    It is important here to distinguish between chore avoidance and chore evasion. Example of chore avoidance is to delegate to someone else, or for example buy a dishwasher, chore evasion in contrast to chore avoidance is punishable, examples of chore evasion inlcude disappearing out the house just after the meal.

      Or pissing off out of the country for a week working leaving the wife with a house that looks like a bomb has gone off in it.

      NB: I'd better not complain this week if there's been a strike

        Are dishwashers any good at chore avoidance ? Just fitted one this week, haven't used it yet, a bit sceptical myself but the Mrs eventually broke me down.

        Always a bit anti after the broken one in a house I rented in Oz became the home for 10,000 cockroaches.

          I worked with a woman who washed the loo seat in the dishwasher. She claimed it has the only way to get it really clean.

          I never did accept the invite to pop around for a meal.

            You are more likely to get killed in the Kitchen than in any other room in the house.

              In a few months time you will realise it was a marriage saver.

              The thing in Oz, way too much information

                I do the washing up though, well most of it !

                A bit more info ! We smoke bombed the house and then hoovered them up, got a great pic of a huge hoover bag of dead cockroaches. The fitter ones took a few days to die and would fall on your head while you were watching Neighbours.
