Could you describe another as an animal

How does mr JJB react to that? I’m happy in the garden on my own, I don’t generally need assistance I’m not sure I’d tolerate OH chilling and commenting from the sidelines though. I think in that scenario I might not be a normal badger I might become a honey badger. 

In reality, we divide and conquer,  when it comes to the garden.   He does grass, hedges, pond, digging, edges and tidying.  I stick to sowing, planting, picking, veges, fruits and flowers.  There are some days we don't even see each other except for meals.  We discuss but never criticise,  that's why we've lasted 39 years!  There might not be criticism but there's plenty of taking the mick.  He's quite pleased at being a bulldog.  He's currently in battle with an infamous telephone company,  he won't win but he'll enjoy trying.  Victor Meldrew comes to mind .
