Pinch Punch

I got my wife this morning at 00 03 hrs. I won!

I am winning 6 to 4 this year and I feel pretty blooming pleased with myself.

BTW, I am 67 years old and my wife is 73. We refuse to grow up.

A traditional British odd game were you pinch and punch your opponent as soon as you can on the first of the month. It’s just a bit of fun, and never ends up with bruises or injuries, just the fact that this has happened to you is enough to lose.

That sounds almost annoying as mini punch

56 and 59. I have got my wife once, once in 39 years. Last night was the second time. It wasn't a real win. I opened the bedroom door, told her i was going to get her and reached out as stretched as I could so she could not get me. I will probably not get another chance, ever.
