Dear Examinator,

It's not easy to overcome a serious
internet addiction...(sigh)! :-)

Getting back to the topic...

When we were younger, I often used to go out drinking with my wife and her friends. Without fail, one of them would "forget" her money and keycard and it would just be assumed that her friends would shout her all night. I could never imagine men doing that for our mates.

When I was in uni, it was common knowledge that many female students were getting hold of their friend's assignments, editing them and handing them in. Most of the men that I knew wouldn't dream handing over all of our work to a friend.

It is nice that women are so caring, but it must be draining to have so much expected of them.

St G after my early am late PM visit to Sydney yesterday I am happy if they are only dumping in the next cubical.
Men are just as bad said that, but still some little Princesses go a bit far.
Sydney cab driver yesterday, my offsider has Parkinson's, is well over 50, not walking well.
I grabbed a cab for 15 minute walk.
Way over, great Indian driver, cracked jokes laughed charged 8 bucks got a 2 buck tip and thanks mate.
Way back? 9 hours of public service talk,, warn out,, Aussie cab driver.
Bloody cab for 2 blocks he said!
Ace it up mate just drive a very cranky me said ,not wanting a blue in my work shirt.
As my old mate left the cab,5 bucks no [ I had ten bucks in my hand as I hailed him intending to give it to him as I got out] tip the idiot shouted abuse about not working in an iron lung at him.
You will not find a ruder bloke than him, just maybe lucky too we just wanted to start our long trip home more than make a scene.

Tips for cabbies, isn't that opposed by the union movement keen to ensure that workers are paid their due? For most, if you really want to give a tip, mention soap.

Sad to say but the only time I find a cabbie funny is when one is 'caged' by two council buses in a bus zone. Got to love poetic justice.

Who made this stupid rule anyway. If I have to lift the lid & seat, then they can damm well put it down.

I was out swimming in a creek long ago. when I needed to pee. One of the women said, "I bet you can't pee over that fence. It wasn't that high so I said, "I bet I could, but you can't" She took me on & did. When it was my turn I pointed Percy to the sky & she said, "uh ha!. No hands." So all I got was wet feet. She won.
