    Yup true.

    Yesterday it took the husband and his brother about 4 hours of arsing about to half assemble a wardrobe.

    This morning I sat down next to them with the manual and told the husband what to do.

    Both wardrobe and cotbed were assembled in half an hour.

    Ikea manuals are made for women. Fact.

    That's because women will sit and read them. They will take out all the parts and identify them, laying them all out, and then then will read from start to finish before beginning. Men just grab the first part out of the box and start bashing it with the second bit out.

    Men are silly. They should be grateful we let them share our planet

    Nah, you've got that wrong, men always read the instructions.

    It's just that they expect the important bits to be at the back, like newspapers.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    Too true. The world would be filled with half assembled desks if we weren't around
