If I ever needed a reason not to send my child to a free school run by this tosser he's just given it to me on a plate.

SAHM: work from home, cos I've been made redundant recently
Floating voter: absolutely not, not even last time
Laptop wielding: harpy what qualifies you as a 'harpy' as opposed to just using a laptop? 0.5 to Toby
University educated: yes. Why is that a problem?
Mid 30s: early 40s (sob)
Two children: yep, and?
Victorian house in north London: no, but it is a Victorian house in the west Midlands.
Weekends in the country: there's countryside up the road that we go to at weekends - does that count?
Fiat Multipla: don't know what that is
Weekly shop delivered by Ocado: in my dreams
Fondness for Green & Black's chocolate: not really. Can take it or leave it
Know someone who knows someone who once went out with Ed Milliband: no, but I know someone who saw Ed Milliband in the street near her house once if that helps
Skinny jeans: got me there

Doesn't look like your extensive research is bearing up Tobes.

Harpies feature in one of the Greek myths - but I can't remember which one. Possibly in one of the stories of the 'Seven Trials of Hercules'? Anyhoo, they're menacing female characters who aim to wreak destruction and havoc.

Going to look up exactly who they 'were'.

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 22/03/2011 11:32

harpies Definite fear of the feminine going on there, I think. Was Toby educated at an all-boys school?

dotnet · 22/03/2011 11:49

I've just looked 'harpies' up ... the explanation says,

'In classical mythology, fabulous creatures, possibly wind spirits. In Homer's Odyssey, they were winds that carried people away. Elsewhere, they were sometimes connected with the powers of the underworld.

... These early harpies were in no way disgusting. Later, however, especially in the Argonautic saga (that'll be 'Jason and the Argonauts' to you and me) - they were represented as birds with the faces of women, horribly foul and loathsome. They were sent to punish the Thracian king Phineus for his ill-treatment of his children, but Calais and Zetes, the sons of Boreas, finally delivered him...

Hm, interesting - they were 'horribly foul and loathsome', but I'm on the side of the Harpies if they were sent to punish King Phineus for ill-treating his children!

Yay for the Harpies, I say!

Grin

Let's reclaim the Harpies, then!

Harpynet?

I see that one of Toby's books is called 'How to lose friends and alienate people'. So he obviously makes a living out of this sort of thing.

TY is conceivably the most irritating reactionary git currently circulating. Stop him before he kills again.
