It is a good job the Army used to provide his work clothing or he would never have got a job! I still have to steer him in hte right direction, or if I'm not available he takes our daughter (9) as she has more idea than he does!
Men - if they can put one on the moon how come they can't put them all there?

So you have never brought any of your own clothes then?
May be that is a bad idea

Mmmm so true, but not all men are the same (apparently).
Mine seems to buy loads of shoes and boots but hates buying clothes.

But I buy electrical items like a woman shopping for clothes. I will go in every shop at least once then go back to the most likely 3 until I make a choice. Then I put it back and decide I could probably manage without it.

He will buy power tools too, and yes he would wear them if he could.

A utility belt is always good. You can have lots of useful things dangling from it, all within easy reach: Bottle opener, arse scratcher, the list goes on...
Secretly, most men want to wear a utility belt all the time.
And a drill that looks like a gun Cheers,

Apparently colour-blind means that either the red, blue or green receptors is over-sensitive so I see things more vivid that most. It only gets confusing with pastel shades - my mum had some beige doors for a while and my over-active green sensors saw them as green. The worst one ever was when I painted a room in a very pale pink and as I got more and more paint on the wall it went from white to purple to pink for me

Started off in the fruit section, some very nice woman was wearing one of those low cut skin tight tops, so I got caught having a perv, although she had a smile on her face. Then I had to negotiate around the old people, who like to chat in the middle of the isle. Did the shop went to the check out the lady helped me pack to start off with, but, then lost interest after 5 mins. She bought the total up £97 pound nearly fainted. Got home and started carrying the shopping up stairs. 1 of the bags broke which sent the fanta bottles down 2 flights of stairs.
Now I'm waiting on my girlfriend to come home, so I can tell her the price of the shopping, I did buy her flowers though it may help, but, I doubt it. I am wondering if there are any courses for men that can't shop? Anyway, if uou don't hear from me again, you know what happened to me.
