

 

[Sheriff Woody]

I met my wife on the internet.




I'm still searching it for something useful.

 

[Macman]

I can always say - "Go back to Facebook "

My sentiments exactly! She's on there 24/7.

Best way to respond could be up yours up mine but up everybody's that takes time, does anyone actually read previous posts before they jump in. Every post means something to somebody usually the poster.

Yes was quite the money shot

 

[ricki herberts moustache]

I don't need an excuse, people actually encourage me to go on the mix in order to shut me up

Shut up.

"Would you rather I was watching porn?"

That one works the other way round. ie me watching porn and she says "What are you looking at on there?". Me - "Just checking up on The Mix darling"
