Alright, quit talking about me in front of my front...

Maybe next time I'll have the courage to introduce myself to Emma, but really she was so scary up there :P.
I an not fucking scary! Why does everyone think that?
There's more where that came from, my dear.
Urge to smut... rising...

Was a fabulous, fabulous night. Gobsmacked that Mr Slack managed to post anything today.

That...will take some beating.
His upper arm?? Was he holding it upside down or something?? And if so, why?
Okay. I really do need to get him to draw a diagram or something some time.
Partner used to run computer cable through office buildings. He was drilling a hole in the ceiling above him, but access meant he couldn't drill up, he had to reach up through the access hole, and then drill down .
The drill bit came down through the ceiling, and into the upper arm of the hand he was holding the drill in. He got to watch his flesh twist around the drill-bit in the kind of interesting shock-y state that doesn't lend itself to putting the drill into reverse.
The scar is spectacular.

Of course, the most manly thing is to pulp your thumb with a hammer or lacerate body parts with a saw. Extra points if you swear, grunt a few times and bandage it with a poultice of blood soaked sawdust before returning to what you're doing.
My partner put a concrete drill through his upper arm. How manly is that?

I have never been more convinced of my own utter uselessness.
If it helps, Danielle, we could make that list of 'things a lady should be able to do', and then gleefully celebrate not being able to do any of them.

Makes me think I need to repeat this para:
Yeah, I get that. But oddly, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, leadership/organisation has always seemed a female trait to me. In that everybody mills about mooing until the Decider in the group goes 'screw this, here's what we're doing', and in my experience with friends and family that person is almost always female. Hence this:
In my family, things are always organised by women. That's determined by a simple, and hugely sexist, underlying assumption: men are a bit shit. A man couldn't organise a lay on a poultry farm. If you want something done properly, you get a woman to do it. First it's the mother's job, then as the family ages it becomes the daughter's.

the idea of man as a leader, able to give directions and take charge if needed
Aw, that's so sweet.

Suraya on Nine to Noon this morning (streaming 9mins, MP3 3MB).
Oh thanks Sacha. Megan pointed me at that this morning, I meant to put it up.

Good gods, Alexei Sayle in army uniform looks like my eldest brother. More therapy, coming up...
