Of course the one true glaring item on the curriculum that was missing is of course the lengthy, confusing and much debated subject of....Women!
As a wide eyed tiny scouser back in the day - how I would of loved just one sit down lecture from a wise old learned sage on the much maligned and often misunderstood creature that is..Woman. For instance;There many emotional 'changes' , their meticulous thought process for everything irrational and sometimes rational. This fabled 'female intuition' a sort of sixth and in some cases seventh sense they all appear to possess.
The language barrier that has eluded men from the dawn of time. The answers to so many questions ;
!) Does this make my arse look fat?
2) Is she prettier than me?
3) Was that better than your last girlfriend ?
If only we'd been taught how to respond to such easy questions, imagine for one moment how so many times in your life would of been that little bit much easier and with less bruising and dare I say it...quieter.
Women; you can't live with them and you can't live with out them. I just wish sometimes I'd had a manual on them and read it from cover to cover.
*Sigh*
