Women

[ARW]

FFS either learn how to understand a joke or just learn how to make nice hair do.

Don't try to do both at the same time.

[Cursitor Doom]

Better still, make nice tea.

But whatever you do DO NOT get in to conversation re DIY, I have spent 2 hours trying to explain why I need different saws both hand and power variations, she still doesnt get it....A saw is a saw to kitchen warriors.

[Bob Eager]

Ask her why she needs, wooden, plastic and metal spoons.

[ss]

That equals ...divorce! We are not allowed to question them and in any case they woudnt know the answer :-)

[S Viemeister]

And bamboo. And silicone.

[Brian-Gaff]

Yours maybe, but quite a few women are very good at DIY. I'd imagine if you are not interested it all seems a bit odd. Have you ever tried to understand the various stitches yu can get on a sewing machine? Brian

Brian-Gaff scribbled

Yes, but I'm lost with knitting. HTF can they knit, talk and watch the box at the same time?

[Tim Streater]

Years of practice in their crone outfits sitting waiting for the tumbrils.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Because none of those activities requires a brain.

[spuorgelgoog]

Yes, they're all quite clearly explained in the manual.

As is threading them up, winding bobbins, and attaching feet.

Waste of time though, some staples and gaffer tape will hold most textiles together.

Some of those replies remind me of Isis Wenger a few months ago.

[ss]

Yes and I can use one and also knit, but there lies another issue when I tell her the tension in her stiches is wrong, goes ballistic is an understatement, still I risk that to wind her up but never never will I even suggest she has under or over cooked some veg, I dont think I would survive.

[Bob Eager]

They are for the bedroom.

[harry]

You married yet :-)???

[S Viemeister]

Bamboo???

[Chris Hogg]

Yep. All the rage with tree huggers and Gaiaphiles:

[S Viemeister]

Well, yes. I've had bamboo _kitchen_ tools for ages. I was wondering what Bob used bamboo for in the _bedroom_...

[spuorgelgoog]

Whisking the bedtime ovaltine?

Owain

[S Viemeister]

Hmm.
