Ladies - are you an honorary bloke?

[MsKABC]

Take my fun quiz to find out. All points are arbitrary, no offence is intended, no correspondence will be entered into. Post your score!

1. Give yourself 10 points if you ride a motorcycle.

2. Have 5 points for each one of these you have done: welding, spraypainting, grinding.

3. Do you mow lawns regularly? Take 3 points.

4. Add 10 points if you can competently back a trailer.

5. Have 3 points for each extra class of driver licence you hold (apart from 1 & 6).

6. Have you ever operated a piece of heavy machinery? E.g. digger, bulldozer, roller, grader etc. 2 points for each.

7. Take 5 points if you can catch, gut & fillet a fish.

8. If you prefer beer over wine, take 7 points.

9. Do you own a hair straightener? Subtract 3 points.

10. Can you change a tyre in under 5 minutes? Add 9 points.

11. If you can change a fuse, have 3 points.

12. Give yourself 5 points if you can operate a motorboat.

13. If you own tools, have 2 points for each one. (Swiss Army knives, Leathermans etc don't count - see next question)

14. If you have ever been given a gift such as a fishing rod or multi-tool, take a point for each one. (Chance to double dip here, if you have been gifted any of these, as above!)

15. Take 4 points if you are a regular Top Gear viewer.

16. Subtract 2.5 points if your toenails are painted.

17. Ever changed spark plugs? Have 6 points.

18. Do you understand the rules of rugby? Take 5.

19. Have 9 points if you've used a firearm more than once in your life. Have 12 points if you have a firearms licence. Have 15 points if you own a gun. (These points are not cumulative!)

20. If your flatulence is legendary amongst friends and family, have 8 points.

Scoring:

0-19 Oh dear - you are a lost cause! Best you stay in the beauty salon for fear of breaking a nail!
20-49 Must try harder - how do you expect to get on in life without a bloke to help you do everything?
50-79 Average Kiwi girl then, huh?
80-99 Women envy you, men love you.
100-119 Men fear you.
>120 Have you checked for a winkle lately?

My score is 71 :laugh:

[Finn]

4 is very unfair.

It's an impossibility.

[MsKABC]

4 is very unfair.

It's an impossibility.

Well I guess it depends on your definition of "competent". Put it this way: I've never had to take a trailer off a vehicle and manouvre it by hand ;)

[MsKABC]

4 is very unfair.

It's an impossibility.


So anyway, what's your score? :devil2:

[Finn]

So anyway, what's your score? :devil2:

Probably about the same as you until I got to the tool section. I have one of those cabinets about chest high filled with implements I don't even know how to use. For example, I've got this torque wrench that just keeps clicking whenever I try to tighten something up.

[MsKABC]

I've got this torque wrench that just keeps clicking whenever I try to tighten something up.

Really? How confounding for you! Who needs torque wrenches anyway? Torque wrenches are for pansies who don't know what they're doing! :bleh:

[Trudes]

Number 13 is a bit tough, should I go and count how many tools I own personally or the ones that I own jointly with the hubby and we both use? Does that include my husband? (sorry hunny) :lol:
So I said 15 points for the tools, halve it should be right eh, so we'll say 106 for me. Men fear me? Ohhhh harsh, just cause I can burp louder than most of them!!:lol:

[nallac]

shit half the guys on here will fail that test....

esp the Honda riders....:laugh:

Edit; just took the test cool i passed, 96 excluding my tools,
can't be arsed trying work out how many tools i got...

[Nasty]

67.5 - just an average kiwi girl .. but it should be higher as grub gifted me a shit load of tools in his will!

[jmk]

I have just had my laugh for the day, :clap: and no Im not going to tell you my score :first:

[SDU]

:pinch: Yay 93! I'm still loveable (will just keep telling myself anyway)

....all those years at the freezing works didn't ruin me:apint:

[Stirts]

Can I regain my three points lost on owning a hair straightner even though I have no idea how to use it? Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

[prettybillie]

I'm not even going to bother.....would prefer not to be a guy of any sort - honorary or whatever. Men need to stop fucking us girls around before any of us should even consider wanting some of their traits :jerry:

Come on girls we all know we can do anything better than they can we don't need to have a who's got the biggest cock competitions or piss in corners around each other to know we are great!!!

[A_Mans_Ruin]

Dam it.... Im average :crybaby:!!!! HELL NO, aint havin that.... am off to steal some heavy machinery and learn to drive it.... WATCH OUT HORNBY!!!!!:beer:

[MsKABC]

Number 13 is a bit tough, should I go and count how many tools I own personally or the ones that I own jointly with the hubby and we both use?

bwahahahah! Well I guess I could have half points for all the tools hubby has bought since we got together - they are marital property now, right? :devil2:


Does that include my husband? (sorry hunny)


Depends - is he very useful? :blip:


Men fear me? Ohhhh harsh, just cause I can burp louder than most of them!!

