It has been brought to my attention that when I refer to my good lady on this blog as, "the wife" she finds this offensive, disrespectful and the like. I tried pointing out that I wasn't using SWMBO (she who must be obeyed) to refer to my wife, like Simon does to his! However, her objection remains intact. Any suggestions of a better title? I suspect "The termagant" might equally be vetoed by herself.
That Hideous Man posts his rather dull thoughts here. Watch this space, or indeed, go somewhere else.
Although I may not be the best one to offer advice on this, I'll chip in anyway. How about "her indoors"? I doubt anyone will be confused as to who that is. Perhaps "wifey". Some other suggestions - take your pick :

If none of these suffice, perhaps the least troublesome one would be the "My beaufiful wife who I love and cherish dearly". Bit of a mouthful though. I'd just stick with wifey.
"The War Department" LOL!
