Getting my bike licence, the post office and feminism.

OK, OK, mesage received and understood Bear. It's that nasty habit I have of
hitting 'send' before thinking things through.
That's how I've just 'won' a 2.5, V6, 24v Mondeo on ebay. God alone knows
how I'm gonna insure it !

 

Beav scribbled:

And here I was expecting lots of people to say this. Bah! Feedlines,
what use are they round 'ere eh?

 

Nope, not me... I was getting worried then...

You're admitting to being vaguely human ?

HTH

LOFL !

Err, I think the last sentence accurately describes me too .. !

To rectify this, I have just booked my 1st track day.

Here's to finally riding a 'committed ride' !

Cheers

Paul.

 

LOFL !!

I've not enjoyed a thread this much in ages

re: sexism in Rome, my fiancee had some harrowing tales to tell both
personally and anecdotally (She worked in Government and Finance, in
Milan and Rome)

P.

Well how about sharing them 'anecdotally' with us then?

 

lol
I'm trying to remember the name of the 'dictionary' me mate had, full of
such stuff. The words were all place names IIRC. Some were *hilarious*.
Pick the 24v beastie up tomorrow. I'm kind of looking forward to
it.............with trepidation.
What the ****** was I thinking of .

Which was as wonderful as last time. Going back ASAP, hopefully July.

Oh congrats, when did this happen?

There are always going to be unreconstructed chauvanists. We get used
to it and adapt. Eventually they'll work out that things have changed.
We've waited a couple of thousand years, a few more wont hurt

 

Er no. this was the italian girl I was engaged to who fecked off with
an Italian when I came back to the UK. But nice try ;-)

Well, one guy I worked with in IT (supposedly a more progressive line
of work, as there are many women in IT in Italy) said that women didn't
belong in IT, and were only good for 2 things, 'making pasta and giving
blowjobs'

And this guy was middle management... :-/

He's obviously full of shit- the best cooks are generally male.

 

He'll be CEO by now if they've got any sense then.

 

Yeah, it'll be wasting time thinking about what people are good for
that's holding him back..
