Sometimes Sayings.

Second try at another episode about The Hater.

He was born in a little town/village in the foothills near the LaTrobe Valley in Victoria and he told me that he went to New Zealand in his late teens to avoid being called up for National Service. He settled in a largish town and took up a motor mechanic apprenticeship with the International truck dealer. He did not say whether he qualified or not. He married his first wife when she was 19 and was soon a father.

He bought a tow truck and started a 24 hour towing business. He taught his wife to drive and operate the towing equipment and soon she had to take the tow truck out at all times of the day and night to rescue vehicles. He blamed his wife for using too much drain cleaning liquid and causing the drains under their house to leak. He took up competitive woodchopping and when he would not cut firewood for the cooking stove, she used his competition axe to cut what she needed. He never forgave her for this and complained about it fifty years later. He told me several times about when he was two hours late picking her up from shopping and when he finally reached her, she was sitting at the bus stop with melted icecream running down her legs. He laughed that she had spent every penny she had, so had no bus fare to get home. He never told me that story again, after I said that the food she had bought was for him and his children and he had not given her enough money.

A few years later he moved back to Australia and moved in with his brother in a suburb of Melbourne, as I told you last week.

I had better stop now before this disappears.
 

Sounds like a not so nicer person, I do wonder what people get of life by been that way

Sounds like a complete a- hole that we'd rather not even hear about anyway!
Onward to more pleasant topics!

This may be my last description of The Hater, as a few people have said they do not want to hear about him.

When he came to Melbourne, he and his Wife joined a tennis club. There they befriended a couple I will call by the first initial of their given names, otherwise it will all get a bit confusing. The couple were C and S. The hater was R and his first Wife was L. After a few years both couples divorced, after which R hated L for leaving him but they all continued to play tennis with the same club. After a few years C married L. Later, S asked the opinion of her Daughter, who became my wife, about marrying R. My Wife said she would not but if her Mother wanted to, it was up to her. Once they married, R started calling himself my Wife's Stepfather, although my Wife had been married to her first husband for several years and had two children with him, She had divorced him before I met her.

R Hated L for leaving him and on many occasions claimed that when she died, he would run naked down the main street of their suburb. When she did die, he claimed that he no longer felt like running naked.

When my hearing started deteriorating, I paid for a pair of hearing aids and had to take them back every so often to have a hearing check and have the aids calibrated. R laughed at me for wasting money and bought himself a pair of hearing aids over the internet. He said that he intended to set them up and calibrate them himself. I asked him did he think he could learn from the internet what my audiologist had spent up to seven years studying. He said, yes, anybody can do it after three or four hours. Some years later, he still had not done so and when I asked him why, he said that it was not appropriate to wear hearing aids while he was target shooting. (which was his latest hobby after his age prevented him from deer stalking and then duck shooting) I told him that a sensible person would turn off his hearing aids or remove them, while shooting.

There is a little more to tell but I will wait until I see whether more people like it or want me to stop.

You should send that in as a script for Neighbours/Home and Away" or "Days of Our Lives".

Lang,
It is far too exciting for Neighbours, Home and Away or Days of our Drearies.
I might have to send it to Real Housewives of bum-fuck nowhere. (the last three words are what a character in a book by Liane Moriarty, called any place he did not want to visit)

 

Morris, you're vewy, vewy wood!

Wee-allison, you're obviously more conversant with that language, than I. 
Could you please explain, or give a definition? 

V8Ian,
Yair, aint I a stinker? (that line is from a cartoon character, I think it was Daffy Duck)

WeeAllis,
Think about Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck or some other cartoon character.  The "w" is instead of "r" and "wood" is pronounced as Rude but with a "W" instead of "R", or at least that is the way I see it.

It is not polite to make fun of people with a speech impediment but it is OK to quote or misquote cartoon characters.
