B3 - he's finished all the duvets and sheets and pillow cases. Marathon job as included our own laundry plus 2 sets brought home from Possum's apartment and which I only took up there cos she didn't think to do a sheets and towels wash ready for incoming bodies.
I can map read and on long journeys always had a plan B in case of holiday hold-ups or roadworks. OH never had a plan B for such events and tended to assume I knew where I was going. Can't tell you how many scenic routes we've taken when he navigates. Satnavs aren't much cleverer either, it seems.
When I first learned to drive 30 odd years ago - late cos of living in London and not needing a car before then - I did a course in car maintenance to save money. No good now tho as everything is computerised and needs a fancy diagnostics machine and I have never been able to change a wheel cos the flipping nuts are done too tight by those machines. Have to play the helpless female when the Man Who Can turns up. Goes against the grain.

"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
"On the wider issue of poor spelling and grammar, does it matter if the
meaning is understood? Probably not. But what impression are you giving?
It doesn’t matter if you slurp your soup, talk with your mouth full or
pick your nose in public. If you want to create a favourable impression
you don’t do these things."
So, isn't that to say one should not be too fat as it gives an unfavourable impression of being able to eat in moderation? 😈
[NB. I am not arguing this way, I'm pointing out the similarity of logic].

I think, in some parts of society, that is true. People always make judgements of others based on all sorts of prejudices and first impressions. Clothes, hair styles, jewellery, manners. Grammar and manners are basically the same prejudice - one being written and the other largely spoken. OH and I are aware that some people, including the police, make a judgement about us based on the dogs we have. Just as some people will form judgements about others based on the car they drive. How fat you are, how old you are, how tall you are, what colour your skin is, even whether you are a man or a woman (and especially if people aren't sure which). Some of these are 'acceptable' prejudices in our society and some unacceptable but they are all a judgement based on assumptions. They are all very likely to wrong

What overpaid advertising moron thinks that making an ad flash continuously is going to make me click on it? no matter what they're selling, I wouldn't dream of buying because they've totally p++++d me off Btw ,advertisers, if I nudge down a bit your ad disappears. Also, just to irritate, I haven't a clue what you're selling because your b++++y ad keeps flashing.
