Are those of us with only an idle interest in the subject not allowed in here? ;)

No  :D
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Watched most of the France vs Scotland game. One of the French subs is 6'4" tall and weighs in at nearly 24 1/2 stone! I think man mountain doesn't really do him justice.

Its just you said you don't follow sport with much interest.  Same way as when my wife goes clothes shopping I don't hang about the shoe department.  Not when there is a lingerie department, anyway.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

If I am ordered to go clothes shopping with Ma Subs or when the daughter comes to stay, I always take my kindle and find somewhere out of the way near the entrance to read while they shop. Works for me...especially since the changing rooms in our local Primani are next to the ladies under-bits department and I don't want to be called a perv while I am waiting!

Anyway, back on thread. I can't say I am a rugby man, I much prefer football or Aussie Rules which I still maintain is a cross between football, rugby, high jump and a number of martial art styles! Years ago my mate -who is a big rugby fan- reckoned I would make a good bloke-who-puts-the ball-into-the-scrum. At 5' 7" and -at the time- 10 stone soaking wet, I disagreed with him and still do.

The only reason to watch the American version of football is to work out who has the ball, apart from that, it's far to stop-start for me. No flowing play or nuffin.

When my wife went shopping for shoes I went too. It pays to know what's new and needs favorably commented on and it provides the opportunity to damn with faint praise the things that would leave you bankrupt if purchased :)

Similarly with sport - I now know that when sporting friends turn up on Saturday or Sunday afternoons over the next few weeks I need to complain about the problems with my TV feed and how irritating it is that I can't get BBC1 at the moment  :d

I only went shoe shopping with my daughter once. We got off the bus in the centre of Brum and there was a shoe shop opposite. There was a pair in there that she liked but said we could come back as it was near the bus stop. In my naiveté I agreed. TWO AND A HLAF HOURS LATER

TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER and after going in every single shop in the city centre and trying on every pair of shoes in each shop  twice, we were back at the first shoe shop where she paid for the first pair she had tried on.

NEVER AGAIN.

Later she said that she would never go shoe shopping with her friend because she is a nightmare!!!!!

Had the same with my younger son. In his case it was down to having size 13 feet and therefore limited choices. We eventually got a pair of the first shoes he'd looked at but in the interval we'd had a great afternoon daundering around, chatting, getting coffee and in my case getting some much needed exercise! I had a good afternoon but then I enjoy shopping.

Ditto with my Sister - when I was about 12 - after 2 hrs disappeared to Central Station, and got a bus home from Woodside.

That's just plain unnatural in a bloke, Ithoriel.  :o

Never understood the fuss people make about shopping with SO or one's children. Time spent with someone you (supposedly) want to spend time with, a wonderful chance to people watch, an excuse to strike up conversations with random strangers, a chance to go "while we're passing I thought I'd just pick up ...." (hard for them to say no when they're still looking and already have fifty quids worth of stuff in bags), so many advantages :)
