Apparently it's now "Open Season" on men. shock We've had a regular series of disparaging threads about "men" starting from way back and recently dealing with mens' underdeveloped domestic skills like not washing up the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, not putting things away in their proper places, not rushing off to the GP with a cut finger and lately poor posture when seated wearing inappropriate shorts. And yet ladies knock back (apparently) free medical advice re: fat! without any male responses. Are we men or mice? Time to say our piece, men! grin

why don't you fight back by complaining
Fennel; Not interested! Can do all those things. Anything I can't, then I get an expert in, or better still, go on a course to learn how. All you need is a certificate in common sense. wink
And don't forget; you'll soon need a man about the house to put up the C-decorations and the tree lights. I used to get great satisfaction doing that; even vacuuming the carpet of pine needles afterwards.

Women who aspire to be equal to Men, lack ambition

Rubbish, this was what you said
Oops! Sorry! Did I say it was 1.00AM and I was tired?
My post this evening contained the missing "avoid." Heaven forbid that I should lead a dour Scot off the straight and narrow. grin
From your earlier posts I think you were both school teachers, but I guess my homework mistake has lost me a few marks. sad Perhaps 1 out of 10 for being here?
Btw; the Scotties look good; are they posing for a whisky photo shoot; Scotch perhaps?

Few women admit their age. Few men act it

^How do they avoid a peep-show?
I'm sure when Charles travels the Underground in kilt, (Elizabeth Line of course) he'll show us how to wrap it discreetly around his knees^

Wrap it round his knees ??
I'm afraid i read this with a very different image in mind !!!!

Sassenach512 I was thinking Camilla a fortunate woman indeed.

Am I the only one who thought this thread was about Holly McNeish’s book of poems Nobody Told Me about the trials of early motherhood?

Well I will just have to contain my disappointment won’t I.
