I think Lisby's tragically for real.


Lisby I think by the time you reach 30 you may regret persuading men that the only value women have is being a pretty little thing.


Women won the vote because they managed to demonstrate better qualities than being a prize pig.

she/he might be winding us up Huguenot, hope so!

women are still struggling to be seen as of equal value (glass ceiling etc)

so let's not good backwards!

The young attractive women in my office are very good at filing (paperwork and their nails!) making the tea and talking about celebrity gossip mags.


Perhaps these should be rounds in the pageant, with bonus points awarded if undertaken whilst wearing a bikini.

.. its like singing or cooking or something

Watch Miss congeniality , if you do not under stand (:



Ah yes, that would be the film where seriously assaulting her prospective boyfriend was considered a 'talent'. I'd prefer we left that bit out. Can't we stick with the Father Ted 'Lovely Girl' rounds? Walking, sandwich making and best laugh?

I have never seen Miss Congeniality, but propose a contest where women can show how they have taken on the men.... and won. I'd like to nominate legaleaglish as a contestant. Firstly for her amazing professional achievements but also because it would be a perfect scenario for her to showcase her kick-boxing skills! How about it, legal?!

watch out boys... you migt find out we really are better than you after all... especially with LegalEagle-ish heading up the team


"Girls are now outperforming boys at A-level in the UK - as they do throughout their schooling."

"Women to be the major breadwinners in a quarter of families by 2030"

"There are now more than 100,000 at-home dads in the UK and many of them says it's harder work than a job,"

"Researchers at the University say that men living on their own are more likely to experience financial and health difficulties, compared with women living alone."

"Women play a more central role than men in a successful society... "

"Men really do have an excuse for supposedly being wimpy about coughs and colds - their immune systems are not as strong as women's, research suggests."

"Their brains react differently, with the female brain showing more activity than the male, according to new research."



*thinks...must not use quotes out of context... could get myself into big trouble*



oh, and before the bun fight begins... I am a great believer in treating everyone with respect and celebrating the differences between men and woman... there is plenty of scientific research that show that mixed gender teams are more effective... and yes, I do like men, I am a sort of post-feminist feminist...


let's play nicely boys....


?Mixed (gender) management teams make better decisions and are more innovative.?

Apart from the A-levels bit (as there is a pretty good argument that the education system has been skewed towards female strengths - admittedly away from male strengths), there's not a lot to argue there, Charlie. Oh and the brain activity one isn't surprising - it must take a lot of thinking to always get the last word in... B)


Happily, none of it means that the ED Miss Lovely Girl competition can't go ahead. Any contestant unsure of the politics can enter in a flurry of post-feminist irony.

...................................... I'm thinking, I'm thinking....


oh yes... and the boys could wear their swimming costumes too... http://warisboring.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/borat-mankini-62408-1.jpg


(and I will call you boys for as as long as fully grown women get called girls!!!)

oh yes, Loz and just the get the (not) last word in....

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
