Taking a try to stop feminist movement all over the world :) #16 (permalink) Thu Jul 20, 2006 7:27 am   Taking a try to stop feminist movement all over the world :)
 

Hi Michael!

Is this becomming a feminists topic?
No, no - not a bit. Don't worry Wink

I suppose that a good few (or maybe the lion's share? Very Happy ) of the above choice phrases were contributed by men, by very clever and witty men. (Oddish and sensitive, as well Laughing)

OK… To restore (the?) equity (at least, in this topic Smile ) just a little bit:

She
… has a maggot in her head
… is a queer fish

P.S. Yesterday here were also up to 36-37 degrees… Quite good conditions to fuse (melt?) all those little grey cells - in a useless mess.

Wishing you a bit cooler weather and hoping to see you in good health (in all senses Smile ) Mr. Feminist-Hater Smile

Hi

Just to close the case Smile

At 10.20 this morning (24.07, Monday) I received a quite adequate and exactly-on-my-business e-mail from the secretary. In re and ad rem Smile
All right.

So, as a matter of fact, the area manager, who e-mailed me in a hurry, had used a backlog as a quite informal notice and ‘a lame excuse’-in-advance for possible future delay.

Thanks to all for comments. They helped me to be patient enough Smile
