How Few Items Do You Own?

[david63]

I bet you cannot beat this guy who is so organised that he only owns 406 items - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-englan ... k-60377814

I have more than that on my desk!

[Mervyn and Trish]

I've got that many rusty nails in my garage!

If that’s what the sad git wants to do then good luck to him. The rest of us normal people will carry on living normal lives.

My dearest keeps on to me to get rid of my hoarding of junk in the garage, (her words) but the countless times they have helped me out, have saved me time and expense.

[Stephen]

We all do it Ray…..‘I’ll keep that just in case’

[david63]

The problem is that the male and female definitions of "junk" are not the same!!

The most important question is whether or not he counts a pair of underpants as one item or two.

If you ask Stephen, it’s two because he turns his inside out on the second week

[Ray B]

Why is it a pair of underpants when there is only one yet you get two socks when you buy a pair. While we are on this subject why is it 'all those cows' but not 'all those sheep's' .

…and the third and fourth, and the eventually beat them against the wall and start over.

I tend to buy 12 pairs of white sports socks at a time, I then separate them and pop them into the washing basket for a freshener cycle. What I do not understand is why Mobietta is unwilling to put them back into their original pairs after washing them .... any ideas ?

Yes! Give her a bloody good talking to and see how she reacts…just make sure you have some paracetamol on standby

At least you get the pairs back, mine come back with one sock missing, never to be paired again with the lonely sock on the single sock pile.

Have you tried sowing a piece of elastic between each pair.

Did you mean,
Have you tried telling Mobietta to sow a piece of elastic between each pair.

[Stephen]

My mistake. What was I thinking.

I couldn't do that cos I doubt she has striped elastic that matches the socks and one's trousers

You clearly don’t know how painful two black eyes and a broken nose can feel
