I wasn't at the gig but live close enough that I might as well have been. Kept having to turn the telly up to drown out the sanctimonious one. Sounds like it was just a greatest hits show from what I could hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Anyone else useless at wrapping presents up? Daughters birthday tomorrow and I said I'd wrap her presents up whilst my missus was at the gym. What a ******* disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I can wrap them, but it looks like a blind child with no thumbs has done it. I've even watched youtube tutorials about it and I still can't do it properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I somehow used all the cello tape up. There is definitely a knack to it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2017 Well you need to start using the right tape for a start. Unless you were wrapping a large string instrument? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, the difference in wrapping ability between males and females seems to manifest itself quite early. I suspect if you could do tests in the womb you'd find it appears shortly after the genitals begin to differentiate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted July 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2017 It's not a Y chromosome thing, unless I'm pre-op. I'm very adept at wrapping prezzies of all shapes. It plays in to my particularness, and now it's 2nd nature. There was a time though, back in school, when I was rubbish at covering my books. Could never quite factor the closed v open size difference into the paper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He insisted the key to wrapping was the size of the sheet of wrapping paper. If it was too big then it's a nightmare. I'm too lazy so I can never be arsed to cut it precisely.

Midfielder Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) I've been on VT for a year now and very apt for thread always wondered what BOF stands for, if it stands for anything at all. What say you @BOF ? Some great user names on here. Childishlythough, even though I know nothing about the guy nor probably ever spoken to him on VT, I love Milfner's name. I think he should have picked James Milfner as his user name if I'm being picky though because that's an even greater name. Unless @Milfner is actually his real surname in which case total kudos. But clearly otherwise this lads all about the milfs and deserves a tip of the hat for his humorous portmanteau.
