"as a man.." "I am a male and..." "speaking as a bloke..."

[AnyFucker]

Oh do fuck off.

That is all

I hate stollen, but love marzipan

Totally agree with the OP btw, AF

It also annoys me when there's a general thread and someone comes up with 'Well, I just asked my dp and he says...
Haven't you got your own fucking opinion?

OH, and marzipan is shit. I always pick it out of the Christmas cake.

Well, I've just asked my DH and he say no, I don't

Well, speaking as an Angel, I Agree withAF and Yoni and everyone.

Love marzipan. Tried making it once and decided that shop bought is definitely better, don't like the graininess of home made.

Everyone always assumes I am female, but traditionally, angels are male (but strangely neuter at the same time) which probably means I'm confused.

No need for the Pacific - it happens.

I have always disliked having to state one's gender when registering for talk forums (there is a long story about me having a lifetime ban from one where what was apparently the Final Straw was me suggesting the site hosts weren't technically competent enough to make it feasible to register without stating gender). Until I discovered Mumsnet.

I avoid stating my sex or gender as much as I can, as I want people to respond to me as me, rather than as a woman.

speaking as a plumbers wife I always put forward his opinion on Op's Pipe Query

But would you want to hear from someone who would start off with "Speaking as a plumber..."?

I suppose if your hot water is out, that's exactly what you'd want.

Yeah. Not if you needed your tax return sent in, or your dodgy looking rash looked at.

I am very happy to see you on my thread, tiggy

Speaking as a non twat, of course

Yay! Tiggy's here! About bloody time.

Oh FFS.

NT we have a Vuelta thread in Sports, if you'd wish to pop along?

I never even knew that Tiggy and NicholasTeakozy were men. Defo non-twats! No clues whatever in anything I've ever read by them. Although to be fair the other regular lovely male posters are generally only identifiable by their names (thinking eg BetaDad or niceguy) which are bit of a giveaway.

Never knew Tiggy was a man!

Many of the male posters have names that identify them as men. Is that an attempt at upfront honesty, or a need to assert their manliness?

As a young man...

Morning Pan, will do. I have no idea who's riding this year.
