    Some truly excellent and insightful answers – I thank you all. I am now cleverer than I was before – this is great

      Can you do some waxing eloquently on philosophy here please? Philosophy is usually such a disappointment, but I’m keen to be convinced that it’s not just vacuous bullcarp.

        However most men can out perform this by being able to conduct doggy style s*x on the carpet while watching the footie on the TV and drinking beer at the same time

        However if the tasks involve something more substantive such as running complex multi faceted projects, then they are really no better or worse than yer Joe Bloggs... just (very occasionally) prettier

        HTH
        If women can multitask, why can't they have sex and a headache at the same time?

          Depends on how much I've had to drink.

              Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

                That women and multi tasking thing is rubbish. Notice how it is put around by women. I can multi task but I choose to unitask so that I can do one thing correctly instead of a half @rsed job on two fronts.

                My wife seems to think she has a more logical thought process than me. My argument is that I work in IT and have a degree in maths. Most of what I do is driven by logic. The problem is that her logic fails to grasp it. That is, her basic logic deems my superior logic to be illogical. Which is why I win. Logical really!

                I preferred version 1!

                  I don't think it’s a myth, I've seen some phenomenal female multitaskers. They don't go deep though.

                  Possibly men could do the same if they stayed shallow enough though.

                      I like it Churchill. Now, what were you saying about Ferret?
