Let's just say they have long memories, John... And leave that grudge stuff alone 'er next thing ya' know we'll have a real food fignt on our hands...

Right now we kinda got 'um where we want 'um 'cause none can just come out and say that the man was "right"... It's a wirin' thing... I was lookin' a schematic drawing of a woman's thinkerator just the other night and it looked alot like e road map of Wes Ginny which might explain a few things... Or not???

'cause none can just come out and say that the man was "right"

There have been occasions when I've admitted the Kendall was right. Mostly I use logic and he ends up seeing my point of view.

I generally just accept that Anne is right - but that doesn't mean I'm wrong!

On the occasions when I am wrong, I am made to sign a chit to that effect, and they are posted on the kitchen noticeboard. I've just counted them - 6 since 2003.

Back in the olden days, when this womanz was in the prime of sweet young thinghood, the beau bought a brand new little sports car. I forget what it was -an MG or triumph- something of that ilk. The first night he got it, we went cruising through the local drive-in restaurant parking lot and he collected an entourage to go to the car wash where all the local wags could admire it under the bright lights of one of the stalls. Car buffs all, amateur mechanics. I was the only female in the bunch, and my knowledge and interest in cars extended to wanting to know where the gas cap was, and no further.

When enough oohing, awing, and looking under the hood had been accomplished, and we were all set to head back to the drive-in, the shiny, new little car would not start.   Up went the hood again, and four heads poked, fiddled, cranked, opined, etc., etc.

Early on, I commented that I had heard a little metallic clank when we stopped the car on arrival. I was completely ignored. Several minutes later, I very tentatively opined that maybe some one should look under the car. that metal clank, you know. Again, I was ignored.

Increasingly bored with the whole affair, I eventually looked under the car myself, and found a shiny, round, concave metal somethingorother with a lip that looked to me like it might be designed to seal or cap a hole. It looked brand new. The car was brand new. It was under the engine of the car. The car wouldn't start. All the poking, jiggling, fiddling with sparkplug wires, etc., on the part of our 4 heros were having no effect.

"Uh, Guys? Any of you know lots more than me, but so far you haven't found anything amiss. I found this under the car. It is so shiny and new, seems like it must have come off the car.   Might it seal something to create a vacuum, or....you know....might it have something to do with the problem?"

They didn't completely ignore me this time in that the beau did take the piece from my hand, and agree it was shiny and new enough to have come off the car. The guys collectively spent three seconds looking at it before agreeing that what ever it was, it couldn't be the problem. Eventually, they put a tow strap on the new little car and towed it to the dealership to be looked at the next day, and beau got one of them to take me home.

At the dealership the next day, the mechanic quickly noted the metal cap needed for some hose or engine compartment to create a vacuum seal for the engine to start and run was missing.

"Oh," says the beau. "This one?" pulling the piece I had found the night before from the back seat.

"Yep" said the mechanic. Beau had the decency to look sheepish.

5 minutes later we were out of there.

Don't start me on logic and its lack thereof...

If you had an old thin piece of wood, would you soak it in hot water for 45 minutes and agitate at speed in a metal drum?

That's what happened to my grandmothers' 50yr old wooden handled sewing bag when I mentioned that it was dirty and needed a wash...

It's the same with certain items that melt in hot water or are labelled 'not safe for dishwashers'.

Ho hum.

Sorry Bobert, but I can only speak as I find, and so far in my 40something years, many of which have been spent with men, I have yet to find any evidence that they are the superior beings they think they are.

There was one I lived with who, if I bought an electrical appliance (toaster, kettle, that sort of thing) would ask who fitted the plug. If I replied that I had done it, he would immedately take a pair of scissors and cut it off 2 inches from the plug and rewire it with no comment. If I told him the "man in the shop" had done it, he left it as it was without inspecting it.

In the end, I fitted the plugs and just told him that the "man in the shop" had done it. Nothing I wired ever blew up, neither did I ever burn my ass on a gas fire as he did - but that's another story!

Well, Lizzy... I can't answer fir one dumbass man and I have never said that we men are the superior race 'cause that would sound sexist... All I have stated is that men "can be right", even if it's only in admi8tting they are wrong... And after a week I haven't seen any of the Mudwomenz come up and say, by golly, it is possible for a man to be right...

So, inspite of yer plug-phoblic man, I'm putting this one down in the Bobert "Victory Column", thank you...

I once had to pick up the keys for the local scout hut so that we could use it for the festival, the "scout lady" had moved house during the year & left me a message on my phone to say:- As you know we have moved, drive to Hanney & we are the last road on the right, number 3. So I had to drive THROUGH Hanney to ensure that I had run out of right turns & then go back & take the first left!
A street name would have been good or 5th on the right!
