You see, that's a shame cos we didn't even hardly get started. We could have had a nice chat about what your ideas of female workers and their opportunities were. How you think women should be treated, where the inequalities lie, what can be done about it etc. Unfortuntately you've just proven yourself to be arrogant enough to think this discussion is over merely because you deemed it so.

Yes, sorry I did miss your question. My wife has found the attitude of her male colleagues extremely tiring. They find her a curiosity as she is university educated and can do things that they think you need to have a penis to do (like negotiate contracts). They constantly patronise her basically. I have also had more light-hearted examples of astonishment that I do some of the cooking and hang out the washing etc. If you are offended by my opinion, then I apologise and I'm pleased if your experience has been different. 32853[/snapback] Maybe that says more about your wife's colleagues than a generalisation about women? It's the 21st century for goodness sake! Women do have degrees and high powered jobs - all over the country, and men DO housework! I'm not offended by your opinion. But as a hard-working, independent, self-sufficient woman with a career who lives in the north I found your comments to be extremely wide of the mark!

I think I've already got it. And I'm at work I'm a martyr

I'm sorry, you must have missed my question before. Can you give me an example of the first-hand experience you have had in backing up your statement that women in London have far more opportunities than us women in Newcastle? Oh, and no hilarious comments about working in Greggs this time please

Hang on while I bow to your superior knowledge first. Can you give me some kind of example?

You'd be quite attractive yourself if you had a head, body and personality transplant

It's 'funny' how you've taken umbrage with those jokes yet you made a joke yesterday which denigrated the women of Newcastle. I didn't find your joke particularly offensive (or funny) I just find it hypocritical that you think it's ok to make a sexist joke yet find these ones unsavoury. Maybe it's because you are pursuing an agenda to back up yesterday's claim that the people of Newcastle have less enlightened views when it comes to women and minorities. 32694[/snapback] Make you look racist, sexist and homophobic? No, I'm sure you can do that for yourselves. I don't even have to try. As for my "joke" yesterday, it was not degrading to women, more highlighting a lack of opportunity for many women in this area. It's easy to be confused when you are ignorant. 32704[/snapback] There's as much opportunity for women in this area as there is anywhere else. It depends on the ambition and motivation of the woman. Your comments yesterday were ridiculous. As for you starting threads like this, I think you lack some sort of attention and the only way to get it is to drag something up on a message board from bloody ages ago, that everyone involved knew was a joke, hoping it'll get a bite. Well done - you got one, now please fuck off.

I can hear it

What time do you think they have to get up in the morning to put all that slap on? 32472[/snapback] I doubt if they actually go to sleep!! It must take them hours to trowel some of that stuff on! Does no-one ever tell these people what they look like??? 32477[/snapback] Some of them wear so much mascara that they look like them dolls where you have to tip their heads back so they can open their eyes.....

You sure on that? If you're heading north then wouldnt it be a left turn at the roundabout? Right would take you into Team Valley wouldnt it? or am I at the wrong junction? 32476[/snapback] Heading north and take the junction after the Angel. Turn left at the bottom of the sliproad then turn right at the little roundabout.

Maybe it's Freddie that Sammy secretly lusts after In which case, Gemmill should be very afraid

I was making it out to be teeny and insignificant man!

Not having a car means it doesn't affect me, but some of the peeps at work were talking about it today. If it's anything like the last fuel protest/blockade then it pays to be a nursey-type as some places ration their fuel and will only let you fill up your car if you produce ID showing that you're an employee of an emergency service. If anyone thinks they can pass for me then you can have my ID for a fee

If anyone that posts on this forum deserves to be made an Ayatollah it's me. I would be perfect as the fanatical, ranting type that declares holy war on anyone that disagrees with me. All hail Ayatollah Halliwell. If not then ---> 32215[/snapback] I dunno, you lose one little cricket match and you're all full of hell.

And the sock thing really pissed you off? Would you consider yourself to be irrational?

I'm disappointed if thats the case like. After having had to see numerous screenshots of his missus all day the only thing getting me through was the thought that if we won she'd be getting a serious seeing to later that night! hubba hubba tbh. 32292[/snapback] So hang on - let me get this right. You were excited at the thought of Mr and Mrs Flintoff being at it? Mebbes you need to get into the dogging scene. Are there any 'hotspots' in Manchester?

Your first post was right for the directions. Turn right at that roundabout and follow the road round - it's on your right hand side.

I had a dream last night that a friends dad was driving me somewhere in a car, drove straight into a forest-type place, leapt out of the car and left me in it to roll down an embankment in slow motion.

Gosh, you're so nice to people.

You on about Kevin Pietersen? Born and educated in South Africa as far as I am aware.

Steve Halliwell? Wellsy? magelaide?

Petty bastards! Oh well!!

204-7 now. Not typing anything else due to irrational superstitions.
