<works on coughing technique>

I've had a cough since christmas, it hurts, I'm a wimp and make half arsed attempts to cough, t'is funny.

<whittles away>

I'd love a go at whittling.

Come on Doctrine, keep it up. You can be coughing and wheezing and hawking well into spring.

Ah, you have beaten me MT, I've only had mine since 1 feb or so.

Or whittling perhaps.

Wood turning? That always sounds like a mellow, contemplative hobby.

Arf.

What on earth does he think he'll achieve by that?

This person would have had a proper hobby in the old days.

I blame the internet.

WTF is going on at the moment? Is there a clan somewhere?
Your NN is offensive - why don't you look at the websites for domestic violence and rape support?

I had a persistent phlegmy cough from the 19th of December until the 20th of February.

Do I get a phlegmy prize?

ODFO.

So is this yucky phlegmy cough I've got, running.

Well he's persistent, I'll give him that.

MNHQ

Oh right, he's been deleted, sorry, I'll stop talking to him.

Oh well done, you found one.

What percentage of attacks on males do you think that females attacking males account for?

The same percentage as false allegations of rape?

See here's the thing: let's repeat again for the trolls, the MRA's, the inattentive and those who have just stumbled upon the thread and can't be bothered to read the whole thing (nothing wrong with that):

a quarter of all women get raped or sexually assaulted.

Most do not report - 85-90%.

Of those who do, only 2% ish are actually lying about it, but only 6% get to see their rapist jailed.

Which would most reasonable people see as the priority?

The Mount Everest of sexual assault, or the anthill of false allegations?

If you hate women, obviously the anthill is your first priority.

If you don't, it's not.

HTH.

Yes by other men.

Have you thought of campaigning against male violence?

That way, all the rapists you're so worried about, might be safe.

I note that the woman was in the company of men. Funnily enough, women on their own or in a group, don't beat up men. (Unless they're that kickass group in India who beat up domestic violence abusers, whose name escapes me right now).
