As far as memorable quotes go, Al Bundy's "Women - you can't live with 'em ... The End", is about as memorable and succinct as you can get. It's up there with "don't mention the war" and "I was in the pool!" But Bundy's takes the cake in my humble opinion.
I share an office with a female colleague, new Farming Show online editor Hanoi Jane, and such is the bickering that emanates from our little work space she's been dubbed my "work wife". So I now have two wives; a real wife and a work wife.
You may think my mini-harem sounds like fun, but let me tell you it's anything but. All it means is I have more to do, more to worry about and more to listen to. My poor eardrums take a hammering from dawn til dusk.
A good case in point was on Monday when she failed to make my lunch, as is the custom when Jamie Mackay is away, which he was. My befuddlement was met with a curt remark about posting a sexist video on the Farming Show's Facebook page. Yes, the video I posted may have starred scantily clad hotties lathered in oil, but they were being very helpful in trying to explain the plentiful and challenging rules of rugby ahead of the test on Saturday night. Sometimes women just need to let men get on with things.
Just ask Stan Wawrinka, the Swiss winner of the French Open back in June. He recently split with his wife, which was unceremoniously announced on the official Roland Garros website by an over-zealous scribe. Stan quite rightly wasn't happy with this, but was still able to do what many thought impossible; beat a rampant Novak Djokovic on his quest to secure the one major title that (still) eludes him.
