The mens shed should start to grow.

A welcome change from the six formers who never managed to grow up.
Lets hope parliment looses its school playground debating style.

I suspect there's little danger of that.

It could've been Donald, Boris, Jeremy....

Not wanting to sink into a political debate, just about gender, I do think a woman could become a good negotiator for us in Europe. After all who has ever won an argument against a woman

Our latest car has a satnav.

My wife has christened it Angela, but we can't find a voice with a German accent and neither of us feel quite brave enough to switch the actual language over.

Eric do you really want your sat nav to scream out, "You vill turn, NOW"?

It sort of does that already, and one of the huge disadvantages of having a touchscreen is that it leads to really sloppy ergonomics: one button press and then two different taps on the screen to turn the blessed woman off. Personally I don't think that's very safe, but then I used to really work on ergonomics, back in the day, until they were right. It's harder than you might think.

But we're well used to tuning out demanding Germans, so it would probably be better ;-)

Anybody remember the Two Ronnies sketch "the worm that turned"? That was set around 2012.

Its alright all these women in politics but who's going to do the sodding ironing/cleaning/shopping and now they make smaller petrol lawnmowers....... the gardening! ? :wink:

Maybe they will negotiate discounts for Nissan Micras and extra safety devices for washing machines and irons? lol

Must go, got to make her indoors a cuppa before I wash up lol :roll:

 

[heimlaga]

I know women who can use a chainsaw or a welder or drive heavy machinery as skillfully as any man. I know women who can run the financial side of a farm or a business as skillfully as any man. I know women who have that inherent drive you neded to make big changes. I know women who are natural born leaders and negotiators.

What makes me angry is that the political system in most of Europe only allows the incompetent and unsuitable to reach the top and school them into a narrow-minded way of thinking. Both men and women alike.

I knew my grandmother was finally getting old when on her eighty fourth birthday she gave her axe.

Serious style points for that one!

I never knew my great grandfather, but he had been a head gardener in a Sussex country house (not sure which one though). Long after he retired, my mum says she remembers him weeding the veg rows (during the war, I think), in the pouring rain, with only an old sack thrown over his shoulders to keep the weather at bay. She says he refused anything else. I was reminded of that going round Heligan last week - lovely place