Like I said, points were completely arbitrary and no offence is intended :hug: I can burp like a dump truck :o


shit half the guys on here will fail that test....

esp the Honda riders....


:nono:


Edit; just took the test cool i passed

Well done, here is your badge... :D


67.5 - just an average kiwi girl .. but it should be higher as grub gifted me a shit load of tools in his will!

If you know how to use them, take the points hun! :yes: Presumably he left them to you for a reason ;)


and no Im not going to tell you my score

See now, you have to take points off if you won't reveal your score!


:pinch: Yay 93! I'm still loveable (will just keep telling myself anyway)

....all those years at the freezing works didn't ruin me:apint:

We are all loveable - just a matter of finding the right bloke! Some men are just too easily intimidated... heh heh

[MsKABC]

Can I regain my three points lost on owning a hair straightner even though I have no idea how to use it? Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease

No, but you can go out and add to your list (see below)

Oh god, I've created a monster! :lol:

[vifferman]

I not infrequently call the vifferbabe "a Top Bloke", but I'll have to stop doing that: she scored only 5.5. Mine was 105, but that didn't include the tools question - I have too many to count, including a bazillion power tools ("AAARRRGGHHHH AARRRRRRRRGH!!") Reassuring to know I really am a bloke. :confused:

[Stirts]

I can competently back a trailer into the jack knife position .... my revised score is now 82!!!!

[Maha]

shit half the guys on here will fail that test....

esp the Honda riders....:laugh:

Edit; just took the test cool i passed, 96 excluding my tools,
can't be arsed trying work out how many tools i got...

As a Honda rider, I will not give out my score.
But um, what the hell is a motorboat?...:(
I threw out my hair straightner......it burns....:baby:

[Burtha]

ok, there is no way I am counting all my tools, and there is no way I have a winky and hair growing in places it shouldn't, so for the sake off modesty and the fact that my toenails ARE painted, I did some serious rounding down and put 90+.
I am a walking contradiction and like to wear jewelry & makeup while I chainsaw!!
:crazy:

[ManDownUnder]

Oh behalf of my wife... (who has no idea she just had the test taken for her)... 54

[nallac]

As a Honda rider, I will not give out my score.
But um, what the hell is a motorboat?...:(
I threw out my hair straightner......it burns....:baby:


why?....
I know why,....

:buggerd:there no negative scoring is there

[vifferman]

I am a walking contradiction and like to wear jewelry & makeup while I chainsaw!!
:crazy:
Awesome! You rawk, Gurrrrl! :headbang:

[slofox]

Got 101. But if I counted EVERY tool I own the total would have been 10837...

[<G>]

10 pts for motorbike
7 pts for preferring beer
4 pts for watching Top Gear although I think I fail on that one because I only watch it because I like the presenters, James May in particular :)

So no, I'm not your average Kiwi Girl but kudos to all of you that can do the "manly" things :niceone:

[nallac]

Got 101. But if I counted EVERY tool I own the total would have been 10837...


you do know you don't count that "tool",and its not 2 points per mm:laugh:

[MSTRS]

Men need to stop fucking us girls .....

What!! And have the species die out???

[SDU]

We are all loveable - just a matter of finding the right bloke! Some men are just too easily intimidated... heh heh


Found the right bloke & he comes with a truck load off tools & better still knows how to use them,: god help me if I use to to stir the paint tin:jerry:
but his power tools are fun:laugh:

[MsKABC]

I'm glad my quiz has re-affirmed your masculinity for you :yes:

That's ok Maha - the quiz was only designed for the ladies anyway. Typical KB - blokes always have to come in and spoil things! :argue: A motorboat is a boat with a motor...as opposed to a boat with a sail! And you're supposed to use your hair straightener on your HEAD, silly! :bleh:


I am a walking contradiction and like to wear jewelry & makeup while I chainsaw!!

Ha ha! Classic. I'm like that too sometimes :D "I'll do this thing you ask of me, but I reserve the right to look bloody good doing it!"


Oh behalf of my wife... (who has no idea she just had the test taken for her)... 54

Your "wife" eh...?:p

[MsKABC]

Got 101. But if I counted EVERY tool I own the total would have been 10837...

