I think, I know what you mean Tony !
The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin ? Thats not a bad idear! The only thing that worries me about it, is the lake I would be falling into , if I lived after plunging into its slimy green mouth, if ! I would probably resemble the creature from the black lagoon , and end-up shot making my way across the M25 too freedom, just like the recent tv advert , where the poor bloke falls into a pond and reemerges with weed and what not, wrapped around himself, ending up shot, with some guy resting his foot on his chest having his photo taken like a big game hunter. No ! I will bite my bottom, lip I might add ! Just get it over with , tho I think I will browse the net and see how much one of those stab protection jackets cost , be ready for the Dorisses ! Mike

Mike, feign illness. Or leave your clothes at Lakeside and disappear...
...only for a day. Then come back dishevelled and look mystified and say you can't remember the last 24 hours at all.

well what can I say... my heart bleeeds for you Lion...
At least you keep the ladies happy, that has to be a good thing. I prefer outdoorsy activities myself...no posh avenues for me. Anyway thanks for the laughs, and the shopping lament.

Not, at all, Maireclaire wicked you mam ?
I love sharp looking suits and expensive shoes and I own a few pairs, without seemly boasting . Its just that I don't enjoy going to the places you dress up for anymore. Maybe a meal out now and again , or the odd show or play in Colchester , I've always preferred picnics, camping , outdoors activates , I worked as a doorman and barman for a number of years , for some pretty flash clubs and restaurants, the Walker brothers establishments. Were like palaces . No I am doomed maireclaire, the females will have their day and pound of flesh !

Lion, you do for love don't you???
I hope you get some kind of pay off for this, well, something to reward your effort and generosity and sacrifice. If I were you I'd make them pay one way or another! Your wife owes you big time, so make sure you get your pound of flesh so to speak...there has to be some compensation somehow, somewhere. Just kidding.
I dragged my brother in perfume shop with my daughter in the Champs Elysées and surprise surprise he said he actually enjoyed it!!!We wondered if he was gay, but i don't think so, it just goes to show. One day you might actually enjoy shopping. Go spend at large on yourself that is, and leave the girls with an empty wallet for a change... just a thought. Come back with loads of shoes and sharp looking suits and watch their face drop. I am being wicked here.

Tricking them Maireclaire , I've got down on my warnout knees and
begged and begged them but they are heartless pirates of mens wallets and souls mam, its bad enough having your wallet taken off you for the day, but then having to also carry the goods it brought them for four or five hours !

Yes ! Thats it I will walk out of the closet on the day and declare my freedom of body mind and soul, become a Doris. I owe you a beer sweetheart bless you Tony .

lion, have you tried tricking the ladies with online shopping???
ah well, no getting around it I suppose. Not all ladies like shopping, you know...not for hours no way! It drives me nuts too. I would love to meet Aunty Doris, when are you going to introduce me?

Thank you Marieclaire so glad I could help with a laugh !
Hope you and yours are well , I just thought if I could write it down and make light of the tearable place in my mind where it dwells, it would make light or vanish, disappear even, but alas no, like a beast with the M25 London circular as its flapping tail it haunts my soul mam, though if you think its funny. Then I have saved someone from the jaws of doom and gloom, that are slowly devouring me .

Yes, the Dorises also rule through fear on the buses as well.
It's not safe to go near a post office in the morning, either. Perhaps if you dress up in an old coat and wig you might get some respect! Only joking - old people probably have a lot to complain about. And boy, do they.

Hi Tony , yep its getting nearer every shaking second
I keep thinking of it , eating away at the back of my mind and as for aunty Doris, she's fictional, but not down in Lakeside she's dam well not, with her sharpen umbrella end, elbows like flick knifes , blue rinsed hair, that pitiful stare if you dare complain when she knees you in the giron barging her way through too the front of the queue! Believe you me suicide is not painless as the song says, it is four or five hours in Lakeside . Thank you for your kind review friend . Mike

That lake sounds bloody awful, Mike
..but a lake is a lake, dirty or otherwise. A bit like parks. They're supposed to be havens of peace and beauty, yet they often end up as filthy meeting grounds for incontinent dogs and humans alike!

You have read my mind Troosha
Yes I would and always do, as soon as possible on our return from Lakeside, just off the M25 towards the Dartford Tunnel , driving on the M25 alone scares the life out of me, but in the back of mind , is that, Lakeside. A man made polluted pond surrounding four or five hours of hell, in Grays Thurock essex , I've tried numerous plans of deceiving good lady wife and daughter , for instance driving straight past and over the Queen Elizabeth suspension bridge into kent. '' Surprise, surprise ladys I am driving you down too Dover and taking the ferry across too France, duty free shopping in Cally ! What you say ladies.'NO, we won't Lakeside . Tony's guess is spot on , I know very soon now I will be asked first, then told. ''Oh yes you are,' the beginning of pantomime season , oh no I am not, ''yes you are dad.' And don't forget your wallet ! Last year two trips into the male mauling mall. No disrespect meant towards females, but why do you always go back to the very first store, you looked in and the item you was always going too buy in the first place ? After dragging your poor male friends and partners round every other shop in the mall first . Thank you Troosha
for reading my shaking with fear mind . Mike

this is teeming with wildlife...and humour.
I love this, and the free shoplifting training course for Aunty Doris may be...Where do you get those ideas? You do have a sharp wit. Shopping malls are just too much for me, too much going on.

Very intense imagery, Mike, fitting for the scenes described.
Have you had a premonition of the last week before Christmas, or is it already that bad? I read this several times over, and had a laugh or three. Good to hear Aunty Doris believes in safe surfing!

and paddling off into the peaceful river. Wouldn't you?
