What a fab job, PQ. Do you only work afternoons or do they do lunch and dinner too?

Oh- the joys of feminism. They are wondrous to behold. The sheer dignity of it all.

Don't forget to address the customers Queenie in the appropriate grovelling manner whilst wiping up the detritus they spew. You might be a customer yourself one day if you play your cards right.

And all so that a few dozen cleverclogs bluestockings could become famous and rich.

Didn't know that congratulating someone on a new job was being a feminist, spendius. And now I'm answering you, does that make me a masculinist?

Spendy is our resident arse, never happier than when he is being miserable.

I expect you're right, McTag. Thing is, though, that on the rare occasion I've pictured him, he's an elderly chubby little man who is constantly chuckling at the mayhem he unsuccessfully attempts to cause.

If any of you remember Uncle Holly who used to be in Gamages, something like that.

If it comforts you-help yourselves.

You would be insane though if you thought it constituted an argument in favour of feminism.

Won't Queenie have one of those little uniforms with a little pinny and a little white starched tiara and have to go tripping about saying yessirnomadame to the real arses who are not fit to shine her shoes.

It was funny really. Tarah had to admit that she had "pictured" me in order to get in her original jibe but then realised it had to be only on a "rare occasion". Dear me!.

Mac just thinks everything he thinks is a scientific fact. When anybody has a need to see the front of the Algonquin Hotel in NYC I generally assume that it is pretty bloody miserable where they are in order to have to find relief in such a useless and pointless activity. (Apart from helping to wake people up on the flightpaths and shoving shite in their faces of course.)

You don't exactly mellow with age do you oinky, but I'm not having a go at you!

I thought it was quite good that!

Deserved too, except perhaps you're paying too, no, far too much attention to young Queenie! It's not natural for an "elderly chubby little man" to be getting carried away with fantasies about what kids are doing for pocket-money. She'd have earned five times as much doing a bit of grass cutting as well!

Didn't you once say you were six foot tall on these pages?

Funny how people make judgements on here isn't it, especially women and Tara is a spiritualist or something like that, so if she's seeing you as a fat tubby midget and she's wrong, it proves my point that all those spiritualist heister's are a load of charlatans.

Have you got a pic you can stick on here Spendi, let's see if you are a midget or a six footer?

Knock three times if anybody's there!

Bollocks.

Thats hillarious. I might change my signature to that.

Yes I get to wear an apron. But I don't mind cleaning up after people that much. It's only 4 days a week.

ONLY FOUR DAYS A WEEK!!!!!????

Ever heard Dylan sing-

"You just kinda wasted my precious time" ? (Don't Think Twice).

Stendhal said that the world never lets a beautiful woman starve and he meant beautiful in the character sense as much as the physical.

Yeah Mathos. I'm 6 ft. 11 stone 8lbs. Work outside.Never wear a suit or tie (except funerals) or have my hair done.

I've met a few feminists though. Pointed noses and crabbed, pinched mouths like they are sucking a lemon. They are very angry about how badly they are treated can you believe?

Mac just can't handle anything that questions everything he already accepts so he's still young and innocent and has no chance of ever being anything else. He doesn't come from the dark demonic woods like I do so natch he thinks I'm barmy. I think he's a nonentity. So that makes us even.

6 foot tall and weighing 11stone 8lbs, Skinny bastard then aren't you.
Don't you bloody eat or something?

I could use you like a javelin I suppose.

Work? Did you say work Spendi?

I thought you were some kind of plant pot, you know a rich investor of some-kind who spent all day in front of the box and half the night in some dump of a Yorkshire ale house. What do you do outside then in your jeans and T shirt, not forgetting your long johns which you remind us all so much about. Do you work for the council?

Bin man, road and street cleansing dept., I can imagine you with one of those leaf blowers in Autumn, blowing women's skirts up over their heads, just to check the underwear out. A bit of grit spreading when it's frosty, salt of the earth you might say!

Well, well, well, I am surprised.

I've seen the feminists too mate, it's a joke.

A nonentity Jock as well, correcting everybody's grammar and spelling, that really is a sad one isn't it? Sad sap, with a Chairman Mao hat and denim suit, he likes to be right all the time too, him and Stevie Wonder (I wanna be a Mancunian but I live in London, and ride a silly bike around, ) I bet he's a teacher, junior school level!

Not just some of the time, all of the time.

Mind you, I can't help but think you're barmy too, barmy being an understatement in my terminology, still if you work for the local Borough it's understandable, isn't it?

...and what's all this 'I've seen feminists' shite AGGEN!?!?

It's all a load of bollocks!

You sound like wrinkled old male biddies, sat in a little circle in a Trades and Labour Club. Get an effin grip for Christ's sake!

No woman expects absolute parity with men in everything...

Just the basics:

Equal pay

The right to vote

You know, that kind of thing...

What the eff are you afraid of?

I'm off to burn my bra and watch Big Brother, I love trash TV, 'cos I'm a woman.

Don't know about you, smorgs, but I always expect men to give me their seat on a crowded train, well at least the gentlemen.

And you know something? They generally do. Very Happy

Mrs S went as a suffragette to school yesterday.

Chained herself in the staff room and refused to teach.
