        That sounds more like a slave than a cleaner.

            Modern life eh? Call me old fashioned but I kind of like being able to do things for myself. Many people seem to have zero practical skills these days. Maybe some people don't like the more domestic tasks I get that, but I increasingly meet men who can't do much at all, be it a minor repair to the car, hanging some wallpaper, putting up a picture hook etc etc.

              They are all dead easy to do if you've got the correct phone numbers.
              I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. [Christopher Hitchens]

                I've done that

                Working away, never got around to doing the washing at the weekend. I had summat clean for Monday, and went shopping on the way from ClientCorp to the pub on Monday evening to buy enough clothes for the rest of the week.

                I did it again about a month later

                  Don't you feel like a wimp though? A real man has a toolbox.

                    Why should he feel like a wimp? I couldn't think of anything worse than having to decorate - I'll paint if I have to, but **** wallpapering and similar. I'd genuinely rather go to work and earn money so that I can pay someone else to do it. Actually, I hate DIY in general but I'll put up with hanging things, building furniture and shelves or whatever.

                    I do most of my car work myself because it's a hobby, but if I've got cash in the bank then I'm not going to choose to change a clutch on the drive in December for example (Reminds me of the time I had to change a brake caliper at night in a freezing thunderstorm).

                    I do kind of know where you're coming from - most of my friends wouldn't even know what a torque wrench was, but there's not enough time to learn to do everything.
