I've just received a press release about a survey on attitudes to robots.

(3% ‘Definitely will’ & 14% ‘Probably will’).
• Unsurprisingly, 77% of women stated they cannot imagine being friends with a robot in the near future (30% ‘Probably won’t’ & 47% ‘Definitely won’t’).

What I'm getting from this is that there are a lot of men out there who are bang up for fùcking a robot.

Don't most women have an intimate relationship with something sort of robotic?

Me too. My wife has to set it up and tell me not to touch any of the dials or buttons except the start button.

If I'm really honest, I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to put the washing pod/softener in the little drawer at the top or just bung it in the drum.

I have often had the dryer finish and she's not quite home yet so I just put it on again.

my level of authority with regards to the washing machine stretches to emptying it only.

Good job really. Not sure I know the difference between 'wool' and a 'delicate' item of clothing. :shrug:

I really don't understand how wool can be delicate. It grows on sheep, ffs! They spend most of their time outdoors in the rain.

I once broke the handle on a washing machine because I didn't realise there was a delay and I just went all brute strength and ignorance on it. :hide:
