Organise absolutely [i]everything[/i], I'm barely capable of stumbling haphazardly into my next catastrophe..
I'm like an absent minded professor with practically no discernible professorial qualities, while she is like a super computer

Put up with me.

( which sounds like a standard attempt-at-humour reply, but is far, far more heartfelt and serious and just plain bloody grateful than that.)

Go to work everyday in a corporate environment, work loads of OT and be bloody good at her job. Polar opposite to me but she amazes me with her work ethic.

I'm in the same boat as Yunki on this. Without Zoe my life (and work - we teach in the same school) would be a chaotic mess. I'm pretty good at thinking and doing, but can't plan or organise for shit.

If so, then yes.

Support Bolton. There was a lot of swearing yesterday when they turned a 1 - 0 lead into a 3- 1 defeat in the space of 4 minutes, to leave them rooted to the bottom of the table. It's masochism! She will resume her usual ABU status this afternoon though, so Rooney and VP need to be on top of their game.

I'm with Yunki 100% on this one though. Without her organisational skills, and the ability to not ignore , or forget about, important stuff, my life would be chaos. I'd probably be unemployed and living under a railway bridge!

Things he can do that I couldn't:
-cycle his commute on aberdeenshire backroads in the path of oil barons trying to get to work in a hurry 🙁
-spend days, months, years fixing yet another landrover
-an 'ultramarathon'

Things I can do that he couldn't:
-put my feet round the back of my head...

Work a computer competently.
Talk for more than ten minutes on the phone.
Go for a night out and not come home slightly rat arsed.
Ride home after a night out without crashing.
Menstruate..... Although I did have haemorrhoids once which was perhaps a little similar....

Eat and apparently enjoy tripe, kidneys, heart, brains, and other bits.

And teach disabled kids, but I reckon the eating thing is more impressive.

Based on her performance this morning the obvious answer is that she can run a 10k in 46 minutes. With basically no running specific training (she is fit just not running fit). She did this with the attitude of "well, it's not that far and I'm prepared to be in pain for an hour if it means I get a good time".

Also, do any hobby without feeling the need to buy all the gear associated with it,

Mine can keep her entire family in order, make all the meals, generally run the household, and completely re-do (tear out old carpet, paint walls, and lay new floor) three bedrooms, all while 7 months pregnant.

Stitch kids up (she is an A & E doctor), I have always wanted to try but for some reason people won't let me have a go.

Oh and the whole work ethic thing, very dedicated, works hideous hours. Never got it myself.
