What is mans greatest fear . . . . . . . . The Big Question



There are many differences between men and women both physically and physiologically as you might expect, I mean if we were identical it would only cause a lot of confusion although it would make religion a bit easier.  There is however one thing that is the Achilles heel of every single man in the world irrespective of whether he is a rock climber,  musician, nuclear scientist, mechanic or a Patagonian goat herder. It is something that men fear more than any other thing, and yet women don’t understand why and will often look indignant and shake their heads as a chap desperately tries to find any reason he can not to undertake this particular task. It is said that men have gone to war and fought to the death rather than face this; on the face of it simple task, that they are often asked to do by women in particular.  Enticing their chaps with erotic clothing or bacon butty’s or whispering rude things in their ears. But chaps will seldom do this terrible thing even when enticed with a half naked woman holding a hot bacon butty with fried onions and brown sauce made with a lightly toasted freshly made bap with loads of butter.


So it was with some trepidation that I started the day knowing that one of the tasks of the day was this mans greatest fear, although luckily I had enough other things to do to avoid starting. In the end though I had to face mans nemesis and with the appropriate implements to hand I set too. But then I had to stop as it was time for our evening meal and I am now too weary to start again, and tomorrow I am busy and on Wednesday, in fact it will probably be the weekend now before I have to face this terrible thing again and carry on with the terrible task of putting up shelves.

  1. I think my grey test fear is reaLLy two fears. I neVer know when to use grey or when to use gray, and the other is knowing when grey begins and ends, like at black and at lack of black, white.

    1. What joy it would be to meet someone who is a rock climber, musician, nuclear scientist, mechanic and a Patagonian sheep herder. I think Yvon Chouinard, the head of the company Patagonia, is interestingly close.

    2. I saw a news article about the Queen inspecting the Magna Charta. I heard they didn't let her get to close after she suddenly whipped out an eraser and tried to change the document.

    3. That Queen is a bit of a one and would certainly erase that Magna Carta (like in the film Get Carter) given half a chance. Then she would blame it on a Patagonian sheep herder with interests in a rock climbing, music, nuclear science and mechanics who may have been wearing several shades of grey.

    4. You should write a book called "A Week in The Whales of The Future" about a Welsh fisherman who falls overboard, is swallowed by a whale then takes a week to be digested. It could be published by Reader Digest. It would be a rather dark story, as there are few windows or lightbulbs in a whale.

  2. I can't hang a shelf to save my life. Well, okay, I can hang it, but it won't be straight, even with a level. My family has come to terms that all of our pictures are hung crooked.

    1. It is traditional that stuff rolls in one direction and off the end of the shelf. I have always blamed it on a round Earth

  3. I thought man's greatest fear was 'Loose Women' on ITV 1.
    I did try the whole wearing erotic clothing, offering bacon butties and whispering rude things in their ears, but the man from B&Q made a run for it and then reported me for sexual harassment. Probably would have helped if I had actually bought any shelves.
