        OK. Here is goes: Ironing. I'm against it: -99) It takes time -98) It takes effort -97) It takes energy* -96) Resources are wasted as it needs special equipment* What do you gain? Flat clothes. My suggestion: stop ironing or reduce to doing it only where it prolongs clothes life (e.g. collars) etc. * These effects the environment and/or cost money, you decide which is worse according to your political inclinations.

        I like ironing. I find the order a few strokes of the iron imposes on otherwise chaotic and ugly cloth quite therapeutic.

          I've taken the extra step of actively preventing mine, at least when we're on the same continent.

              You got the wrong wife. I've trained mine to enjoy ironing so I don't have to. And, yes, I'm for it - she reads this. :)

                    I'm in. Ironing is a complete waste of one's time.

                                  Mate of mine loves ironing. He works away during the week, and if there isn't a big pile of ironing for him Saturday morning he can't relax for the weekend. He watches sport or listens to the radio as he plows through the week's ironing and the week's stressed go with it.

                                      I agree completely. A few strokes is quite therapeutic. Definitely takes the wrinkles out. ;P Marc

                                      At your age, you can afford to have a few wrinkles ironed out. ;P

                                        You got the wrong wife. I've trained mine to enjoy ironing so I don't have to. And, yes, I'm for it - she reads this. :)
