I am a modern man. (Open to allsorts of flack now). I can cook, I can iron, I can do house work, I can use a thing called a hoover. I have a forces and boarding school upbringing, Basically I can look after myself. With a forces and boarding school upbringing comes the knowledge of time keeping. I have been married 26 yrs and her time keeping has got worse, she will be late for her own funeral. Tea is burnt, the dogs eaten it ( note:- got to get a dog). Serious question :- does anyone know how to use a washing machine.

i'm a bit unsure if there is even a question in your post. or is it just a general moan about er indoors?!
as for me, I can do everything around the house, all the chores, EXCEPT ironing. I severely dislike doing it and if i'm honest, crap at it too. it's the only thing I cant and won't do.
My missus is good. She does most of the housework and we mainly walk the dogs together. I usually do the cooking and then she does the washing up. pretty fair deal.

corrected that for you :smilewinkgrin:
hmm. obviously you both been lacking in your education.
1. burn the dinner. she won't want you to cook again.
2. mix the white washing with the colours and set the machine on 90deg. she won't ask you to do the washing again.
3. chip a couple of the plates belonging to the dinner service her mother willed to her. you'll never have to wash up again.
4. what's the point of ironing stuff that creases up as soon as you wear it/lie on it/ hang it up?

I do all the washing in our house. She just can't do it right, she puts darks and lights in together and everything. I only iron what really needs doing, I just see it as a waste of time and electric! My first wife made me iron everything, even her freaking knickers, said they were more comfortable when they were ironed!

1, I cook, I like my food.
2, Tried it, I got burst eardrums.
3, We've got a dishwasher, Her idea is chuck it in and switch it on and then say it doesn't work because it comes out dirty.

You sound just like my old man. That's more or less what he told me when I was getting married. The only thing you left out was when vacuuming leave obvious crumbs etc then she will get fed up doing it properly after you that you won't even have to bother.
F******************* wrong button pressed. continuation of 3 to Tel, I re-load it CORRECTLY, hey hoe, shiny bright.
4, I really do like sharp creases. Not bat wings like some people go with, but down the shin knife edges. Any ex-army will know what I mean.
Anyway, she's back now so "I is happy bunny"

Manufactures instructions lol.
I have an automatic magic carpet. I leave dirty laundry on it and it magically appears in the wardrobe washed dried and ironed.
Funny thing about it though it seems to stop working if the missus gets up in the morning to no coffee and an unlit fire.... Bizzarre I know but hey if it works

I'm ex military (well was military till I got crocked)
Can iron, but don't (well suits I will do etc (AND put RN razor sharp creases into them) but normal clothes...meh)
Laundry I'm better at than the mrs...
Dishes....if I do them then they are ALL clean first time, with her it can take 2 or 4 tries....
Also I know how to empty the vacuum AND clean the filters (amazing how much more it picks up with clean filters......)
I also can shine my own boots (though rarely remember to...should as my feet would probably be a heck of a lot drier with a more regular application of boot polish) when I was in the RN I bet someone I could take a set of boots from dull and disasterous to parade ground colour party bulled standard....they lost...something like 20 minutes the pair and they were like glass.....

Blimey, glass boots, did you find the Cinderella to wear them???
Just got a picture there of all these chaps lining up on the deck of a ship, all trying these boots on...

Turning up on a passing out parade as part of the colour party / guard with boots anything less than glasslike....to put it mildly would be a mistake of big proportions.....
Why am I getting an image of Clive Dunn flashing in my head?
I have a Dishwasher,a Cooker,a Cleaner,a Bed warmer and she performs well in all those functions,with or without instructions
You all should have married Welsh girls
Those sort of nightmare experiences described could never have arisen
I can assure you all,the art of not getting involved with womens work is healthy and strong in these parts, and long may the natural order of life continue

You know Tel .. since reading that, I'm beginning to see you in a new light - you're not all that much different to a Geordie. (are all Scousers the same as you?)
I think I'm beginning to like you.

Aye, and they have the added bonus of never asking you to buy them a sheepskin coat too. Conversation is a bit limited though ( not such a bad thing? ) as they can only say one word .. Bahhh - or is it Bach??
