Quite right, I'll retract that. 'Flawed' then.

er, how does this square with say your views on erm Public Schoolboys or were they based on sound research? Me, I'm all in favour of a load of prejudiced, anectdode as science, peddling of myth, polemic crap that is the best part of Forums such as this.

What? I don't recall voicing any opinion about public schoolboys. I do recall voicing an opinion about my co-workers, none of whom are or were public schoolboys.

Enough said, I think.

Guilty of sounding off about public school boys. I would go off and draft a better argument but I am probably far too grumpy in the face of a mountain of ironing for work next week. Thank god I have ignored all advice from Ma about ironing knickers, sheets and tea towels, otherwise said mountain would likely crash into the flat downstairs.

I hate snotty b@stards who look down on people who have less money than them.

Especially when said snotty b@stards profess to be one of the lads and their social climbing has given them vertigo.

Oh my, I hadn't even realised that's what it was! And now it all becomes so clear. Ok another thing to add to the list then; women who become victims of their own hormones...fools!

[dita-on-tees]

I dont know where I stand on menstruation. I think inconvenient is as far as i will commit. But I hate all these gizmos to disguise it like little flowery cases. Nop fairly happy to rummage in my handbag, probably finding an archaic chocolate eclair, and walk to the ladies tampax in hand (actually more of a lillets kinda gal) maybe stop and have a chat with someone. I am female in my 30, I bleed, its normal and I dont want to dress it up like an embarrassed teenager.

too much information? yeah too much information. :-$

The last government pontificated a lot about 'evidence-based policy', but it never seemed to like the evidence.

Actually, I don't even notice my behavioural changes which is why it *is* so embarrassing - it takes someone else to point it out. Here's too much info for you: I was horrified to find out at 15 that my father knew when I was due before I did, based on my 'mood swings'. Almost 15 years later and nothing has changed. What the calendar can't seem to predict, my partner is able to. I get quite cross about it all - men get to be testosterone fuelled power-hungry junkies whilst I sit at home tearing my hair out over a forum. Haha, how sad am I and how much do I want one of your archaic chocolate eclairs!

and the synchronization only exacerbates the moods :P

[dita-on-tees]

Admittedly its well past the 10 second rule but dust it down it will be grand....

I was at an all girl college at university and the sync'ing of periods is a strange reality. Ha ha maybe the ladies football team will all sync, can you imagine once a month the score will be 11 -0 but with 5 red cards and a 4 match ban for a foul mouthed tirade at the ref for Miss Tees...

when I was in Brussels I slept under a skylight and my cycle flipped out I thought I was pregnant but no my cycle was in sync with the moon, ovulation at full and period at no moon. Weird.

[michelle-b]

A whole football team of menstruating women with DJKQ at the helm is a terrifying thought! lol

You didn't have an overwhelming urge to howl at the moon did you? ;)

[cate]

I am very grumpy about adults who think it is OK to cycle on pavements because they have children with them. This happens a lot around here.

[dita-on-tees]

Oh Ive been howling at the moon for years...

[DJKillaQueen]

Yeah I have heard that Dita is quite a howler......

[antijen]

People who lose sight of there opinion because of the need to prove they are right, pisses me off, impossible to have a

conversation, they often dont listen.

In fact (a reality and my opinion) when Ive pointed out they are not listening, they carry on. Not noticing I've

left to search for the moon.

[michelle-b]

My own stupidity?

Talk to the hand.....

[Twirly]

The bus sailing past me in the mornings as it?s full of school kids... it was bliss all summer when the bus was half empty. Now I can?t get on the d@mned thing!

[dita-on-tees]

Oh I sympathise Twirly I used to get the P4 to work and the same used to happen to me. Since the Overground opened in May and I no longer get the bus and, I no it is nigh on impossible to believe, but I am almost the model of an adjusted person on a morning...

As Bob Monkhouse said, "Growing old is compulsory. Growing up isn't".

[Ridgley]

My pet hate is passengers who come, on the bus or train and they sit on top of you not next to you and they sit down as if they are at home not considering if the other person is ok and when you say to them are you sure you have enough room they look just look at you gauntly.

[cate]

What does look at you gauntly mean?

[Ridgley]

Meaning outer space stare

Bob Monkhouse also said:

"When I told them I wanted to be a comedian, they laughed at me.

They're not laughing now....."
