THAT'S enough of that. There's only so much of the elections I can take and thankfully it's all over today and there will be no mention of how one party is better than the next and why postal voting is a farce.

There will be no more of those fellows visiting me in the evening and telling me why my vote counts and how we can all change the world for the better.

There will be no more election broadcasts with party officials talking to us with the beautiful English countryside as a backdrop.

And finally, there will be no more conspiracy theories doing the rounds.

So to more pressing matters. A survey out recently said that most women are fed up with life.

This is something I find hard to believe. I ain't a great supporter of most surveys because they usually tell us the obvious, But in this case it's news to me.

Let me run you through a couple of facts and figures.

Eight out of 10 women (81%) said they are so fed up they wish they could change their lives, 67% feel like they are on a treadmill and are worn out and 62% say their greatest obstacle to happiness is balancing their life and work.

I was under the impression that most women were happy with their lives and the above facts and figures could have been reached if someone did a survey of all the men too.

But that wouldn't help the magazines sell extra copies, would it? There is nothing worse than people saying they are not happy with their lives. Nobody's happy!

Everyone has a problem of one sort or the other but those with the real issues never tend to say anything.

While I admire the fact that women have to put up with more than most men I still have the feeling that most men get a raw deal because they find most women will never (and when I say never I mean never) compromise.*

I got a friend who lives in...let's say Daneshouse.

He says he is dreading the Euro 2004 tournament because it always ends up with him getting into massive argument with his wife.

She wants to watch 'Corrie Orrie' and he the football.

To avoid arguments this year he has decided to buy a new TV.

The point is that the man did indeed compromise and the woman didn't. Enough said!
