    It's a mans job. and here's why


    There was this bird right, and she buys this flat pack wardrobe. When it's delivered, she assembles it , and stands back , proud as punch.
    As she is hanging clothes in it, a train goes by, and the wardrobe collapses in a heap.
    Mad as heck she rings the store and insists that she either she gets it fixed or she gets a refund.
    So an engineer comes around and assembles the wardrobe in ten minutes, just as he is leving a train goes by and the wardrobe collapses.
    Mystified he puts it all back together, checks the joints then gets inside to see what happens, when the next train goes by, in fifteen minutes time.

    Whilst he waits the woman sits on the bed, doing her nails. Meanwhile the husband arrives home from work early, zooms up the stairs. Looks at his wife then hears a noise from the wardrobe. He opens the door in a rage, to see this guy cowering in the wardrobe
    'errrr, I am waiting for a train'

      Whichever they achieve it, I think you are missing the point.

      Women are devious minxes and the whole point of putting up flat pack furniture is not for the intended use (though that will be useful anyway).

      The giveaway was "10pm".

      She's obviously fallen out with the neighbours (or downstairs if you live in a flat), and she is using your manly obediance in order to make a lot of noise and peeve of the offending neighbour.

      Bascially, you've been "played"

      HTH
      Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

        He's already done those, why do you think he's assembling the furniture at 10pm

          I rather enjoy assembling stuff like flat pack furniture and always used to do it in our house, It was cheap & cheerful and meant you could change it often.

          However I have become disenchanted with the flat pack and am now more interested in solidly built stuff that lasts.
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

              I have been seriously considering making this stuff as my plan B. Desks in walnut, tables and display cabinets in cherry

                      She’s agreed, but says it'll have to be next year. She says she needs at least 18 months to fanny about choosing a dress, go on a diet, arrange guest lists, choose bridesmaids, arrange a decent band etc.

                      She might be a little disappointed when I turn up with jeans and t-shirt and say ‘right, where do I sign?’
