They Should Have Asked My Husband

Posted this several months ago but I looked it up again this eve as (esp reading about the MW change) in need of a chuckle! So thought I would share again.

Please share anything similarly clever and funny

oh gosh, so true.

I adore Pam Ayres. Her autobiography on Audible is an absolute joy.

Ooh. I must listen to that! Does she narrate?

Yes. It's really very good. I listen to it when I've had a hard day at work on the train home!

Haha. Love it. Hope she named it 'Mansplaining 101'

Thanks Charleyhorses, great recommendation!

Thanks for the smile.

Nice Sunday morning laugh. Thanks OP

Hahaha absolutely fantastic! Thanks!

Marvellous!

That's absolutely brilliant!!

That's fabulous. I've seen her live, she's brilliant.

See this is what I love about FWR! Where else would you get Pam Ayres alongside top feminist analysis and debate

I love Pam Ayres ❤️
But I am slightly worried that the person she is describing in this house is,well,me.....
Ably assisted by DS who I have created in my own image...

Humour gets us through life. I wish there were some modern day Ayres out there who'd write comedy on GC issues. How fantastic would that be!

Oh she's a joy! Wonderful. If your heart can take it, listen to the Akaroa Cannon.

Problem being of course that any gender critical poet that wants to keep their publisher would either be "an ally" or quickly learn to keep their own council. Even if they kept their publisher there's nowt to stop shop staff starting a campaign and refusing to sell their work.
I heard a new one yesterday on Talkradio when a presenter pointed out Twitter banning people for their opinions was taking away the freedom of speech. The woke ones answer was .....

"Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom to reach."

I had to laugh, I thought it was Peter Kay.😁

Fantastic!

Thank you for sharing this.

Thanks for this! Both the OP and the Akaroa cannon poem recommended above - here's a link to that.

Morris and Gasp0de thank you. Quite teary. 😢

I think I may have something in my eye...

Thank you so much for this. A lovely gentle beam of sunshine in a dark and gloomy sky.

Oh, that was wonderful! Thanks OP

Oh, the cannon poem has me tearing up.
