I didn't thank it, it's one step from that post to "Women are the weaker sex". If you accept peoples personalities are different according to sex, well, you soon get all the gumpf I've read in 19th century books.

Anyway, drive safely, and don't forget to take a shovel just in case;)

Apart from the obvious physical aspect, I think women are the stronger sex.

I think I have flask overload and no time/place to use them in my current life. I picked up some great rugged unbreakable food flasks (wide mouths) made by Stanley (manly ones), cheap as chips from Aldi at different times in the past 2 years.... figuring they'd come in handy one day. I also have a regular flask, £4 Asda job.

Flasks.... waiting for some mythical time when I "get a proper job" and will do packups.

This "proper job" is foremost in my mind on days like this. I've not "built a business" or promoted my online stuff ever really - it just exists, hanging there in Google wherever it does ... and it pays. But I think today everybody's doing Xmas parties or online looking at goods to buy in the sale, because they aren't on my pointless shabby sites clicking on random adverts. At £9.26 today, that annualises at £3,400/year income .... of which I would probably say £1k is operating costs. I do hope it's a blip and not the end.

Being paranoid, I just checked if my site still exists/is up. It's there - and there are currently 40 people on it. There's always 40-70 people on it during UK hours..... just the bugg4hs aren't clicking anything as that site's made me £8 today (the rest was from other sites/articles). Soooo annoying.... click you bugg4hs, click

Er, my dad and mum are not from the same class.

They passed their 40th aniversary a few years back.

They are happy and still in love.

You are talking a complete load of tosh, frankly.

Class is maybe the wrong word. Different culture is another way of looking at it. I work with others who like me are partly from closed cultures. One is from a Water Gypsy family, another from an Irish Traveller family and I'm from a Romany family, we're all 2nd or 3rd generation. We've all more or less totally lost the culture. We might know a bit about it, we might have a better inkling of what it's like to be part of that culture than the average Joe (or country girl/gorgy), but we've all totally left it behind. Its similar for some immigrant communities too. Assimilation - which I'm personally in favour of - can feel like its killing off your history. This is particularly the case when people see your way of life as problematic or anachronistic. It is a very difficult issue.
