gotta say, this thread started because I left, as a laugh, one sheet lying over the top of the roll in the en-suite.

I have never mentioned in public the way that Skye leaves the tops off everything, usually a bovril jar so it drops out of your hand when you pick it up!

Or even the way that she completely trashes her car interior then blames me for not cleaning it regularly...

C'mon fellas, back me up here!?

You've hit a nerve here...

MY car - a CR-V - gets used for all sorts of transport: cement, mulch, garden implements, bricks etc. A certain person always complains bitterly how dirty it is. Yet *her* car can never be used for such things. And is held up as an example of how clean a car should be....

oh - and another thing, the magic 'pants' fairy lives in our house too, picks them off the floor and puts them in the 'magic basket' (this is the washing basket where other things hide but amazingly end up nice and clean in the wardrobe a few days later just to start the cycle all over again)

The Bloke has finally been trained to remove the empty loo roll from the holder.The next step is to teach him that he has to put it into the bin, not drop it on the floor and walk round it!

They are for when you've finished. You stick one of them up, and you can't go again for days. Saves loads of loo roll

without wishing to continue this pathetic 'them & us' situation...

Just tell me why women feel the need to 'tidy' all our tools/workstuff/wallets/cd's etc away?

We KNOW where they are, that's why we put them there... STOP HIDING STUFF!!!



oh boy am i in trouble now..........

Still on the subject of toilet roll - did anyone hear that quote from Sheryl Crow recently? She thinks you should only use one square of paper per visit. She obviously hasn't had a chicken madras washed down with a couple of pints of Guinness. Cameron Diaz is altogether more down to earth. Her suggestion was - If its yellow let in mellow, if its brown flush it down.

That's all well and good for Sheryl Crow, with her tiny ass she can probably get away with using only one. Me - I am more of a normal shape/size and need more than that!
