were you justifying your wife's behavior? do your friends know that your wife is not enthusiastic? do your friends need to know that your wife is not enthusiastic? are your friends H? A? M? wife = spouse? is it relevant that there are 4 friends? friends = chums? buddies? acqaintances? longtime friends? relevant? sports relevant? hobbies? activities? parties? | ||

Is your wife actually unenthusiastic? Do your friends know your wife? | ||

When you say theat to your friends are you indicating that she is a generally unenthusiastic person? When you say that to your friends is the enthusiasm attached to the relevant activity? are there relevant activities that you do? don't do? that your wife does? doesn't do? that you do with your wife? that you do with your friends? relevant how long you've been married? Have the friends met the wife? | ||

do your wife and yourself do this activity with your friends? at the same time as them? in the same place? could they do it as a group? could they do it individually? does it involve going somewhere? outside? another village/town/city/state? performing exercise? spending money? | ||

is what you spend money on relevant? do you have to pay money to get into somewhere? would you buy food or drink whilst there? do you have to pay to do the activity itself? do you need any objects to do the activity? if so one each? 2? 3? 4? 5? one per group? | ||

so you were invited out? and you had to say no because of your wife? so you told your friends this? and we need to know why? was it just so they didn't think you didn't want to go with them? that you weren't being rude? or unsociable? | ||

Did you use the words "my wife isn't very enthusiastic"? Did you imply that she wasn't enthusiastic about: your leaving the house? your drinking alcohol? your drinking alcohol with your friends? your getting drunk? your going to bars? your meeting other women? your doing some particular activity that you do when you're out with your friends? | ||

Did you use the words "my wife isn't very enthusiastic"? no Did you imply that she wasn't enthusiastic about: your leaving the house? your drinking alcohol? your drinking alcohol with your friends? this one but only on that occasion. She's normally quite tolerant your getting drunk? your going to bars? your meeting other women? LOL she definitely would have a problem with that but not relevant your doing some particular activity that you do when you're out with your friends? the exact words i used are relevant and the manner in which i used them is also | ||

Was the joke being played on you? on someone else, by you? Did your wife know of the joke? Is this the reason she was not enthusiastic? | ||
| Peter365 (Peter365)
New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 866 Registered: 1-2007 |
Was the joke being played on you? the joke in this case is more an in joke between my friends and I rather than playing a joke on someone on someone else, by you? so no Did your wife know of the joke? no and not relevant Is this the reason she was not enthusiastic? no the actual reason she wasn't enthusiastic is not relevant . lets just say that i'd promised to mow the lawn that night and therefore she didn't want me to go to the pub given that this puzzle has gone quiet a little clue for you all . what i actually said (although not verbally) was "Wife is not enthusiastic" I ran a similar themed puzzle some time ago called "With Friends like this" | ||

So you sent your friends an email which said "Wife is not enthusiastic"? Did it say anything else? Are any mistypings or other mistakes relevant? Could this puzzle work if you had said "Wife is not keen"? "Wife doesn't want me to go"? | ||

Is the running joke involved in your arranging to go for a pint the same one described in your previous puzzle (the confusion between riot/pint in predictive texting)? Is that relevant at all? | ||

Oh, oh - You were inviting them for WINE bibbing: Wife Is Not Enthusiastic??? din ding ding Spoiler I'm glad someone got that because it was dragging a bit. My mates and i used to invite each other for drinks by e-mail using sentences that the first letter of each word made a word connected to alcohal. Some examples would be Going Imbibing Now? Having A Rapid Pint? (HARP is an irish lager) and other silly stuff like that. Some of them were quite ingenious . However on this occasion i was unable to go having promised my missus that i wouldn't so i merely responded in the format that the question was asked. Well done lynne nice lateral leap there |
