TEN MALE TERRORS

Ten things that terrify men

The death-rattle of a washing-machine not covered by extended warranty

The pub pianist's introduction to My Way

The constant drip behind the false wall after the shower has been turned off

The boss saying, 'so how long have you been with us?'

The first toy commercial of the festive season

The background noises when phoning home at the weekend to see how the kids are getting on

The garage mechanic's ominous intake of breath

Their name in the middle of an otherwise unintelligible public announcement at a football stadium

The opening bars of next door's Guns 'n' Roses double album

The pilot waiting until 30,000 feet before announcing, 'there is no cause for alarm'
