Talulasmum on the what new emoticons would you like thread..

"[computer club hour at broadmoor]"

Hecate on the finger prints for library cards thread

"Can you imagine, you're 40 yrs old, you get arrested for some minor motoring offence, the police fingerprint you, check their system and tell you that you owe £15,872.93 in late fees for a copy of Fantastic Mr Fox that is 32 years overdue."

Any more for any more?

I liked Madamez's quote about men and housework, will find and link

I didn't get the newsletter last week. What did you use?

Was it CD's wankered manor? [hopes]

Here:

"Men who repeatedly ignore instructions on domestic tasks are engaging in passive-agressive isogyny - the message they are quite consciously and deliberately transmitting is " I am a man. I am too important to be made to do menial tasks like this. You are a woman. You are biologically designed to service me. Sooner or later you will give up trying to make me do any kind of domestic work and just do it all yourself. Because that and the occasional bit of sex is what women are for, and you will just have to put up with it if you want to have a man in your life'.

Let's have something angry and truthful this week

Don't know what was in MN's round-up, hunker, but MP included this in hers which made me roar laughing...

"God, this always happens," moaned Bobbiewickham, "I think of it as the reality gap: what you imagine you look like and what you really look like. I find it strikes when I think I look all cute and cuddly in my leisurewear and bedsocks and glasses, a la Cameron Diaz in The Holiday. Then I catch sight of my reflection in the kitchen window and realise I look more like a short sighted, depressed sofa."

Marina - I emailed that quote to my best friend - there were a lot of truths on that thread.

I'd like to nominate UQD on this thread for
this

"Marxism's essential problem in a nutshell. 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs', so who shovels the shit?"

I like

"Oh ffs if you want nice pi** off to bounty and get a ticker"

On the wanted threads

cat64 said this:

Quote from NAB "my logic is the oven doesn't know you have gone out so isn't thinking lets go wrong right now." surely worthy of a nomination for quote of the week !

Note -

"Marxism's essential problem in a nutshell. 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs', so who shovels the shit?"

Need you ask?

i vote for Nab and the oven comment too

Greensleeves - agreed, there would be a question today over confusion of the impersonal "his" with the masculine "his". But I don't think we can read too much into what was, when the line was written, considered to be an impersonal pronoun.
