I can burn toast and cpu cores with ease. Why? Are you thinking of moving in with somebody from here? Anyone we know? Como'n give!

In my student days, I used to make beans on toast, the only problem was that I kept having to buy new toasters:) But seriously, When I was a student, the girls couldn't believe that an Indian guy, away from his mother, could be self sufficient. I got tired of explaining over and over, so I would drop the beans on toast line when asked how I survived without mum.

Heck yes, I can cook, and I do so for two main reasons: 1. It is a heck of a lot cheaper and can be more nutritious than eating out or geting prepared foods. 2. As an extension of the article you posted.. there are an increasing number of career women and femenists out there these days. I bet they could appreciate a guy who can do the cooking. ;P The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Then my girlfriend got mad and took over. She did the other 3 in about 5 minutes. I think i'm just incompentant. But i did do that thing where you kind of offset the button so it sticks up some so it'll go through the coat. It was a high quality job. Sorry to dissapoint you all with my lack of a witty or poignant signature.

Actually, I am fairly good at cooking, especially to a recipe, though like Paul I prefer the "hmm... maybe if I added a bit of this and a bit of that" approach. I also have all kinds of wierd and wonderful domestic skills, including (but not limited to): - ironing, I learnt that when I was in the scouts, as I had to iron my scarf each week. - operating the washing machine, so long as thier is someone on hand to tell me the temperature I should be using. - sewing, I learnt that from my Grandma a long time ago. We used to make cushions together. - knitting, I learnt this form my mum, and can even do a few of the more basic patterned techniques. I was so surprised when in high school I was the only person to put up my hand to say I could knit! (followed shortly by a withdrawl and the comment "oh, Knit? I through you said drink". *phew*) ________________ David Wulff http://www.davidwulff.co.uk "I loathe people who keep dogs.

It was a high quality job. If I'm not in a hurry, I take mine to be dry-cleaned. They replace missing buttons and restitch the pockets, etc. Worth the money [and they clean it too :)]. BTW, I can sew, I just have better things to do with my time! Regards, Ray
