Dingus   10 #121 Posted December 10, 2013 Does this comment have any relevance to your assertion that all possessions are jointly owned in a marriage, and that being contradicted by Manlinose?  You only ever find out who owns what in a marriage when you cease to be married. I'm sure John Cleese had a lot of things that he thought were his until his wife's lawyer and the judge told him otherwise. Perhaps he should have come to you two for advice.

Cyclone   10 #122 Posted December 10, 2013 What advice did I give? Perhaps you've failed to actually read my post.  ---------- Post added 10-12-2013 at 13:11 ----------  Does this comment have any relevance other than your need to make a post every 5 minutes so folk know you are alive.  No, you're comment has no relevance.

Manlinose   10 #123 Posted December 10, 2013 poppycock tree huggers are the 1st to demand lifts especially it the start and end points of the journey are not accessable by one bus ride  plus they don't contribute towards the petrol  would you want to date a man like this?  i certainly wouldn't!  ---------- Post added 10-12-2013 at 13:39 ----------  You only ever find out who owns what in a marriage when you cease to be married.

Old Tom   10 #126 Posted December 12, 2013    No, I don't. (own a car)  Don't want one, don't need one. My wife drives and I can also use buses, trains and taxis.  Doesn't that rather justify what the OP was saying. If you drive yourself and go out with a guy who can't drive you wind up stuck with a halibut and get stuck with ferrying him around for the rest of your life.

Even some people who have always had cars frequently choose to not use them - look at the number of people with cars who walk/cycle/catch the bus to work.

I think it goes something like this. You get invited out for a meal at the Barrel at Bretton. Your wife has a car and thinks I'll go along in that on my own and my husband who doesn't drive can take 3 buses until he reaches Grindleford and then hike the last 5 miles across the moors. I do believe the idea of owning a car is so you can go places in it not leave it parked outside to prevent bird muck from landing on the drive. The fact that only one partner can drive certainly sorts out those debates about whose turn it is to drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why would he want to take 3 buses?  I drive, own a car and often leave it at home. Why drive individually when you can share the journey (partner has a car too).
