    As, I believe, the sole represetative of the male population in this (highly amusing) thread;

    A ":p" to you all!
    "Part P" is not, and has never been, an accredited electrical qualification. It is a Building Regulation. No one can be "Part P qualified."

  • My OH is banned from doing the washing as he shrunk my very nice angora jumpers! They would have fitted a small child!

    He is also now banned from gardening as he has destroyed trees and bushes with his "pruning", last week I had a lovely cherry tree now I have a couple twigs, grrrrr.
  • Upon reflection, given the choice, I'd prefer a wife. And I'm not even gay. Lol.

    I was mortified when a friend was suggesting men should have 2 wives, until she explained about a tribe in Africa.

    My friend knew a family where there were 2 wives. One had a career she wanted in the city, the other stayed at home and looked after the children. When the husband was being out of order, they kicked him into touch. I think they both wore the trousers together. When she explained the benefits it sounded so much better than marriage here.

    My OH left the freezer open........three times........

    The last time I made him come shopping to Tesco and pay to refill it with all the prawns, steak etc that was in there, honest ;)

    Our fridge and freezer door beeps at you if it's left open for longer than 30 seconds. I'm like Pavlov's dog now, I just can't leave any fridge door open for fear of the beeps.

  • Glad its not just me who is annoyed with the OH
  • i need to keep this thread in my bookmarks to remind me why I dont actually want a man in my life when I get low and wish I had one.

    Ive been on my own almost 3 years bar the odd fling, my dad mows my garden, my brother sorts any computer issues and mr big from a certain online site deals with my other 'needs' and then does literally go back in my bedside cupboard til hes needed again :D

    Lol. It sounds like those two women worked out a way of getting a wife without being gay.
  • Maybe we should swap.

    I have a wife who stays at home, claims to be busy with the children (who are now at creche/school age), who goes out on the p*ss and appears to just cook.

    I go to work, Do 1/2 the washing. Sort and put it away. Wash the dishes, tidy the garden, hoover up, clean up, & then the usual deep cleaning (under & inside sofa's, remove marks from walls etc).

    After 48-60hr working weeks, I continue to moan and protest, but still no change seen.

    Maybe its a generational thing but my girlfriend would be much more likely to do something like that than I would!

    Women certainly have their uses. They're good at cuddles, good at ironing and sex is always a nice bonus too.

    In my experience (again maybe a generational thing!) but men are much better cooks. I do the majority of the cooking in my relationship and most of my friends are the same.
