Their sense of temperature. Blokes have a pretty linear scale: 20-ish C is warm. If it's more than that it heads towards "hot", if it goes below that it heads towards "cold". Women can be either "hot", "cold" or "just right" at the same temperature. For example, MrsREV (before retiring to bed at 10pm 
) was "freezing" and donned 52 pairs of pyjamas while I was sweating. When I was summoned to bed (because she couldn't sleep without me being there 
) she was "too hot". Quelle surprise.
Also wimmins seem not to be able to understand the words "Stop messing with the thermostat or I'll actually kill you"

Exactly the same in our house. I sit there in shorts and a t-shirt, she is bundled up in Ralph Fienne's spare camping gear, moaning about how cold it is.
We can regulate our temp, they seem to be incapable of
Also last weekend, lovely weather. I was outside in shorts and t-shirt, them lot (g/f and kids are asking to put their dressing gowns on and jumpers !! )
Oh and if she touches the thermostat she is dead meat

He is, definitely!!
AND..........why is it that if there's something they're watching on telly it has to be REALLY LOUD (like being in the local multiplex), but if I'm watching something I'm told to turn it down because it's deafening!

And another thing..........how come they've lived in the same house as you for the same amount of time (maybe longer) and they never know where anything goes? i.e. shopping, clothes, kitchen stuff.

How come they ask to be shown something or have you explain in laymen's term how to do something and then the next day or next week they have completely forgotten it
It's not rocket science sweetheart, if you pretty little head cant take in the finer details, then dont ask
Worry yourself about fluffy non essential stuff like pot pouri, whether your friend has a smaller bum than you, what essential viewing is on tonight, planning the next show expedition etc

On a related subject, if you stay at a swanky hotel, you often find that they'll leave a chocolate or two on the pillow for you. Whatever you do, remove this before you go out drinking! If you don't you'll have a hell of a time convincing the maid the next morning that the suspicious brown stain on the pillow is, in point of fact, confectionery!
