Re: What is it with men....

Been mappin' out Maplin Mr.G, or RS components? Good gadgets, and I guess you are a dabster with that soldering iron? Now get on the end of that steam iron, and show some real domestic dedication, Huh?

She wears the gardening gloves though, but I operate the hedge trimmers, chainsaw, strimmer, shredder....
I'm very happy when Gibbo wants to play with the washing machine and the vacuum cleaner!!! It's the fiddling with gadgets.......

but I can see I'm in a minority here - Men

Re: What is it with men....

we bought the loons new ceiling fans....remote controled. Made silly mistake of showing them how they worked..... yep you guessed it...... for the following 3 weeks every night before bed....

lights on, lights off, fan slow, lights dim, fan high, light off, light dim - fan medium. Lights and fan off, light very dim dordering on off and fan on full tilt... and so on


I only got the hump 'cos Mrs F wouldn't let me have one :sulk:
