Women in work
I have to admire one in particular. This one started work at 0730 this morning. She's just phoned me at 2145 to say that she will be working till at least 2245. Who is this saint you ask?
My wife.
She has the old fashioned work ethos that the job must be done whatever it takes.
She brought up our three kids and when they were old enough and whilst they were school, she went part time, back to work.
Later she went full time and having proved that she had the work ethic was head hunted into a technical offshoot of the parent company.
Many, has been the time, that at short notice she has had to travel abroad for extended periods. India, Hong Kong, Luxemburg, Dublin, to name a few.
How many of the new age would do the same?
Where are they?
If all those Parliamentary candidates want my vote. Where have they got to?
In all the time I've lived at this address I've never seen any of the scum candidates.
The Jehovah's witnesses have been more prevalent.
(I'll probably wish I hadn't posted this. They'll probably be round in packs tommorrow).
Remember "Boobquake"?
The "Blag Hag" defends her feminism here.
I especially liked the ending.
I'm not upset. I know that whatever you say, someone, somewhere will be offended. If the cleric had said eating pork caused earthquakes, and I suggested Baconquake, I'd probably be getting nasty emails from vegans or PETA. If the cleric had said drinking alcohol caused earthquakes, and I suggested Beerquake, I'd probably be getting nasty emails from teetotalers. But if I lived my whole life in constant fear of pissing someone off, I would stay silent and accomplish nothing. And what good is that?
Food for thought?
Serious UPDATE well worth the read. The Muslim response. This is seriously going to upset the clerics.
Oh. So that's why.
WHY ARE ELECTIONS HELD ON THURSDAYS?
They do not have to be - it is just a convention. One theory about its origins is that people were not paid until Fridays and so holding polls on Thursdays ensured they were not too drunk to vote. The Electoral Commission has recommended trials of weekend voting as a way of improving turnout.
Mmmm

Gordon needs to put down that shovel.
He can't seem to stop digging the hole he's in, deeper.
Gordon Brown has insisted he branded a pensioner a "bigot" because he thought she had called for all foreign students to be kicked out of Britain.
It seems he's now resorting to the "Lets smeer the other side", tactics.
Remember the bullygate affair?
Voting fraud rears it's ugly head again.
I'm sure we all remember the scandals concerning postal votes at the last general election. Well it looks like it hasn't gone away.
POLICE are examining a series of claims of serious electoral fraud across London.
That's good then.
Well no.
Scotland Yard confirmed it is examining a number of complaints from residents and political groups in the borough. On a wider scale, police are looking at claims of electoral fraud in 12 boroughs but have yet to launch any criminal inquiries.
I suspect they'll get round to it in time for the 2015 election.