That's a lot of tools! Are you sure you're not errrm "compensating" for something there Slofox? :hug:


10 pts for motorbike
7 pts for preferring beer
4 pts for watching Top Gear although I think I fail on that one because I only watch it because I like the presenters, James May in particular :)

So no, I'm not your average Kiwi Girl but kudos to all of you that can do the "manly" things :niceone:

Well you do have a pink flower for your avatar! :laugh: I bet you are above-average in other departments though, right? ;)


Found the right bloke & he comes with a truck load off tools & better still knows how to use them

They are the best sort ;)


god help me if I use to to stir the paint tin:jerry:


Reminds me of the time my uncle used his wife's stick blender to stir paint with. They separated not long after that....


but his power tools are fun:laugh:

Are they now? :blip:

[prettybillie]

Did somebody forget to take their fun pill this morning? :hug::lol:

Oh there's a pill to make me fun....hmmm couldn't start taking that it would ruin my reputation as a bitch :bleh:

[samgab]

Probably about the same as you until I got to the tool section. I have one of those cabinets about chest high filled with implements I don't even know how to use. For example, I've got this torque wrench that just keeps clicking whenever I try to tighten something up.

Aha, are you sure it's not a ratchet? ;)

[my_r32]

99 for me :2thumbsup hehe oooh right on the border of men envying me:lol:

[Burtha]

Awesome! You rawk, Gurrrrl! :headbang:

Shame they don't do a smiley that curtsies.:laugh:

Was a 30 foot gum tree btw. Have to go and change my hubby's spark plug today. Caught him trying to do it in his good light coloured safari shorts etc, covered in oil, with the bike on its side !! I'd best go get out the spanner soon ...

[babyB]

thats so funny:lol:

i got 91 but i aint counted da tools & i aint gonna spend the day trying to

[magpie]

82 for me.... but I'm sure not gonna change a tyre if someone else offers to do it for me!! :2thumbsup

[Maha]

Yeah I know what a motorboat is....:yes:
Only a female would call it that though....:shutup:


''Shall we go out in the motorboat darling''?? :love:
''Honey, its a 30 foot Kauri Launch''...:bash:

[MsKABC]

Of course you are dear, of course you are.:love:


god help me if I use to to stir the paint tin:jerry:

Put down the tools carefully and step away from my tool boxers, thank you.:sweatdrop

Your tools are over there.:bleh:

[Ixion]

Oh behalf of my wife... (who has no idea she just had the test taken for her)... 54

Mrs Ixion scores -2.5.

[MadDuck]

Hmmm 60 excluding the tools. I have just about every power tool available so that will put me way over 100 :cool:

[Lilly2w]

50.5, Not fair to loose points for pretty purple toe nails!! :crybaby:

[Ally67]

I score 70 but if I counted our/his tools it would be higher

[EatOrBeEaten]

62, which makes me an average Kiwi lass :D

Would be higher, but I've not been here long enough to buy any tools....

[kasper]

93 yay.

and in regards to licenses and trailers and heavy machinery.

*points to her class 5 Truck and trailer. * do I get extra points for the trailer being counted as heavy machinery.

--kasper

[Edbear]

As a Honda rider, I will not give out my score.
But um, what the hell is a motorboat?...:(
I threw out my hair straightner......it burns....:baby:

I think it may have something to do with requiring hair... :shifty:

[jafar]

Is it?:gob:

[jafar]

I'm not even going to bother.... Men need to stop fucking us girls :jerry:!!!


Interesting concept :buggerd:

[kasper]

Is it?:gob:


Well the tare weight is 6300kg

OMG your the girl driving the "TUI TRUCK" :beer:
:shit: I just :love: that advert :woohoo:


I think you'll find the trailer is covered in your class 5.
Heavy machinery usually has an engine. :wari:

[kasper]

No i said like the style not the tui truck. god i would never get moving.

But i do cart the empties back to lion breweries each morning.

I drive for rapid road freighters.

But should get some extra points for having multiple swing points on the trailer. :)

[samgab]

...multiple swing points...

I suppose having multiple swing points qualifies one as an ornery male...:laugh:

[jafar]

But should get some extra points for having multiple swing points on the trailer. :)

Now there's a 'tui' :beer:

[rachprice]

Hahahha a whopping 27.5....

Im not really worried...I think alot of those things I could be capable of I have just never tried, don't personally own any tools, and I like being girly!

[kasper]

I set myself up for that one didn't I?!

Is that the outfit that used to be Rapid Delivery? My Dad is good mates with the guy who used to own it.

[firefighter]

You give this same test to half the "men" on queen st, and i'd have to say I doubt whether they own or have done any of the "manly" things listed, AND do-do gay shit like paint nails, and have a hair straightener......:shifty:

[kasper]

Agreed! One of the things that attracted me to my husband was the fact that he could do stuff. He is a typical Kiwi bloke - jack of all trades (master of none). They are a dying breed unfortunately :( I know our son will be out in the garage with Daddy very soon learning everything Mike can teach him.

