Subject: Men Multi Tasking From: Rasener Date: 26 Feb 09 - 01:41 PM Who says men can't multitask. I am typing this post, eating my dinner, drinking some wine, watching the Villa match on my laptop and watching England scoring lots of runs on Sky. Beat that :-) |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Don Firth Date: 26 Feb 09 - 01:55 PM Does yawning and scratching count? Don Firth |
Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: TheSnail Date: 26 Feb 09 - 02:07 PM Come on, Don. That should be yawning, scratching and farting. |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: GUEST,punkfolkrocker Date: 26 Feb 09 - 02:28 PM I'm cooking dinner for the mrs [reheating yesterdays leftovers with an added tin of beans and dollop of chilli sauce] before she gets home from 'Keep Fit'; downloading some tripe MOR 80's music for her mp3 player; planning what to watch or record on the telly tonight depending on whatever mood she may be in; thinking up plausible excuses for why I just spent too much £££$ off our joint credit card on music equipment off ebay... |
Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Rasener Date: 26 Feb 09 - 02:49 PM punkfolkrocker, you sound like a very caring person who looks after his wife and multitasks at the same time. I hope she appreciates what you do. |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Georgiansilver Date: 26 Feb 09 - 03:05 PM I am breathing/eating/typing on here/watching "The Bill"/ talking to a friend on the phone. Is that multi tasking? |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Rasener Date: 27 Feb 09 - 08:56 AM LOL Keep it going guys. Had to multi task at Tesco's yesterday. Get trolley and put bags in trolley, whilst pushing it and guiding it. Reading the shopping list and deciphering what the missus means, whilst still, walking, pushing, guiding, saying hello to somebody you dislike, picking up the vegatables that keep on dropping on the floor and talking to the missus on the mobile phone about the items she has forgotten. Phew knackered after all of that. :-) |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Don Firth Date: 27 Feb 09 - 12:57 PM I'm keeping my ear to the ground, my eye on the ball, my shoulder to the wheel, and my nose to the grindstone. I find it a bit difficult to get anything done in this position. . . . Don Firth |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 28 Feb 09 - 11:32 AM The ability to do several things well at the same time is impressive, and useful. But all too often what people mean when they talk about "multi-tasking" is an alibi. It masks an inability to priorise on that need to be done, and to focus enough attention on the one in hand to make sure it gets done properly. |

Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Acorn4 Date: 28 Feb 09 - 02:25 PM Most men nowadays seem to be able to have a pee and talk down a mobile at the same time. Was this vicious rumour that we can't started by that Gerry Ford?? |
Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Folkiedave Date: 28 Feb 09 - 06:25 PM I can drink beer and watch Football on the telly - all at once. Men's ultimate muti-task is to die in their sleep. |
Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: Don Firth Date: 28 Feb 09 - 09:37 PM Peeing the bed while sleeping? Don Firth |
Subject: RE: Men Multi Tasking From: skipy Date: 28 Feb 09 - 09:52 PM My wife is very good at multi-asking! e.g. Have you hoovered the spare room yet, when are you going to fix that door handle, are you going to trim that hedge et. etc. etc.! Skipy |
