Give up and wear t-shirts instead. Or buy a few new cheapo shirts every week.

ClientCo does not allow t-shirts.

Men are anatomically more suited to ironing:

• They haven't got boobs that get in the way (for the most part) !
• They have longer arms
• They have a stronger grip

not true actually, from an anatomical point of view.
It's a well known historical fact, that Boudicca, king of the Britons, had a large left boob, and a more pert right one. This was to facilitate her spear throwing and other anti-Roman activities.
She also had lond slender but strong arms, and a always kept a tight grip on the chariot reins.
Her husband, Arch-Druid 'Crumpled-Robes' Caravtacus, was a bit of a wimp compared to Boudicca

What's an iron?

I think it's something to do with golf.

Now I am living on my own, my wife taught me about something called a "washing machine" - is that the right term? It cleans my clothes - god knows why she always made such a fuss about it.

Anyway, my shirts seemed to be crumpled when I put them on. Mrs BP is away at the moment so I can't ask her. Could one of you let me into the trade secret of the way that women uncrumple clothes? Or will I have to become gay if you tell me?

Thanks.

There is a machine next to the washing thing called the tumble thing. On it there is a button called "anti-crease" apparently if I press that then the clothes don't come out crumpled as you say.

You are a bunch of sexist pigs. You should stop it now.

Bitches hate that kind of behaviour !

OH and me have just invested in a new washing machine (piece of advice - try and get the drum out of your old machine before you dispose of it; they make great patio heaters).

So, off to Curries we went thinking we knew what we were going to get having taken the trouble to do a bit of online research. Of course, what we came back with was as radical a departure from our original choice as one can get!

So, instead of a washer drier we came back with a Samsung summat or other that is Internet enabled. It also does a 15 minute economy wash to the same standard as a regular 40 minute wash.

What swung it? Well, for once there was actually a very clued up salesman on hand. We quickly ditched the idea of a washer drier because they tend to have smaller drum sizes and, as he grudgingly admitted , they don't do as good a job as a separate washer and drier (I see you can pick up a tumble drier for £100 or so). So that left us with efficiency and this was the one that delivered best in this area. One thing I did learn though (and I've been using washing machines for nigh on 20 years) is that you should never put a large load on a quick wash cycle. It's far more energy efficient to put it on the full cycle. Economy washes are only for small loads apparently.

So, OH is double happy as we will use less electric and he has another gadget to play around with. Once he's got the app on his tablet I reckon he'll be insisting on being in charge of doing the washing. Now, there's a thing...

Get yourself a condenser drier, £300 but as you only use it when the weather is naff outside most times its another heat source so nothing is wasted. You can plumb the waste water in on some models so no tray to empty!
