Gareth

I am! During my younger days i worked at Next - Womenswear..and part of the job entailed me looking after the womens changing rooms...and let me tell you.....when women are out on a mission to buy and try clothes they dont care who is there!....the amount of times I had to endure them standing semi nakid asking me for my opinion!....it was crazy!....out goes the self conciousness; in comes the "Retail Therapy" animal!

Hey guys, you are losing me. Are we still talking about multi tasking. I am not very good at lateral thinking. Is that what I should be doing?

Actually you have made me realise I can multi task after all - watch footie on tv and drink cans of beer. Phew I feel a whole lot better now.

When I was a student I worked occasionally as a dresser for visiting ballet companies. Dancers would be undressing whenever they were off, so that I could dress them again in time for their next entry. But that was all very fast: they had a man to help :D

Multi tasking, yes.

Women can do it

men can't

but we went on to notice that women manage to compensate for their superiority at multi tasking by lingering for ever in the secret confines of their changing areas in the swimming pool, etc.

:D

Ok Andrew.

I could add to this but as I am using my real name on this forum I will respectfully withdraw from the conversation!

Changing rooms..

Well actually... this is a WIB thing... what you don't actually realise is that the mirrors in changing rooms are in fact doorways to an intergalactic airport.

We whizzz through, sort out a few interspecies crises, save a couple of planets and divert one or two asteroids that appear as if they are flying too close to earth. For good measure, we pop into a few conferences on Altair 4 to gen up on xenobiology and how to learn Talaxian while shopping at Asda.

We return via NASA to collaborate on the last space shuttle and then pop back into the changing room via a wormhole. Now, the contract for the time phase compensator that adjust time as we step back through into the changing room was given to MIB technical devision on cost grounds, a decision I personally think was flawed as it was, in fact, designed by men.

The MIB team had unfortunately left the part of the program that allows men to be chronically late for dinner intact and this is what causes the delay factor. Due to commercial reasons that are confidential, we can't recall the affected models...sigh!

I hope this clears the matter up!

Totally Lynn. Many thanks for that.

I already had a sneaking suspicion that this was the case.

Ahhh!! You are obviously in the know! Then maybe you can help me?

WIB headquarters is trying to isolate the switch point in the male brain that only activates in the prescence of beer and football. We feel in the interests of the human race this should be eliminated, as well... football isn't that important in the wider scheme of things..

Once we have a lead on this we will just do one of those swipe memories thingies and voila... life will get back to some sort of normality.

So any help will be appreciated :)
