1. ..say they are “only scratching it” when they are actually picking their nose, hiding behind the Sunday Telegraph.
2. …produce the most horrendous, malodorous whizzpoppers imaginable, worse than that of any woman. Then deny it. Or blame the dog.
3. …… start blaspheming very loudly just because they are watching other men running after a ball.
4. …tug their sweaters over the back of their necks to remove them? (this habit starts to emerge around the age of 11)
5. …continue to buy you Thorntons even though they know by now you are a total pleb, and secretly prefer Galaxy.
6. … get cross when you comment on Johnny Depp’s finely-chiselled profile, yet feel quite at liberty to confess they have lusted after Stevie Nicks for years.
7. …need to be advised to “check themselves in the downstairs department for lumps and bumps” when they “check” themselves approximately every 10 minutes anyway!
8. …think that the fairies clean the loo and do the ironing.*
9. …refuse to ask for directions, even when lost in the centre of Le Mans?! (Even with my excellent navigating skills, we were lost, but my reasonable French and a helpful local got us out of THAT one)
10. …never put the Andrex back in the little basket in the cloakroom, but leave it decorously on the window-sill, for all to see and appreciate.
11. …repeatedly buy you sexy thongs, even though they have never personally tied dental floss or a cheese wire around their backsides in their lives.
12. …ask you to buy 4 different Sunday newspapers, then only read the sports pages in each one.
13. … frequently wear lycra to ride a bike. (not my man)
* I always advise new mothers to always iron in public, with an appreciative audience, never in private, for this very reason.
