I have sympathy for all married men...we're all in the same financial boat. Its hard to see my hard earned money being spent on a pair of bling shoes that will never be worn.

Buy a bottle of capsaicin (the active ingredient of chillis) and paint it on the doorknobs in their offices.

You've made me feel all bad because I wasn't sympathetic enough. What's this country coming to?

A day? An hour of my time should be worth that in my view. We live in an unjust world that does not properly recognise my worth.
