It continually amazes me how some relationships work, particularly with the complicated structure of a lot of families prevalent nowadays.
Imagine a woman trying to run a totalitarian state, within the four walls of her house in Belgium; she's living with a twat, has several children, is in an almost constant haze of confusion [partly brought on by cheap wine], refuses to conform to most of the traditional roles, yet still wants to retain control - a familiar scenario to a lot of peabrains.
The 'twat' in question is a Cumbrian lad whose patience and resilience to Zoe's onslaughts can only be admired by another peabrain like myself. His reactions and ripostes to the torrents of abuse and displeasure formed the basis of a blog, which Zoe then very cleverly turned into a book.
It's funny, it's recognisable but above all it's a love story, where against all the odds a relationship works. The battle of the sexes has been a constant since the dawn of time and continues to be fascinating. A must read for peabrains for their own protection and for goddesses, so they won't feel so alone. If you own, or aspire to a shed, approach with caution.
