Why are blokes so crap at packing?

So we heaved our suitcases downstairs last night and put them on the scales. Ella and I weighed in at 24 kg (one kg over the allowance) but the other half's suitcase weighed 34kg.

At the risk of living up to my reputation of being somewhat schoolmistressy, I was forced the confiscate the follwing items from his luggage:

3 pairs of theatre blues
1 large tube of Ultrabrite toothpaste (in case you can't buy it in Sydney)
1 Bar of "Dove" soap (ditto)
1 pair of heavy shoes that rub his toes and are therefore seldom worn
1 "I've climbed Sydney Harbour Bridge" teeshirt - no comment
3 winter shirts
1 Gap hooded top that he'd aready decided was too heavy to pack

He looked very sheepish. He still does, actually.
