HTH (hope that helps)

p.s. sorry Kieran for using it

I first heard it used by John Mortimer's immortal Rumpole of the Bailey.

I do use SWMBO - I think it's inoffensive, personal enough without being familiar, and is easy to type. Personally I don't like the use of "the wife", "the missus", and if I just referred to Gill, no one on here would know who I meant.

So, Kieran, what abbreviation/description should we use instead of SWMBO? Should we have a forum vote? We could then have an official club term for our "better half" - or should that be "significant other", so we can include those of us who are not married?

Thinking about it, I never use the term SWMBO anywhere else but on here...................

Now you are just mixing

Our female members can easily use HWMBO if they wish, although I don't see me being seen as that by my wife (her name's Ruth by the way).

Any gay members would simply use the same method. However, one thing that annoys me is the use of so called "political correctness". Who decided what is or is not "correct" anyway!

what gets to me is , people who start posts about what upsets them about this forum and the people on it, if we were all the same, life would be very boring.....

I do, as my opinions are forthright.
