You definitely can't all them bugbears, b

My first thought on seeing those pictures was "No wonder Dylan Hartley looked knackered at the weekend"

Yes, the male pattern baldness isn't a good look, is it?

Women's football is professional now, isn't it? If I popped on a frock I'd probably still be good enough to play for the Arsenal.

It's the way they tiptoe around how pîssed off the actual female weightlifter is that makes me laugh.

I reckon I'd have a shout in the cricket team. Last time I saw women's cricket, no-one could hit it as far as the boundary. :-(

I read a trans story last week and for some reason it tickled me.


A Swede has used technology to produce a unique tribute to the transgender community by recording a duet featuring his voice before and after testosterone treatment.

Charlie Peck from Uppsala recorded the higher register vocal part of the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros "Home" cover during the first day of testosterone treatment, and the lower register part nine months later. The video has been watched over 17,000 times on Youtube and has been picked up in multiple Swedish media outlets.

Could you show me that bit please? I skimmed through looking for the reaction of the actual female weighlifters but didn't see it at all.

Trey Parker & Matt Stone should be all over that for an episode next series.

This bit. No direct quotes, you'll note. I'm prepared to bet she's a lot more pīssed off than this.

Hubbard's emergence as an international-calibre lifter last year forced Lambrechs to drop to a lower weight division, shedding 17kg in order to meet the 90kg class. Lambrechs, who won bronze at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, admitted she was initially upset by being knocked off the top rung in the rankings by Hubbard, but she is trying to take a positive approach to her competitive future.

Looks like we'll have to wait until womens' sport is significantly dominated by men, then we'll see if the feminists have any balls.
