So what you're saying is that women have no sense of humour?

I could have said that to start with but the feminist lobby would have been braying for my blood

I'm just quoting experience. I'm drawing no conclusions

Please don't make my mistake.

When you bury them under the patio. leave enough room for them to get out in order to get your tea made. They will go back under once they finish the washing up if you beat them hard enough.

I had to dig the bitch back up in order to make my tea.

can't be doing with quoting other posters but:

I'm not a feminist. I think some women are dreadful, but then so are some men. All I'm saying is that I don't want to be generically lumped in with the bad 'uns.

So, on that basis, how about being a bit more specific about who it is you're hacked off with - ie 'my girlfriend', ' that daft cow in the car park that crashed into my car' - doesn't make them any less worthy of a rant at, but I'm not them.

(I could have gone down the road of asking "what if you replaced the word 'woman' with 'disabled' or 'black' in your postings?" But I suspect I'd be accused of 'being PC' or 'having issues'. Which I'm not - certainly not the last time I looked. Which isn't a great indicator as I can't see my hand in front of my face, and being this colour doesn't help in the dark )

anyway, lecture over - on with the pi$$ taking...

I was under the impression this thread was just a semiserious bit of banter. Is it not?
I took plowsie & andybrad's posts as a bit of a joke.
Did the same with comments such as this:
