At last...it has a name

Acrylic-bob · 03-03-2005, 06:58

I have been wondering for some time what is "up" with me. Now I know. And in a spirit of equality, I am going to enjoy it to the full! You thought PMT made women tetchy - you aint seen nothin yet! Acrylic-bob has IMS!

So what is IMS actually like, A-B? Like a rag-week compressed into one day?

WillowTheWhisp · 03-03-2005, 08:19

Now just because you've got a name for it that doesn't mean you have free reign to be as nowty as blazes A-b.

Women have had far more practice at this.

If A-B, joins a monastry will he get IMS at the same time as the other monks?
lt always amazes me that when women live together, very often their cycles go into tandem, so to speak!

Never had PMT. I'm a bitch all the time .....

My late husband suffered from IMS. It usually coincided with me asking him to do something, like "Just knock that wall down, love" or "Wire me a couple of double sockets into the kitchen, dear", and Sport being on the telly.

I've got the opposite problem. Busman has a penchant for knocking down walls.

Thats only because I suffer from I.M.S. Willow. I get the urge to drastically change something about once a month and now understand why (thank you A-b, ) so to keep harmony in the home, maybe it will be best to let me "take down that wall" otherwise, I willl get irritable and moany.........

Think nothing of it pal, anything to help a fellow sufferer, perhaps we should form a group and apply for council funding.

I don't believe it! It has a name at last. My dad has suffered from this for years. He shows symptoms of this every day but we've always called it Victor Meldrew syndrome...

WillowTheWhisp · 04-03-2005, 14:35

I thought they only got that after a certain age.

Acrylic-bob · 04-03-2005, 16:11

No, apparently you can get it at any age, it just gets more intense as you get older, isn't that right chaps?

My son says his father-in-law, who suffers from IMS, is the roll model for Victor Meldrew. Things happen to him.

He lives in Southend and a couple of years ago a new sex-shop opened in a shopping centre nearby. There were protests and demonstrations outside the place but Alan's in-laws, out shopping, decided they'd go in and have a look to see what all the fuss was about. The shop was quite full of people and father-in-law was standing innocently looking at some items on a shelf when suddenly the door burst open and a woman stuck her head inside the shop, looked straight at him (ignoring everybody else), shouted "pervert" then slammed the door again.
