Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Ooh, it's lovely and warm in here. Liking the woodburner Hairy. We've finally had a proper snowfall out here in the sticks. We seem to have been in the corridor between the stuff from the east and the stuff coming up from the south west and have missed the worst of it all.
WFH today and also being a wuss of a certain age, I took more interest in watching an amazing assortment of birds stocking up at the feeders, rather than sledging. Hats off to those who braved the elements to get to work/played out.

Brilliant thank you rufus
Today I am annoyed because I coloured my hair and a) my grey is dye resistant and b) my husband said I was betraying my feminist principles. Huh.

Having grey hair early is obviously a mistake of nature

Like trump

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 03/03/2018 21:16

40's is early Grin

Im 48 and quite grey...but my hair is very short so most people sont notice

Though i do get

'Your hair isnt grey you must dye it'

'No it is grey...look'

'Oh yes...your hair is really grey, look at Rufus's hair, its really grey'

And then im all Hmm

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 03/03/2018 21:16

Sont...dont

Fuck sake

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 17:56

feeling weirdly bored and irritable and like I can't settle to anything....not sure why.

have a bunch of cleaning that needs doing and should ideally be doing food for tonight and tomorrow.....

I need to do it because it's a small flat and it gets on my nerves when it's not tidy! What I wouldn't give for more space.

SophoclesTheFox · 04/03/2018 18:07

'lo everyone Grin Sorry I've not been by in a while!

I am currently sitting on the sofa with a glass of claret while my lovely Nigel cooks me sunday roast with all the trimmings. Mmmm.

More space just means more stuff to clean, river!

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 18:29

Sophocles, not really, I'd just have the same amount of stuff in a bigger space.

I'm not someone who would look at a big space and want to fill it up with things, I'm not the type. But working a lot from home, having overnight visitors and all the bed linen etc....and I have one of those galley kitchens where you can only stick your arms out, and that is combined with the lounge....oh to be 10 years older and have had access to flats at less than half the price.

I recorded 10 Cloverfield Lane last night, maybe I'll watch that and see if I have motivation afterwards.....never seen it, heard very mixed reviews.

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 18:34

random boring announcement - I've had a protein bar and I feel better now. I think I didn't realise I'd worked out quite so hard today!! though I probably should have guessed when I hoovered up lunch like the aardvark in those old Pink Panther cartoons.

10 cloverfield lane is very creepy, I liked it though, John Goodman is great in it

Thanks Quentin, I will save it for another night

I put Taylor Swift's "Reputation" on and whizzed through all my tasks, yay! I owe a lot of motivational energy to Taylor Swift! As well as commute survival....

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 20:21

Someone made me read on another thread and now im a bit distressed

Its not 'what' i read...more the fact i had to read it

And dh wants to watch dirty dancing

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 20:32

blimey Rufus, the way you've phrased that I can't tell which is worse!!

Sorry you've read something horrible.

the world is odd. My Twitter feed flagged a photo of elephants as "sensitive material" and I had to be sure I wanted to click on it!!!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 20:36

river

To be fair the thread wasn't horrible...it was just evidence of how awful MN feminists are

And there wasnt any evidence

Are elephants sensitive

Joke for you....why are elephants wrinkly

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 20:46

I don't know Rufus, why are elephants wrinkly? Smile

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 20:49

Have you ever tried to iron an elephant Grin

Why don't elephants eat penguins

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 20:50
Grin

I don't know, why don't elephants eat penguins?

Cross-joke

How do you put an elephant in the fridge?

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 20:52

They cant get the wrappers off

Errrmmm (i do know an elephant and fridge joke...but im not sure its the same one)

Is it...

In the salad drawer Grin

Dh said 'tell them there is an opened penguin in there '

Riverside2 · 04/03/2018 21:02

ha ha ha, I like that one
my sister will love it

The "how do you put an elephant in the fridge" is actually a management joke...the answer is, open the door, put the elephant in, close the door.

sorry that's not very funny is it Blush

your DH's punchline is much better!!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:18

Aaah man thats what i was going to say

One last one...but its in a few parts

How do you get four elephants in a mini?

HairyBallTheorem · 04/03/2018 21:20

Can I join in? I know this one...

Two in the front and two in the back.

There were three elephants in a helicopter. They fell out. One landed in a lake. Ba-doom, tish. (My friend reckons this is the worst joke ever).

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 04/03/2018 21:20

hairy Grin

How do you know if there is an elephant in your fridge
