Have I got it wrong?
We're moving house at the weekend so I thought I'd treat the Mrs to a housewarming present. I went out and bought a device called a 'dyson vacuum cleaner' which is something to do with cleaning floors apparently. Now when I informed my (mostly female) colleagues of my generosity, not all of them were suitably impressed in fact some thought my choice of gift may even have had a hint of sexism about it. Of course they're just girlies so it doesn't really matter but I'd be grateful if you YDers could help me out here and complete this scientifically valid poll as I'd hate to think that I was in any way un PC...

I bet if you got some power tools or kitchen appliances as a present, you'd be chuffed to little mintballs - I know I would.

It might be more of a wake than a party. wear some black to be on the safe side.

Yes, you got it wrong.









You should have bought a Miele. They are much better than a Dyson.

I think you should tell your female colleagues to stop complaining, go home and cook you some dinner whilst washing your shirts....

(And then you can pick yourself up from off the floor )

Well it's no good telling me now. I only bought the Dyson because they were nearer the door in currys.

Big mistake frosty!
You should have bought a Henry:-

As his cute smiley face is always found amusing by women when his wheels catch on something and he topples over spilling out his insides.
If you're wise? You should sweeten her up with a new iron & ironing board as well.

Or an even sweeter thought is to supply said ironig board with an ironing board cover, personalised with a portrait of your good self?

Then she can get you a dartboard with a pic pinned to it.

Hence the start of WW3...
