Re: The Fine Art Of NAGGING!
Ted (I was going to start 'Dear Ted', but changed me mind).
Allow me to eplain.
'Nagging' as you gentlemen tend to refer to it, is an important female skill handed down through generations.
Centuries ago, we realised it was a necessity for any female who chose to share an abode with a member of the opposite sex.
We have an inborn perception of how things ought to be you see, but unfortuately the male of the species is not blessed with such a gift, so are unable to understand things in the same way.
All females know that males are quite incapable of listening to our 'suggestions' without getting huffy, and are also extremely forgetful and unable to concentrate.
We know - nay, expect - that when asked to do something, you will then frequently go missing.
We also know that at such times, you are often to be found pretending to be asleep in your armchair, or sometimes at such places as pubs, football matches, or often taking the dog out for the 10th time that day. You have even been found in the garden shed on occassions, imitating being very busy.
We are such forgiving souls, we sweetly ask you to do the job again - to no avail.
We then ask again . . . and again . . . and again . . . but by now we are getting more insistent, yet still keeping our manners and dignity.
After an average of 1 - 2 years of asking (and all this while being wrongly accused of 'nagging) . . . .
. . . . . We throttle you.
