I’ve recently started suffering from what the opposite sex have been going through, and complained loudly about, since the beginning of time. Flushes!
Hot bloody flushes! Can you believe that? I’m not even old – well, not that old. Well, not so old that anyone would notice.
I have, however, been reliably informed by my wife that it’s all been brought on by my cranky, grumpy, cantankerous personality and outlook on life. Wow, listen to her as she flushes her unsolicited advice and criticism. I’m convinced that it was actually her regular bouts of hot flushes that kicked off global warming. One week it was two hot flushes and the next we had global warming hitting the world headlines. And I will never be convinced that it was mere coincidence. That was, my friends, a simple demonstration of cause and effect in the natural world.
So batten down the hatches because I’ve started too and it’s much worse than any woman has ever been subjected to, which is totally understandable. Men always seem to get the worst possible form of everything, don’t you think?
What next? Will I start to get a craving to go shopping?
