  1. I go to the pub with real men Cyclone. You might not fit in from what I've heard.

     

    Define real men please :)

    Do you sit in silence with your mates in the pub then?

     

    You might call it something different, but 'gossip' is just part of staying in touch with your social circle.

     

    No,, Gossip is when you want the nitty gritty about someone elses misfortune Cyclone..

     

    Chin wag, chat, catch up is what you call staying in touch :)

  2. I'm not much of a gossip, to my friends i'm a shoulder and an ear and will offer advise if asked for it.. to other people i dont know, i dont really care! It's their business and none of mine..

     

    My mother is a MASSIVE gossip though, and she used to do my head in when i lived at home so maybe that's why i keep my nose out of peoples business, hate to think i'd be like my mother :hihi: :hihi:

  3. Epi otic or something like that.

    Get it from the vets for a few quid or try Pets at home - squirt it in, mush it around gently and with cotton wool stick your finger around remove the crap.

     

    Standard first aid stock when i had my cockers, its all the vet will use initially to get them clean.

     

    Just ordered some, thanks for the advice i'll give it a go :)

  4. They have targeted drivers parking on junctions,crossing zigzags etc ,not sure if they will do anything about blocking drives unless you've got your car allready on and can't get off

     

    They quite often block me in! and it isnt anyone in particular, the school is just up the road and the parents park wherever they can, there is building work going off around the corner too and vans are currently taking over our road..

     

    It's not always bad, just having a whinge :)

  5. Did you read what I wrote earlier about women being bad negotiators? Women fall back on what they would like men to do, not what they can do themselves. Your post was all about men changing.

     

    Why the heck should men change to be more like women? Why don't women make the effort to be more like men if they want what men have?

     

    Aha! Gotcha! :) Negotiation skillz!

     

    Because....

     

    Women who seek to be equal to men lack ambition :cool:

     

    I think what Anna is saying, if men helped out a bit more in the house, with the kids etc then it would give equal time for both parents to be able to follow their careers..

    More and more women are choosing careers over having children, or having them rather late so they can persue their career..

     

    I think we can all agree women have the most to sacrifice when it comes to making their choices. All they ask is to be paid the same as their male counterparts.

  6. It's a very good question. Women tend not to be very good negotiators, and they also tend to put up with something instead of saying something. Then they take time off for children, and then they often go back to a part time, junior, or completely different role that doesn't pay as well as the one they would have had if they had stayed in work gaining experience, clients, confidence and clout.

     

    So what happens is that some women demand that men create an environment where most women don't need to compete fairly with men to compensate for their weaknesses in work environments. This social demand plays to women's strength where men like to please women so they often get more than what they are looking for as men try to out compete each other to present themselves attractively to women.

     

    Admittedly that's an amateur reading of psychology, but I don't think I've missed the essence of human nature there.

     

    Proof please :)

    After the recent BBC storm about women presenters not being paid as much, four of the highest paid BBC men have volunteered to take a pay cut. I also happen to know 3 professional companies where pay cuts for men are being seriously looked at so that male / female pay is equalised without affecting their business viability.

     

    Way to go 3rd wave feminists! Be careful what you wish for because you might just get it. Maybe don't arrange the Easter ski trip just yet.

     

    Good.. Why shouldnt women get paid the same as men doing the same job?

  7. Depends what you are wanting to spend..

     

    15 yr old Dalmore is a very nice one, costs around £50

     

    If that's too much then you can never go wrong with a glenfiddich, costs vary but I recommend 15yr - 20yr old.

     

    If you really want to push the boat out then Macallan is what I would say the nicest whiskey outside of 'rock star' prices :)

     

    But I also would suggest visiting Mitchells Wine Merchants, excellent knowledge.. :)

  8. Open University is excellent for those in a position where they can't afford to go into full time further education, it will take longer and needs dedication to see it through and it can be hard juggling work and studying but it is worth it in the end IF she is going to use the Degree..

     

    OR she quits the job and goes full time to Uni doing what she wants, she's only young and can start over again once she's got her degree..

     

    She's only got one shot at living, she may aswell make the most of it..

  9. Some of these posts have made me chuckle..

     

    As someone who actually lived on leppings lane for 10years, week in and week out we had 25k - 30k plus away fans descend onto us, as many as nearly 40k at the big matches.. Apart from not being able to move the car for not getting parked again it was never an issue, learned to use my legs instead of the car.. the fans come and go and the day continues..

     

    This is going to be ONE weekend, the amount of people is going to be around the same on a match day..

     

    I really dont get what people are moaning about??

     

    It's a great park and should be shared with others, plus the local businesses will benefit and i think that's great..

  10. That's your justification for calling 14 year old girls scrubbers to your daughter, don't you see anything wrong with it?

     

    I'm not justifying anything!! WHAT are you on about?

     

    Here's pretty much how the conversation went...

     

    My daughter picks up a crop top, she's 14yr old and 5ft 8inches!!!!

     

    Daughter: Mum can i have this

    Me: No chance Hol

    Daughter: Why? it'll look nice with my jeans

    Me: It's too short Hol, you're not wearing it..

    Daughter: You're so unfair, my life is over blah blah blah blah

    Me: I'm sorry i've ruined your life Hol, but you're not wearing a crop top that shows off all of your midrift! I dont want you going out looking like a scrubber, you're 14 and you're not wearing it, end of.

    Daughter: but all my friends wear them!

    Me: If your friends jump off a bridge Hol will you join them?

    Daughter: stomps off sulking

     

    It's not easy being a nightmare mum and in your words 'nasty' but hey ho! My daughter isnt wearing a crop top..

     

    And yes i maybe a little over sensitive about it but heres why, my daughter is very tall for her age and has a full figure (developed early) when i'm out shopping with her, do you know how many times i see fully grown men check out my 14yr old daughter? too many, and it turns my stomach everytime.. And it's been like this since she was 12!! So yeah, i probably am nasty, but i'll do whatever it takes to make sure my daughter isnt oggled even more than she already is, so if that means i call girls scrubbers for wearing crop tops showing their bodies off then so be it... whatever

  11. I once made a comment online about how i didn't think Little Mix were appropriate rolemodels for young teenage girls because of how overtly sexual their attire is...

     

    I was told that i was the problem for sexualising young girls and that they should be allowed to dress how they like.

     

    You have to laugh at the keyboard warriors dont you :hihi:

     

    I made a comment about all the sex allegations going off in america saying how are women supposed to be taken seriously when they shout harressment but then strip naked for magazine shoots and films...

     

    Thw whole business in hollywood is sexualised and hypocrytical, i didnt and dont condone abuse but i was told i was against all women.................. pffft

    You're creating a straw man.

     

    I just don't think it's appropriate to call 14 year old girls 'scrubbers' based on their choice of clothes.

     

    In basic terms, it's nasty.

     

    No i'm not.... I dont like 14yr old girls in crop tops, i think that looks nasty! They're not women, they are children.. It's not sexy and they think it is.. why they want to show their bodies off is beyond me... Anyone supporting that wants to give themselves a clip..
