excuse me, i beg to differ!!! i won an award for my fantastic reverse parking



not really, but i'm bloody good

i bought my hubby a 50's style book on multi tasking as a stocking filler at christmas, he's refused to even look at it and was not amused!

Did you do your reverse parking between cars or was it in Woolies car park at 3am. lol

Put out the rubbish
Check the oil in the car
change tyres
Put air in tyres
Lift the bonnet
pay you lot complements all the time
put up with T.O.M every month
Drive with a sense of purpose
know how to merge onto a motorway
know how to park a car
Know how to reverse a car
Drink a large amount of alcohol without getting all silly
Put up with the girls on the phone for 4 hours chatting Crap to her friends
Set up anything electrical
Read maps cos you lot can't do it.
Unblock toilets
remove creepy crawlies from the house
Be a 24 hour security guard in our own house if you hear a bang in the night
Carry you home when you are bladered
Put up with 4 hours of shopping just to buy a pair of shoes
Put up pictures
cook properly
Wash cars
open wine /champagne
D.I.Y


Oh the list could go on and I am sure there will be some more additions.

Nice work Karma sent
Actually I put out the rubbish sometimes although I see it as hubbys job.
I can merge onto a motorway and reverse park and reverse around a corner skillfully too.
I wash my own car and depending on how generous i am feeling may wash my hubbys too!
I check the oil and water in my car and actually lift the bonnet myself.
I check tyre pressure and fill them if necessary AND I have been known to change the wheel too!
I set up electrical stuff cos my hubby can't be bothered to read the instructions. He tells me to read them and then show him how to 'work the thing'
I can put up pictures and drill a hole in the wall without the house falling down.
The reason you blokes think you do all these things is because you ARE THE MAN and feel we are not capable of them when in fact we are. If anything we are BETTER than you!!!

Oh, I just remembered that our other halves would not be too happy.

Lazzy buggers the both of them.

I'm a bloke and am as miserable as sin. My wife calls me Victor. One of my many sad past times includes shouting at the TV when stupid bloody adverts are shown, especially that tw*t on a tight rope for norton finance.

The stupid, b*stard git.

You would so get on with my OH.

We once had "Victor Meldrew" painted across our conservatory in that snow spray, because he told the neighbours to stop setting off bangers at half one in the morning

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack.

You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth.

The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another petrol station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay.

Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress £5000. Tux rental-£100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The occasional well-rendered belch is practically expected.

New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend.

Your underwear is £8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.

Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look.

You can "do" your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.

No wonder men are happier
well this man put together a bbq and a new wardrobe for his daughter`s room whilst the mrs spunked all his hard earned cash at ikea today FYI

LOL, I do stuff that like that as well!

I have a policy of abusing any advert I don't like, at the volume of my choice, using whatever vocabulary seems most appropriate at the time.

I do the same thing when Yanks appear on the telly, but that's another story...
