According to this list if you took away cars, football, television and crass and stereotypical views of women you are not a real man.

It's almost as if some wanky focus group brain stormed and thought "What kind of things will the knuckle dragging, low class, degenerate scum that frequent our betting shops like? I know cars, football, television and crass, stereotypical views of women".

1. Are you emotionally unstable?

2. Are you a bit mental?

3. Erm, that's it

4. Did you send your life looking for Mr Right so that you could spend the rest of your life together telling him he's wrong.

Edit: I got all 50 but that just makes me a knuckle-dragger apparently. And a real man would know you get better odds with Bet365.

As far as cars go, I should get extra points for stripping down an engine getting it re-bored and putting it back together and it working.

Also managed to change brakes and clutch when I was too tight to get a mechanic to do that kind of shite.

Nothing to do with being a real man (or woman for that matter) but if you drive a car and don't know how to change a flat tyre, then you should have your license taken away from you.

Totally agree. Also a woman I work with tried to top up her a engine oil by pouring it in the dipstick hole and my wife's responsibility for her car ends at the steering wheel. She won't / can't / doesn't want to even be shown how to top up her screen wash.

Oh you've got a list of entirely arbitrary criteria, okay, let's have a look.

1. His wedding anniversary date - don't have one

2. Basic DIY - I got a 2 in Standard Grade Craft & Design

3. How to change a light bulb - yes

4. How to tie up a tie - yes

5. How to read a map - yes

6. His partner's favourite drink - I don't have a partner

7. How to iron a shirt - yes

8. How to change a tyre - I don't drive

9. How to wet shave correctly - I shave and the hair goes away, I'll assume yes

10. The right amount of aftershave to use - I don't wear aftershave, so "none," so yes

11. How to change a fuse - yes

12. When a woman says "I'm fine" she is not fine - I am capable of conversation with other humans, yes

13. How to put up a shelf - no

14. How to polish his shoes - yes

15. How to give a confident handshake - I have never been complimented on my handshake, so I've no idea

16. How many inches are in a foot - twelve

17. When to accept defeat and apologise - I am capable of conversation with other humans, yes

18. Know the offside rule - yes

19. The year England won the World Cup - erm

20. How to do his own laundry - yes

21. How to fix a bike puncture - I can't ride a bike

22. How to jumpstart a car - I don't drive

23. How to parallel park - I don't drive

24. The difference between ale and lager - it all tastes like shite

25. The best way to carve meat - the meat I eat is pre-carved

26. His own height - yes

27. How to drive in snow - I don't drive

28. What wires represent earth, live and neutral - it says so on the plug label, so yes

29. How to introduce himself - I am capable of conversation with other humans, yes

30. His parents' address - yes

31. What the football scores were at the weekend - I suppose so

32. How to light a BBQ - I've seen Homer Simpson do it, so yes

33. When a woman says "Do what you want" do not do what you want - this isn't a skill

34. How to change oil - I DON'T FUCKING DRIVE

35. What the biggest recent football transfers are - I suppose so

36. How to build a fire - get stuff that burns, get a match

37. Which way is North - up

38. How to use the contents of the toolbox - yes

39. How to tune in a telly - you don't tune in tellys anymore

40. How many miles are left after the petrol light appears - I don't drive

41. How to fix a toilet - no

42. How to put someone in a recovery position - yes

43. His personal alcohol limits - yes

44. Change a battery on a car - f**k off

45. How to get a car unstuck - push it, I'd imagine

46. The words to the national anthem - I know the words to my regional anthem, if that counts

47. How to change a nappy - no

48. How to perform CPR - I've seen the Vinnie Jones advert, I'll go yes

49. How to put up a tent - yes

50. Who are favourites to win the Premier League - yes

So, assuming that questions that don't apply to me are no anyway because I am not enough of a man to drive or maintain a (-n apparently kowtowed) relationship with a woman, I have... 34/50.

Then again, I suppose what marks me as more of a reasonable human being is to groan and roll my eyes at pish like this not living my life as if I'm some hideous and warped caricature of a functional human capable of thinking and talking to people.

But... Can you drive?

Years ago when we were a two car family I drove my wife's car as we went shopping.

This was at night and as we drove up the road she asks 'what does that button do?' pointing to the centre console.

I almost drove off the road as I was laughing so hard, she was pointing to the fuel flap release button, she'd had the car for over two years.

Did you kick her in the pie?
