I agree about the rest of the family, but Ozzy’s voice back in the day was incredible.
He had a lot of talent at the height of his fame.

I have just discovered one of the albums since his passing

One of the songs is 'finished with my woman cos she couldn't help me with my mind'

And 'war pigs'

I'm a fan tbh!

Male gynaecologists are weirdos. I can't even look down there with a mirror without feeling a bit weird myself!. Why do men want to be gynaes? Do they enjoy looking at and sticking surgical implements up women's vaginas or what?

Oh! I just remembered:
James Bond films are awful. They are like a horny 14-year-old boy's fantasy of being a spy, worked into a 3 hour advert for men's luxury goods. The fact that they are almost universally taken seriously, with massive budgets thrown at them, Oscar nominations, huge red carpet events etc is proof that we live in a patriarchal society.

In a world with gender equality, it would be taken no more seriously than the female-orientated equivalent, which is probably Twilight.

You are not wrong.

I’m sick of people who incorrectly believe (and say out loud) that you can’t get out of bed if you have flu, or if you can get out of bed, it’s not flu. Cold and flu are different viruses. Flu tends to be worse, but isn’t necessarily.

I also believe 90% of people who “can’t” get out of bed due to colds or flu are either weak or lying. If the house was on fire, you’d get out of bed.

Genuinely if you’re happy then you’re happy. But I am assuming that ultra marathon training isn’t a few hours a week? So you work and you train every day… and have kids? So to me, being a mum is the priority and I get others don’t feel that way and want more time to themselves etc.. but I couldn’t without feeling guilty and selfish. So I guess to me someone who spends more time on a hobby than with their child is selfish. Sorry.

If I didn’t run I might kill people - well, when I say people I probably mean myself 😆
There’s more to me than being someone’s mother.

All this shite I keep hearing about people doing things 'intentionally'. Dressing intentionally, exercising intentionally, breathing intentionally. Load of bollocks.

Lots of parents really are lazy bastards.

Anyone who goes to Dubai is a twat.

I think a lot of the younger generation judge Ozzy by his drug-addled, punch drunk persona, because that’s all they know, but his vocals were insane when he was younger.
The rest of his family are talentless hangers-on though 😂

They really are not. They are doctors (as my father was but not an Ob/Gyn) - they see patients as objects not as people when they are examining them. They are detached. Do you think it would be weird for a woman to specialise in genito/urinary medicine then (mostly focusing on men)?

Sweetcorn in all its form is cattle fodder and unfit for human consumption.

People with expensive powerful cars who toodle around at 10 mph under the speed limit should have the car taken away and given to me and get a picanto instead.

But how else can they force enable you to drive past and admire their expensive car as you do so? And then sometimes they overtake you so they can slow down and give you the opportunity to admire again!

Totally agree.

Most French women aren't particularly stylish, they are just very identifiable.
They seen to all wear the same uniform odf white shirt, immaculate jeans or very plain dresses and separates in beige,white, navy and black.
To wear anything with a pattern or colour is considered a sin .

Don't agree. Genito/urinary can be both sexes and is primarily STD related, gynae is women only. The way you described us as "objects" doesn't surprise me, but I don't believe it's true in all cases either, some doctors are empathetic and see a person. However, a man looking up a woman's fanjo all day is quite another weird issue for me!

So I insist on a female when anything speculum like approaches my bits.

covid proved we only need so many essential workers for society, but because we cannot have population limits then we have to have humans being busy for the sake of being busy

Putting on makeup, nail polish is not a waste of time. Bare nails and unkempt feet are vile. Dont give me all that "id rather spend the time with my kids. Or im too busy" as your reason for not doing it.
And getting dressed up is great at any age.
And yes you can love sex post menopause

I find huge painted nails vile and think many women look like painted clowns when they have make up on.
