No twas cross post - NT & map is substitute for motorwat service stations (cafe's specifically) - fadgewash I have no time for - I bath/shower every day and have no need for fadgewash or fem wipes !!

'Sanitary' towels.

Get a mooncup!

BlueBeetle · 09/10/2006 12:43

Oh yes - mooncup is BEST invention - don't you want to tell every woman you meet about them ???

bluejelly · 09/10/2006 12:44

It's funny how there is no male equivalent to fem wipes etc

NotQuiteCockney · 09/10/2006 12:44

(BB - I know. But I still like a map and NT membership as a subsitute for fadgewash.)

toilet roll with puppies on

NotQuiteCockney · 09/10/2006 12:44

Oh, actually there was a male substitute, it was advertised in women's magazines, in North America, a long time ago. Essentially in a "use this and you'll get a blowjob" sort of way. Oddly enough the product wasn't a hit.

ROFL NQC - papercuts!

BlueBeetle · 09/10/2006 12:47

Oh - I love the puupy toilet paper !!! Why not have something pretty on them - I secretly used to like the M&S floral loo rolls too but never bought them !

See I don't mind something essential being prettied up - but something FREE being sold - that p's me off (bottled water !!)

Voice mail. Whilst the phone is answered by a moronic electronic woman kindly advising you that all agents are busy and you are number 765 in the queue we are bloody paying for the call.

Just get more staff answering calls in the first place FFS. Grr.

Femwipes. We are not inherently dirty and in need of cleansing. Funny how men aren't encouraged to carry Smeg Wipes for everyday freshness.

Kandoo wipes.

Equal rights for women. Yeah right!

CDs are better than vinyl. We all fell for that Tommorow's World item about spreading jam on these indestructable things.

hulababy · 09/10/2006 12:51

scented tampons!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/10/2006 12:51

Spidermama · 09/10/2006 12:51

'Your call is important to us' No it's not.

bottled WATER more £££ than petrol

madmarchscare · 09/10/2006 12:52

Same with DVDs, jump about all over the place they do

VeniVidiVickiQV · 09/10/2006 12:53

Yes, but isnt that only due to an unfortunate pouch of douglas incident?

madmarchscare · 09/10/2006 12:53

madmarchscare · 09/10/2006 12:53

northerner · 09/10/2006 12:54

The price of train fares for the quality of service provided. That really pisses me off.
