Who says ironing isn't for real...Oi Bernard ;)<br /><br />Who says ironing isn't for real men? I bet it wasn't a woman. And thanks for that, grumpy is now strutting around saying 'I told you so' ...<br /><br />Not that he actually does any ironing, as you say we can't really afford the amount of electric he'd use.<br /><br />The only time I saw him iron [at the tin hut, 29th May 2005], it took approximately - standing up and sitting down - 40 mins to complete one short sleeved shirt. I do have 5 photos of this event [that's how I know the date]. Then he put the iron away, totally ignoring my stuff.<br /><br />I'm not sure why he took it upon himself to have a go, but I'd probably been moaning about having to do it and he'd be proving how easy it was ... or not.<br /><br />This ensures that I never seriously expect him to do anything more than get MY ironing board/bored out, and plug MY iron in ... for ME.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288556385811134829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5534679970477261563.post-52113783700004008462012-01-07T19:17:31.861+00:002012-01-07T19:17:31.861+00:00Julie - Hi. :)
'Real' men. don't iron ...Julie - Hi. :)<br />'Real' men. don't iron shirts.<br />No, they don't really.<br />Why should I iron a shirt?<br />1. It takes all that time setting up a thing called an 'ironing bored'! <br />Yes, BORED.<br />2. It costs hard earned pension money for the electricity to heat bloody iron!<br />3. Most men will put more wrinkles int' said shirt than there was there originally.<br />4. And .... who's goin to notice if it's covered up with - wooly pully?<br />This is true....honest.<br />My iron fizzled out years ago.<br />Before that, I would attempt to press creases in my trowsies, covered in't damp Tea-cloth. I always ended up with bloody 'tram lines' at top!<br />No, ironing is not for real men.<br />Ask Grumpy.<br />Lovely blog though. He,he, :)<br />Nice of you to like my 'etchings'.<br />Thanks.<br />Cheers....BernardBernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024557597864373705noreply@blogger.com
