Oh, wait... apparently it wasn't 1st April when I posted and some men do realio trulio believe women should vote and be equal. Although not in Switzerland or the more extremely Christian parts of the U.S., OBVIOUSLY.
What really puts the fear of Eve into the brotherhood, and I tell you this in strictest confidence, is the movement for International Men's Day to be properly marked. We were all discussing this only the other day. Until 1909 men had 365 days. Now, if we really must, we could discuss ceding a second day to women next year. That would still leave us 363 days, at least until 2109. A whole 24 hours is a hard sacrifice to make but it's a settlement we could live with. But now some hotheads on our own side want to hack us down to just 1 day a year! Unacceptable.
...Wait, Switzerland? Is Heidi yodelling for liberation from patriarchy?
I've emasculated young gentlemen cows. Do I get extra feminism points?
You get extra hardcore points, extra scarysheep points that you didn't really need and the highly coveted extra sneering if you ever meet Rebecca Loos points. Basically that means that only Swiss challengers need apply.
Zoroastrian headgear has been in fashion for 3000-3500 years although I note that the precise shapes and sizes of the components varies through history.
I was blissfully confident that you would be able to enlighten me.
Personally, I'm still yearning for a revival of stovepipe hats for men and cloaks for everyone. You could be a trendsetter. You know you'd look fabdoodlicious in the full Isambard. Go on, g'on, gwon, GWON! [/Mrs Doyle]
I have in fact been considering adopting a retro look. I shall have to give the Isambard serious consideration.
Father's Day: own up and you might get a card once a year in addition to the Child Support Agency on your back until the little bastard turns 18.... probably not the best incentive.
Yay for scarysheep points! ::hoards them like an old dragon with SHINY GOLD::
I had to google to find out who Rebecca Loos is. I'm none the wiser, heh.

:-P

It's the Dodgy Businessman's Cheroot which makes that photo perfect.
Rebecca Loos appeared on the lowest of the low reality shows, The Farm, and performed an act on an animal therein less creditable than emasculation. Thus, were you ever to encounter her, the extra sneering points might come in useful.
You could add "cherootin tootin varmints" to your interests. Actually, now I've thought of that phrase, I'm tempted to add it to my interests, heh.
I keep looking at Brunel and thinking: "Would you buy an iron steamship from this man?" If he was alive today he'd probably have his own dodgy reality tv show.
I'd buy a steamship from ANYBODY. A better question is whether I would buy a bridge from a man like that. Which I also would, just in order to be immortalised by William McGonagall.
I could, but something else would have to lose out. Hmm. Okay, got it! Sorry David Lean! Your love with Charles Dickens and Noel Coward may never be consummated now!

I might take up cherootery (cherooting?) as well.

Oooh, I learned words. In fact I must go back and edit a post so I can use that now.
