An article in the paper today outlined new research that has found that at the age of 50, women’s memory outperforms their male counterparts.
A study involving 9,600 middle aged men and women, done by the Institute of Education at the University of London found that the men scored significantly more poorly in the verbal memory tests; particularly in the delayed memory test.
Well. I suspect that they have failed to take several other issues into consideration; THAT THEY PROBABLY WEREN’T LISTENING IN THE FIRST PLACE AND CERTAINLY WEREN’T INTERESTED ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THE DETAIL.
I’m just saying….

March 12, 2010The truth is that women spend so much time exercising their memories reminding us males about all the things we have done wrong in our lives. Males on the other hand, find it pays in the long term just to quietly forget………

Bugger, without all those fruitless trips up and down stairs without ever working out what it is I supposed to be doing/looking for I’ll have to go on a diet.
