You can't say anything to women these days without being accused of mansplaining, p. :shrug:Quote:

I discovered this to the case at the weekend. The topic was 'the correct way in which to negotiate a roundabout'.Quote:

Meetings are funny, though. Most of us would crawl over broken glass to avoid them, but the minute someone feels they're being excluded from one, they lose their shît.Quote:

Can someone get Amla out now, please? I'm getting a bit uncomfortable about this chase.Quote:

What MASSIVELY fûcks me off about it is that it's treated by certain specimens of womankind as a surefire excuse to stop listening and carry on doing things completely fücking wrong. It is the most idiotic and childish idea, based as it is on the nonsensical notion that women are always right.Quote:

Yes, they're really being rather tiresome about the whole thing, aren't they? Not really playing the game at all.Quote:

Every time I look at the screen I see the ball rolling to the rope again. They're being nasty to Moeen :-(Quote:

As a rule, the lezzas like me because I treat them the same as I do everybody- with mild, light-hearted contempt.
The problem isn’t my attitude to women, its my impatience with people’s hang ups, touchiness and personal bull****. My response to what I was going to do about her being offended was ‘well, she will just have to be offended, won’t she’…. It’s not my problem at all. None of my business, in fact.
Yes, but for the sort of people who spend their time being offended, letting you know how offended they are is sort of the point.Quote:

de Kok in now, though. He can be damaging if he gets going.Quote:
