  also, you ought to get yer own mallet and have a few practice sesh's down teh park with the boyf :)

  then when you're strong and polowerful, wipe the floor with fin and dan :D
  yeah, i will get my own mallet at some point, but bf has fucked off, or rather i fucked him off so no practising with him i'm afraid. hence the moving. although this time is cos the landlord is getting rid of us rather than anything else. I have that effect on men :(

  sorry i've been so shit and not been since that time soooo many weeks ago. coincidentally I am moving next door to calthorpe park in just over a week so you can look forward to more comedy dismounts and utter failure to meet ball with mallet :)

• Council cycling safety meeting Thursday 22/10/09

  i don't know whether it's WITH the council? Sounds like it's just cyclists from what I read. Dunno whether I can go either but I emailed them a rant about the contraflow cycle lane on hill st/hurst st.

  heh, nuff skin loss! that was a harsh-looking crash, must have been sore.
  didn't hurt too much at the time, the bruises started showing on monday - in six different places.

  will try not to make it a habit :D

  I cant believe I actually went to polo. Finally, a small amount of motivation.

  Don't really wanna get the camera out around Calthorpe Park though, it's bare ghetto, mans dem was lookin rah shady.
  my mate who lives round the corner was gonna bring her camera out tonight after i told her about the polo, she'll be disappointed to know she lives in a ghetto ;)

  i won't be coming tonight, not feeling too good today, was enough of a struggle getting to work this morning.

  thanks all for your hospitality on sunday, will come to the next session. my bruises are fading nicely :D

• Puerile sexist shite

  in Announcements, Help & Testing • 15 years, 2 months

  

  I do wish the author of the thread would just come out and specify cases, maybe I could understand the reasoning behind this. My own view is women are respected as much as men (and who can tell who is what behind the Avatars of some), and some women are as good as the blokes at giving out.
  i've not been here that long but i have noticed a tendency towards juvenility in threads. a fair few of those are nominally sexist but I don't think it's meant seriously, at least that's my impression.

  however, aside from that fact a lot of it just isn't funny - i appreciate humour as much as the next person, but this isn't - i think it adds to the general impression of this community as housing a bunch of 14 year old boys. and no offence, but if this forum has suffered from a bunch of women leaving, colour me unsurprised.

  i have no doubt the we can defend ourselves from sexism, but being serious for a moment, it gets bloody hard and dispiriting when you're in a minority and it's the same few women feeling obliged to post over and over again pointing it out. or you leave it, as i have been tempted to do on other forums and no one else steps in. it gives newbies the impression that it's ok and maybe they don't realise it's meant in jest because you guys all have the advantage of knowing each other, personally in some cases, you know how each other's humour works and what's acceptable and what's not on a personal level.

  i can skip over silly remarks about women's attributes, sexist jokes which aren't meant seriously and all that but there is a lot of it and it is noticeable.

  and fwiw, the word cunt is fine, imo.
