I can join in with most things women want to talk about. But the one which drives me up the bloody tree is DIETS. I've lost this amount of weight, ooh, I lost two ounces this week by eating lettuce, I'm doing the fart-plan diet, I'm doing the ryvita-plan diet.... SHUT THE FECK UP!!! Stop obsessing about your boody WEIGHT!

Any other blokes here feel the same??

But do you have a license? So you could hire a car if you wanted to drive out of town or on the Continent, say?

I'm not a bloke & I don't drive, I also get the "WHAT you mean you don't or you can't?"

UQD - you lucky lucky.....
Picture this - dark motorway, eyeballs on stalks, 3 gently snoring passengers (DCs and DW). That's about the measure of it.
I love driving me. Not.

Topics I can't do: anything about mooncups. Even the name freaks me out.

Mooncups ROCK!

I can't say enough good things about them.

My period is so much more tolerable since buying a mooncup.

No more post-two babies tampons mishaps, no-tampons-in-the-house emergencies, etc.

Thanks, MN!

My reasons for not driving are medical, just to clarify.

Admittedly I don't drive much anymore, but I once had a heinous 35-mile/day commute in rush hour.

I'm glad I don't anymore, because I became a pack a day smoker when I was driving that route.

EM Forster reckoned that the more you drive, the more stupid you become....

probably becoming immediately concerned in simple mechanical movements regularly for extended periods dulls the brain....

makes sense..but I'm really stupid!!

Glad to hear blokes are fucked of with diets, as a woman I am too! So I don't any more! However I can no longer claim to be totally svelte esp after having a child lol. So here's a question that come's after the Hate Women And Their Diets debate. Is it ok (in men's eyes) for women to be bigger and if so, how big is too big?

Food (or not) for thought!!
