The Naipaul test: Can you tell an author's sex?
In an interview at the Royal Geographic Society this week, during which VS Naipaul provoked fury by suggesting that women writers are 'sentimental' and 'unequal to me', he also claimed that 'I read a piece of writing and within a paragraph or two I know whether it is by a woman or not.' Do you?
Take the test!

I just got home from a manicure! It was fun, I haven't had one since I left Perth 6 months ago. I was attended by two ladies and they were very nice! One of them gave me French tips at no extra cost because she thought I was charming XD It's not yet been an hour and I've already chipped 3 of them by now, haha!
Rightm I'm off to have a shower and then I have a mountain of laundry to fold. Can't go to bed yet, because said laundry is piled on my bed XD;