ETA and I think because my Dad is so very capable that I was always on the lookout for someone similar. :yes:

Yeah there is a definite lack of manly men these days, its rather disappointing!

[Burtha]

Same here.
Mines and accountant - and he is GREAT with his fingers !!! :D
He's plenty manly for me - if ya get my drift, nudge nudge, :msn-wink:, :msn-wink:

But I'm the one that changed his bike sparkplug yesterday. Better change his oil too...:yawn:

[Monamie]

Bloody toe nails let me down:angry2:
I think you should get extra points for owning a chainsaw......and owning a gun is mandatory these days:whistle:

Nah-any woman worth her salt wouldn't envy me...and i have a man that kind of likes me:shifty:

[BiK3RChiK]

Hahahaha.. Just saw this!

Men fear me!!!! LOL

[Pegasus]

I got 64, but I haven't timed myself changing a tyre (and havn't had to do it for a while) so I might be cheating giving myself points on that one. :laugh:

Do I get extra points for working at stockcars? lol

[BuFfY]

I got 2.5!

Probably the lowest score of everyone on here, awesome.

[Her_C4]

But but but... I don't WANT to be an honorary bloke!! Can't we ride bikes, fix 'em and do other 'get down and dirty' stuff and still be ladies? :( :baby:

[Sharry]

I only got 72, but is it realy my fault if nobody has thought to give me chainsaw for xmas:(

[MsKABC]

I only got 72, but is it realy my fault if nobody has thought to give me chainsaw for xmas:(

After going out with a few guys who were lacking in proper bloke stuff, I decided never to date a guy who didn't have an appreciation of loud things, fast things, dangerous things, or stupid things again.

They're a dying breed for sure! :( ;)

[cc rider]

muchly enjoyed.....The tool thingy blew me way out, I have a metalsmithing/engineering workshop with my business partner... I like the feel of cold hard steel.
P.S. my other half brings me tools for presents. He once came home late with an old 6ft rachet spanner. I don't drive a car, I only drink wild turkey but I did spend today with my arm down a stormwater drain clearing it & got some chaffing from my overalls....oh! & almost had a boob pop out (it's a girlie thing)... :drinknsin (I don't get out enough)

[MsKABC]

Yes please :clap: may I have a yellow one please to match my lawn mower. Failing that could it be red to match my cordless drill :)

For some reason that reminds me of the time my Dad fixed my Aunty's lawnmower for her. Mum decided to have some fun with it so they sent it back to her painted a bright colour with polkadots on! My Aunt then decided it would be a good idea to mow her lawn wearing a clown suit! :lol:

So you've met my husband then? :lol: He put two cars on their roof in ditches in his younger (stupider) days, so he more than qualifies :rolleyes:

Holy toolbox Batman - that's one helluva spanner! :gob:

[Jaxi]

OK, so as much as I got over "being an honorary bloke" when I was a pimply swanny / redband wearing "youth" a wee while ago .....

I got 66 points... legit though as hubby was adjudicating the point scoring process.

Didn't count any tools.... Love the torque wrench comments earlier in the thread though!!!

[007XX]

Got 82...:shifty:

I'm not sure whether I should rejoice or be worried, but eh, hubby ain't complaining :D

I have an EnviroMower which started out red & has now faded - I offered to lend it to a male friend (from Canterbury way) when he tentatively asked 'has it always been pink?' :slap:

Holy toolbox Batman - that's one helluva spanner! :gob:

sometimes you get little tools sometimes you get big tools & sometimes you just like to get your own - Thursday's grocery shopping list - bread, tomato, cheese & a biscuit joiner > 121943 :D

Nah, points off for that I reckon! :bleh:

[McDuck]

I was 107 without tools.

[Ms Topo]

62 - Average, I'm happy with that :) Still need my man for somethings :msn-wink:

[Danae]

40. <:D;;

My auntie gave me this metal hammer, and if you twist open the handle you get like ten screwdrivers. It's so awesome.

[fire eyes]

0-19 Oh dear - you are a lost cause! Best you stay in the beauty salon for fear of breaking a nail!

and I dont even own a hair straightener!!!!!!!!!!!

If there was an option for Sharpening Knives & Working on the Chain in a Beef Slaughter House .. my points may have been a little higher :laugh:

This was fun ... :niceone:

Good on her! Classic stuff. :laugh: People need to have an amount of insanity in them to keep them sane!
