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

    Your are just increasing entropy, hastening the heat-death of the universe. Really worthwhile for a flat bit'o'cotton?

      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. :)

            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.

                          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.

                                    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'm flat out against it, but you'll find stiff opposition from those who find wrinkles in your argument. Hopefully you will be able to iron out your differences. :thumbsup:

                                        What makes you think that that is true either generally or specifically?

                                          I can't vote this up because you used the word :doh: (No, not "bird" but "iron")

                                          If it moves, compile it
