This place really lives up to its rhyming slang

By jump the ladder (Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 02:56:36 AM EST) sexism, money, footie, whining (all tags)

And I thought it was inefficient at its investment banking offshoot! Still haven't got access to the shared drives, the latest excuse is that the guy giving me access hasn't got access to that drive yet because he too has just joined. Good job banking isn't in anyway time critical, no sirree....

Poll: prefer to be male or female?

Skint

I'm in the unusual position of being skint until the beginning of next month and I'm not used to watching the pennies. This half month's pay just about covers my mortgage and other essential direct debits. Once I get my full month pay next month, back to normal thankfully. Of course you probably won't sympathise etc.

Chelsea

Is certainly not winning any popularity contests at the moment wheras the fans seem to be winning some. It's a reverse from usual position of liking the team but hating the fans. Tough game tonight but I'm optimistic that they can pull it off.

Books

Recommend Y: The Descent Of Man by Steve Jones. Very good about the way that Y chromosone and about being male affects physiology and psychology. Men aren't just incomplete women but are significantly different from female norm. Intelligent and fscinating book about the weaker sex.

It'd be nice to be able to flit between the two.

Being skint is character forming, at least that's what I tell myself in the last fortnight of every month. You'll discover some new cheap recipes at any rate.

I'll admit seeing things from the other side of the fence would be interesting, however I think being male is the best long term option.

I have insufficient data to answer the poll question. I have only sufficient empirical evidence of being one female, and no evidence of being male whatsoever so can make no conclusive statements about biological sex impacting life experience in such a way as to encourage a preference.

Do you earn a lot then?

No by jump the ladder (4.00 / 3) #5 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 03:53:48 AM EST

Of course not. I'm a cuntractor working in the city/CW, I earn bugger all. Well my contracting company pays me minimum wage at any rate.

Otherwise the socialists would be along with their ~~begging bowls~~ tax demands to fuel tax credits.

The example set by the great and the good in the govt and big corporations. If they're doing it, it must be ok then :)

No no no by Breaker (4.00 / 3) #17 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:33:20 AM EST

If you were doing that, then you'd be miraculously being given £350,000 as a "gift".

WIPO by komet (4.00 / 2) #4 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 03:52:38 AM EST

Male, perfectly happy to be male, but wouldn't mind having a bigger cock.

It'd be interesting to be a woman, but a woman with my personality would be terrible.

Depends. by Breaker (4.00 / 3) #6 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:00:12 AM EST

Like, would I be fit?

Then again, I'd probably never leave the house if I was.

Re: Chelski: you're going to get stuffed. A once impregnable defence has started to show cracks, and your pace is off. I predict a 2-1 loss tonight, which is a shame as I'd like to see Chelsea through to the next round.

I dunno by jump the ladder (4.00 / 3) #10 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:04:09 AM EST

I think the novelty of being a really fit girlk would wear off after a few months of shagging on demand. Constantly harassed by twats, other women's jealousy and people talking down to you because you couldn't be possibly clever as well as being really fit.

Yeah by Breaker (4.00 / 2) #16 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:32:27 AM EST

But never having to queue at the bar would be handy though.

And not having to buy any drinks by jump the ladder (4.00 / 1) #18 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:37:18 AM EST

Still a high risk of someone putting roofies in your babycham...

That's odd, I usually find myself being served quickly by fit birds.

All this Mourinho stuff deflects the pressure from the players. 90% calculation in all of this from TSO (the Special One).

Chelsea by TPD (4.00 / 1) #19 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:45:43 AM EST

I'd be surprised if you win this one..... and if not completely patriotic I'm hoping both you and Liverpool get knocked out in this round. Mainly because assuming the mighty Arsenal can capitalise on the away win (obviously a big assumption given some of our lapses this season). I'd prefer to face Barcelona or Benfica than Chelsea or Liverpool as future opponents.

why sit, when you can sit and swivel with The Ab-Swiveller^TM

Arsenal by jump the ladder (4.00 / 1) #20 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 04:53:57 AM EST

You can only play against teams that let you play football so of course the other English teams would be your hardest oppenents.

: Yeah by TPD (2.00 / 0) #23 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 05:06:59 AM EST

that's pretty much my reasoning.

well apparently not fulham at least by TPD (4.00 / 1) #24 Tue Mar 07, 2006 at 05:11:38 AM EST

but I'd agree to an extent, that most british teams are prepared to sacrifice the beautiful game in order to expose Arsenals current frailities.

Basically it's like playing Bolton every f**king week!
