The perfect* crime and a cheap evening out?

[Bobthebeard]

If, say, one had a garage with a beer fridge in it, only one key and a comfy chair...

Then one asked ones wife if it would be ok if one went out for the evening to 'meet some folk from Autoshite' but actually stayed in the garage drinking beer and smoking the occasional ciggy ( after one has ahem given up smoking )whilst ones wife thought you were miles away in a pub.... Would that be classed as weird?

Thought so....

[chaseracer]

Thought not....

 

Edited for complete reasonableness

[hairnet]

need pics of this garage.........

[chaseracer]

...and a beer, please

[Bobthebeard]

Pics of the hypothetical garage interior are denied under the Official Secrets Act 2013. It doesn't actually* exist.

If you have a "pass out" then isn't going to the pub or meeting other shiteists is preferable to sitting in a garage on your own ...

Absolutely not. The joy and peace of solitude knows no equal.

Just don't let it get to this stage (mildy nsfw text):

I have a garage but don't like beer     anyhoo the misses would see the light shining around door or windows so I am stuffed

Local pub contains no shiteists. Just VW/Audi/posh twat and his mates.....

Tedious....

True indeed!

Bob, I have been known to book a days leave from work then set off as usual and spend the day reading in a field.

 

As there is zero outside coms at work its reasonably safe* for me to seek this peace and solitude.

This actually means more to me than you could possibly know!

Thank you

[Bobthebeard]

Ahem... Cough....

Sorry.

As you were! Moment of weakness.

[oman5]

I have a "man shed" that I bought for this very purpose.

Also been there and done that. It is utterly required at times. You were quite right about the state of the NHS Marty.

 

Anyway, do it. It makes perfect sense in this stupid arse, hassled and fuckwit filled world.

 

Feel no shame or guilt.

Used to do it all the time 'cept I just told the girlfriend the ...er...truth.

[mercrocker]

There used to be gentlemen's clubs...There used to be the pub too, but now they let women and kids in - even before they became Tescos....Instead, rent a garage and buy a Humber or a Wolseley or something (it doesn't have to be a runner - you aren't going to drive it anywhere).   Fill the glovebox with a fully charged hip flask, a couple of Panamas and a 1970s Penthouse mag ( with proper muff ).   Your own leather and walnut Gentlemans Club for less than membership to a yap-filled baby-van encrusted Gym....  

[RedSparrow]

Nowt wrong with this at all. I always thought that if I ever get married I would definately have a shed/garage/allotment to escape to to drink beer and smoke in peace.

[Cavcraft]

I just go down to 'Date Stamp Garages LTD' and clean my cars.

[Grundig]

I have a detached garage that I can retreat  to, the door is temperamental & there is a knack to open it, so even if the present Mrs Grundig knows I'm in there, she can't get in   I can spend hours in there mooching - doing things but not actually doing anything, if that makes sense??

Perfect sense. Words like "tinkering" and "pottering" were invented just for chaps like us, who wish to mask our need for solitary time away from our wives/girlfriends. We seldom hear of a woman either tinkering or pottering - it doesn't seem to apply to them, somehow?

WAGS - they have "retail therapy"
