You win!

An ex-girlfriend once punched me in the face. A very good right-hook to the jaw that actually dazed me for a few seconds and left a bruise I might add. We were sitting opposite each other, at a table of about 10 friends, in a busy restaurant at the time. I secretly enjoyed it.

Hasn?t the human race been around for long enough for us to know that this whole battle of the sexes thing is never going to go away and will just manifest itself in whatever the idiom of the day is? So why really bother? Personally all the way through my education and career I have never seen anyone denied opportunities on the basis of sex. Although I may just be too male to notice it which is a point I will concede. If a woman would like to explain my inadequacies in this area to me I will be more than happy to have a full and frank, face to chest, discussion with her about them.

Admit it. You were actually Paul in the Wonder Years weren't you?

Marilyn Manson?

Sorry to get all Jimmy Page like with you all but; I would say that you have kids to share happiness not gain happiness. If you?re out looking for happiness you probably won?t find it.

You could say that if people want to have kids to fulfil some kind of personal need for happiness they are kinda missing the point a bit.

Hang on. So you?re saying there?s this guy called Bruce right? And he ate his brother and now he has two willies? Is he Australian or something? I?ve heard some weird shit goes on over there.

Lately I?ve been looking in the mirror in the morning and seeing Don King which is normally a sign that I need a haircut.

If we could get going to the pub to be classed as a religious activity would they stop taxing the bejesus out of beer?

It's all the floppy hair around the place.

Top tune indeed! Is that scratching in the intro?

Fair enough Belle but what have you got against pandas?

Ok that was just masochistic. I think I need to go have a lie down.

Turn this up really loud. It's morning and time to Arise

Saturday moaning stuff

Nah that bugs me too. I always have to stop, breath and repeat the mantra, ?I will not let the public transport system turn me into a Mr grumpy pants.?

I opened a box the other day and there were green, yellow and red ones all mixed in. Together. No lies. There right in the middle, a bleddy, blue one! I couldn?t believe mar ars. Edited: for the benefit of our short wave listeners.

Is this the giant bunny thread?

Colonising and civilising is the way I prefer to refer to it.

Doesn't the queen own everyone?s shoes already?

Wasn't flouncing. Was in a meeting. It was about summat worky, quite possibly involving money and/or power ?and stationary.

Fair point toots. Although as a middle class, white, heterosexual, male I would really like to know where my money and power is. Maybe they handed them out after assembly one day when I was smoking behind the stables.

The streets of East Dulwich used to in fact be completely paved with dog poo. Over the years it has worn down to expose the raw concrete underneath with only patches of poo visible. Blame the council.
