Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

I had to put my hand on them and said "these are mine." It was very odd.

Thelilywhite · 02/03/2016 18:02

Toast I bet you were fuming. Did you say anything to him along those lines?

Checking in after a ridiculous day at work. I went to a panel today. I haven't been to this office before so members of staff didn't know me. I was there to observe the admin team, I am not a member of the admin team. About 10 minutes in one of the members of the panel suddenly realized that he didn't have a copy of the required papers and came over to tell me. I was a bit confused, because why would I care...but then he actually tried to take my copies! I need them too, you entitled twat!

Special perfume for older women? I can understand the need to rant about that!

Thelilywhite · 02/03/2016 15:55

Good luck in your new job EElisaveta
I would just like to come in , sink a pint of Guinness and have a rant if that's ok. I was in Boots today and I saw an advert that gave me the rage. It was loreals new perfume promoted by Helen Mirren, obviously aimed at older women called 'golden age' Aarrrrg- so we have to have our own perfume now do we?? So that 'invisible doesn't have to be inevitable' Well I dont know about you but I saw myself clear as day when I last looked in a mirror! Grrr. I'd a good mind to buy a bottle of Charlie just to be perverse. Yeah yeah I know .. first world problems ... another pint please

Fan dabby dozey! Wine

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 01/03/2016 23:22

A round of drinks for everyone, on me. I found out that got a promotion at work today, I thought I had blown it when I didn't hear for AGES after interview but I got it! And I negotiated flexible working, and to start at the top of the scale! I would definitely not have had the confidence to do this without everything I have learned from lurking on here, so you all deserve a large drink. Cheers! Wine

I haven't seen anything about the Oscars at all. I quite like looking at dresses but generally I prefer to look at things I want to wear. Grin

BarefootAcrossHotLegoPieces · 01/03/2016 22:02

Hello oubliette!

I'm watching the Oscars dress round up. Hand me a Babycham and drum me out of feminism Grin

OublietteBravo · 01/03/2016 21:47

Can I sneak back in? I've not been around for ages and ages a while...

NeverEverAnythingEver · 01/03/2016 09:53

I read through TGN and still have no clue what it is about ...

DrSeussRevived · 29/02/2016 20:54

Loved TGN. It's a book you need time for though...

I've just joined that Good Reads group. I'm new to actively thinking about any of this (beyond muttering FFS under my breath 9000 times a day) so I may as well learn with Emma.

Any other pointers for not-too-academic reading welcome too.

(I just bought 'We should all be feminists' on Kindle. Amazon's reaction? 'We've shared this with Mr Pi'. I feel told off. Wink )

slightlyglitterbrained · 28/02/2016 18:28

Oh damn. Looks interesting. Need to reduce my to-read pile though...

DrSeussRevived · 27/02/2016 23:19

Is anyone following Emma Watson's book club?

And she's on radio 4 at 11am Friday presenting Glad to be Grey!

PalmerViolet · 27/02/2016 19:08

Another chance to fangirl her, lovely!
