There's bored, and there's ironing "bored".
Whats next, bungy knitting jump-ers??

Is that knitting jumpers from bungee? Well, they'd stretch nicely over your head when you put them on...

oh! I see what you mean! Silly me.

My friend Mark recently went to Dublin, and inadvertently found himself right outside the house of a guy about whom he'd been fantasising since a drunken close encounter at a conference a few weeks before. All a-quiver, he knocked at the door. It was opened by said guy's housemates who informed my pal that the object of his affections was "on holiday with his boyfriend". It was pouring with rain so they invited him in but said they were getting ready to go out in the next half hour or so. Disappointed and at a loose end, he volunteered to iron their shirts while they made coffee, an offer they gratefully accepted. He didn't only iron the gear they were going out in but took solace in tackling a variety of garments including office clothes for the following Monday. I think they invited him along (to the pub, not to work) but he was too gutted to go. And, no, he didn't get to shag any of them. Just too nice for his own good! (Bless x x x) Very Happy

Frances, send this man to my house. He can have my husband, as long as he does the ironing first. And finishes painting the kitchen.

Does your hubcap know about this generous offer, Beak? Eek Eek

Quickly changing the subject... why do hotels have trouser presses? Has anyone ever used one for its intended purpose? (I warmed up a cheese sandwich in one once - not recommended!)

I could get into ironing with a view like that!

But where do they plug the iron in - and who pays the electricity bill?

I thought I'd 'Bump!' this thread, as Extreme Ironing is on Ch4 tonight, 1035!

If you've never heard of it, read the thread first! But I think it's pretty self-explanatory anyhow.
