Torque rench? Pffft..... Angle tightening is where it's at (yeah I did one the other evening, 22 bolts on a 2.8 turbo, impact socket on breaker nar, stopped movement by using a buckrake tooth, Zepplin blaring in the background...... Manly!)

I am defeated. That is so bloody awesome there are hardly words!

Power washed the whole back yard and washed the car while I was at it.
Made a curry from scratch.

You should construct an overly complicated rig to hold said umbrella over your little girl.

While your protection of your spawn is commended as manly, the lack of construction or demolition is alarming.

I refused to go to a wedding because I hate weddings and that shit is for women.

I cut down 3 Leylandii trees in my back garden, starting at 7 this morning. They were between 25 and 30 foot high. The first one nearly fell on top of me. However, I didn't use one of those girlie chainsaws. I just used a bow saw and my herculean strength...

I'm in the process of digging up a washing line pole that I concreted into the lawn last year (where the missus asked my to locate it) as it turn out my manly instincts 12months ago were right and a washing line under a line of trees will get no sunshine and have loads of moss and bird poo on it ...

obviously as a man, the dirt on stuff coming off the line doesnt bother me but herself wont hang anything on the in now so its soft towels all round ... one just can not be using soft towels, they need to air dry into something resembling 80 grit sand paper (For the lads on here boasting about their hair straighteners sandpaper is what real men use to clean surfaces before painting, ...)

I hear ya, I hate soft towels. we don't have an outside line, but I distinctly remember my dad doing a wash when my mum wa away and leaving shirts spread over a couple of bushes to dry:) I asked him if they weren't full of twigs and leaves and sh1t (no bird droppings, luckily) and he just said "Tis grand sure, I'm a man, that stuff doesn't bother me":)

Went out last night for a quiet social night with beer, jager, whiskeys (12 year aged I'll have you know) vodka, gin and rum.

Woke up at noon and ate a bacon and sausage sandwich

Today's achievement is easy. Making my 1000th post on here :eek:

I cupped one of my man boobs

I wheelbarrowed a metric ton (or as I said when I saw it " a metric fúckton") of topsoil the length of the garden and up a slope to my new vegetable plot.
Took a break in the middle, which probably takes away some points, but my beverage of choice was two bottles of ice cold beer! :pac:

On Sunday I fitted two new shelves in the shed. And then, I carefully arranged all my various containers of engine oils, coolants, brake/clutch fluids, ATF, etc. carefully upon them in "grabbable" order, i.e. according to most-often used. I then pondered this deeply for a while, decided I had gotten the order subtly wrong, then did it again. Then, happy, I went to the pub.

. Putting on a pink shirt and getting away with it is manly.

Wearing a pink shirt isn't manly - not even being aware of the colour of your shirt is manly. And you're not getting away with it - no man looks good in a pink shirt. Every time I see a man in a pink shirt I think : "Why? Did he pick that off a rack, hold it up and think to himself : 'This. This will look good on me.'?", when 99% of the time it's some old guy desperately trying to look fashionable.

Also -100 man points for aknowledging pink as a colour. The Germans don't even have a word for 'pink'. It's light red.

Burst into the server room this morning and did a traditional Maori war-dance, while reciting:

This is our land that rumbles
It's our time! It's our moment!

The I.T. guys started giving me funny looks. I felt a bit of a fool - turns out they said they needed a "hacker" to get the old mainframe restarted...
