[Margaret Pilkington]

And so you should be Less.(I know you didn't make the comment about steaming and hissing...but it seemed that you agree with it)
Some women might steam and hiss...but there are some(and I consider myself in this category)are helpful, low maintenance, and useful...my other half and I have been hitched for 51 years.
I feel sure that if I had been painful to live with, or be around he would have scarpered long ago.
This is not to say we always see eye to eye...but a little bit of friction makes life interesting.

You might have been unfortunate enough to have had a steamer, a hisses, a nagger...but we don't all fit into that mould.
