There is much speculation that Alex is gay. I can tell you that this is not true. He is actually a she. Yes Alex is a woman. A very hairy one, but a woman none the less.

Consider the evidence:

1. He is obsessed with cleanliness
2. He is obsessed with tidiness

and the clincher....

3. He objects to the toilet seat being left up.

Sorry to shatter your illusions, Oldgit, but not all women are obsessed with cleaning and tidying!

if it comes to a choice between dragging out the Dyson or spending the day out in the garden sunbathing, then sorry .... the garden wins every time!

And you better believe it - I'm 100% she!

Fair point, Kaz. As the tone of your reply suggests, I was only having a laugh.

In fact I'll let you all into a little secret. Someone was supposed to reply by saying what a male chauvinist I was, to which I would say that I am not at all, if I was I would have included his nagging!

But no-one took the bait to seriously...

He is really getting on my nerves though!
