Irritating BS your SO does

[Captain Oates 910]

I see you've been studying the male/female playbook then, Alan.

These are men's options.

A Join the army and live for 6 months in a sheep hut up a mountain in Afghanistan

B be like Freddy

C be a priest (see B)

D Become a geek and live with your mother

E become a eunuch at my harem

F Understand the dynamics and play it to win

G Become Bill Clinton and go watch footy in South Africa with some township action after

Note: Much resilience and time out with the boys is required to make F work. Most proponents are only partially successful.

And I assume their success (or lack thereof) has more to do with female interference than male incompetence or failing to apply oneself to the task at hand?

-1.5= 2

'Male incompetence', 'flat earth', 'intelligent design', 'eating ancestors brains to become more intelligent', 'winning the hearts and minds of the Afghan people', 'virgin births', 'change you can believe in' are concepts that I find impossible to envisage (envision)

Unlike 'fish and chips 5 times a week'

I was speaking only hypothetically. I too find the concept of male incompetence almost mind-boggling and mythical. If I have offended, I can offer a bacon sandwich by way of a peace offering. Or a kettle. Or a proper duvet.

Speak and ye shall receive, O Great One.

I was a virgin AT birth...

I see what you are saying about male incompetence. It must be an oxymoron. I often use derivatives of 'moron' when referring to males, too.

I think I need a bucket to throw up in...I may not be cut out for this harem thing.

I think Val needs to be locked up for that insubordination, Alan. I'd be happy to step into the Andy Rooney Sunday night slot whilst she is serving out her time.

What? WHAT? I SAID it was an oxymoron. Any perceived sarcasm is a supposition on your side.

That's right, Val. Throw up your smokescreen.

Grovelling is excellent !

You are reinstated to 3.5 including ref to duvets - that mystical invention of English Exceptionalism (shame about the French name).

You are definitely on the right lines in your life - kettle - duvet - English bacon.

If you say you have HP sauce and branston pickle, I would cast aside all my sexist attitudes forever (as long as it was true)

Well, I do happen to have those condiments in my fridge right now. There's also a packet of Wine Gums in my cupboard and 18 tins of Heinz Baked Beans in the larder.
