Womens Secret Business

Honestly some days I wonder, is there a secret school or re girls from a young age taken from class into a special female only class and taught how to nag?

I have been with my fair share of women and every single on of them knows how to nag and they all nag in exactly the same way. Not matter how many times you answer the original question, no matter what you are in the middle of they all seem to manage to nag you to breaking point until you either do what they want or snap back at them, in which case they get the shits, cry and you end up doing what they wanted anyway because you feel bad now.

It seems that all women are taught the ‘nag’ voice, the one that has that slightly nasal and pissed off tone to it “Honey can yooooooou do this!” yes I can, when I am good and ready woman, so shut up because that is the 4th time you have asked me and the answer hasn’t changed!.

Worst of all I think they are taught the most opportune moments to nag, for instance, when you have your arms full of all the latest crap she just bought whilst you also struggle with the keys to open the front, door with them standing there tapping their feet because they are oh so burdoned by their hand bag, the you get the “Hurry up, open the doooooooorrrra!” or a question as to when you are going to take the garbage out or whatever. “Bitch, can I get in the front door put your friggin hundred pashmina nad shoe purchases down and perhaps just relax for 5 minutes”

Or even worst, this morning I was greeted,  after getting up 1 hour before my partner to take te dogs out to go to the toilet and fix a fuse with the lights continuously shorting out in the bitter cold. I walk in the back door shivering and mention that we will need to get the electrician out to look at the circuits, because the fuses are all fine.

What do I get back?
Not as you would imagine an “ok, I will call him later” or even a “Ok, can you please call him when you get a chance” (The situation isn’t mission critical it is only the outdoor lights that trigger the switch)

but nooooooo, what do I get “Well you better call him now, or we may have to wait a week until he comes”

my reply, “I will call him soon” (it was 7am)

“Call him now”

So me being a male I did the only 2 things that I could here

1 – I snapped back and told her I would Effing call him later when I got a chance and had perhaps had a coffee and some breakfast

2 – I stormed off to my office pretended to make a call and told her I got his voicemail.

FFS If you want it done so quickly pick up the phone yourself!

Arrrrrghhh Women, can’t live with them, can’t get away with grinding them up and feeding them to pigs!

I couldn’t think of a better title for this but as I sit here at work watching Hawaii Five-O season 1 on my second monitor I can’t help but think about the washed out colours of 70′s fils, sure this has been digitally remastered but watching any outdoor seens all the colours are so washy and it makes me start to think in my head, that that is what the world and it’s colours were like back then. My feeble brain can not help but think that the entire world’s colours seem to have improved with the quality of television and without it we would still either have a washed out world or black and white….weird I know, but with our only eyes into the world of the past being these classics, what else can I think…

My Night is Dark and Empty, when you’re not on TV

Some days I start work and periodically trawl the news sites looking for some interesting snippet that keeps me up with what is going on in the world, and occasionally makes me look more intelligent than I am by being able to discuss current events with high-brow collegues and friends, the one problem being that the news I am oft attracted to is far from high-brow and beyond being able to make basic mention of the ongoing Zimbawe issues, I tend to get back to the murders and crimes that have occurred.

Once again today was no different in that regard, but the peice of low brow news that I came across has got me so jittery with excitement I can barely contain myself and I am doing all I can not to leave a puddle on the ground.

My dear friends, what I found was that that Hawaii Five-0 is being remade into a TV series, it isn’t exactly a remake but will instead follow Steve McGarretts son and his Five-O adventures, at this stage it is unclear as to whether there will be a Danno in the series but I find it hard to believe they would lose that oh so squeel worthy catch cry of “Book ‘em Danno”.

I am sure you all will join me in my excitement. Ever since the announcement this morning I have been digging through the cupboards looking for my old VCR and DVD copies of the original and have had Radio Birdman’s “Aloha Steve and Danno” playing on the radio.

Nothing could ruin this day…..nothing. The blokiest of bloke shows is back, surfing, police work, sun, moustaches (I hope), ahh it had it all.

so for now…..Book ‘em Danno!
