Not to worry girls the national mint are bringing out a 50p coin which explains the off side rule in football on the reverse side, which will be very helpful, and save us blokes a job keep explaining it

I already understand it John....don't need the fifty pence piece to tell me what it is about.

Hell Margaret your any blokes dream a woman who knows the off side rule

I don't think I am any blokes dream just because I understand the offside rule.
I hate football...truly hate it it, but yet if someone tells me something about who scored or what the score was in a certain match I can relay the info to the other half.

My daughter (when she lived at home) used to call me a sponge(sucking up information/ knowledge without much effort) and used to make a slurping noise...which irritated me no end.

I might know the rule, but I can't say I could apply it to the game...or recognise it when it happens....so not really a blokes dream...especially these days as everything is falling into my drawers

The "offside rule" explained for women:

You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

The female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire. Both of you have forgotten your purses.

It would be rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

She prepares to throw her purse to you.

If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!

At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and "whilst it is in flight" you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has "actually been thrown", it would be plain wrong for you to be in front of the other shopper and you would be OFFSIDE!

This is how the offside rule was explained to me.......now, when you put it in terms like that, what woman would not understand it? Come on boys....shopping for shoes!

You mean all those jobs you start doing and never complete properly, then start faffing about at the last minute, trying to clear up the mess. There is no such thing as multi tasking, not even computers multitask, they just do each thing so fast it looks that way.
