I work with a bloke who is an absolute dinosaur in his attitudes to women. He'll often comment that women really love it, they use it get ahead in life, it's all harmless fun, etc., etc. If I ever want to shut him up and see double standards at work, I just ask him how he would feel if that person committed that act on his daughter. It's funny how his opinion of it suddenly changes....

I have a colleague with enormous funbags, who uses them to torture geezers like that in the work environment. Makes it obvious she knows they are looking, then they pretend not to look, they end up staring at the ceiling.

I think she picks her victims wisely, I don't think she's getting murdered on the way home.

I see it loads in the corporate world, the very attractive ladies with good figures who dress provocatively usually get promoted more, but personally I don't want them in my office if that's how they roll.

I've sent ladies home for dressing inappropriately for an office environment.

Photos?

Oh yes I agree - it's distracting for all sorts of reasons. I had another colleague who was gorgeous and made the most of it - it wound up her female colleagues far more than any unrest from blokes leering.

However in this instance she was doing it to punish a geezer who was being a bit of a twat, and it was actually quite funny to see his discomfort.

I used to love not helping the fit secretary at work, which sounds well harsh

She was pretty capable at many things TBF, but she had a proper 'learned helplessness' thing going on in many fields, she could just flutter her eyelashes and get a man to do something she didn't know how to or want to do.

Fortunately I could see she was attractive on paper but for one reason or another she just didn't "do anything" for me, so I of course could see straight through her (attempted) charms.

T'was actually quite funny watching her deflate when i made her so stuff (which was quite reasonably her job to do) herself.

Here is Vicky Flind's statment in full:

"In light of the recent reporting regarding the 'BBC Presenter' I am making this statement on behalf of my husband Huw Edwards, after what have been five extremely difficult days for our family.

"I am doing this primarily out of concern for his mental well-being and to protect our children.

"Huw is suffering from serious mental health issues. As is well documented, he has been treated for severe depression in recent years.

"The events of the last few days have greatly worsened matters, he has suffered another serious episode and is now receiving in-patient hospital care where he'll stay for the foreseeable future.

"Once well enough to do so, he intends to respond to the stories that have been published.

"To be clear Huw was first told that there were allegations being made against him last Thursday.

"In the circumstances and given Huw's condition I would like to ask that the privacy of my family and everyone else caught up in these upsetting events is respected.

"I know that Huw is deeply sorry that so many colleagues have been impacted by the recent media speculation. We hope this statement will bring that to an end."

So after being found out by the press (and conveniently shopped by his wife as having mental health issues) Huw Edwards has had a breakdown (and voluntarily committed himself?) which is a convenient get out strategy to get him off the liability hook. Forgive me if I don't believe this garbage about this sleezeball. Another dodgy BBC ducker and diver. Wonder what other dodgy stuff Edwards has been up to over the years?

In ancient Greece (469 - 399 BC), Socrates was widely lauded for his wisdom.
One day an acquaintance ran up to him excitedly and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about Diogenes?"
"Wait a moment," Socrates replied, "Before you tell me I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

'Triple filter?" asked the acquaintance."That's right," Socrates continued, "Before you talk to me about Diogenes let's take a moment to filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?" "No," the man said, "Actually I just heard about it."

"All right," said Socrates, "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about Diogenes something good?"
"No, on the contrary..."

"So," Socrates continued, "You want to tell me something about Diogenes that may be bad, even though you're not certain it's true?" The man shrugged, a little embarrassed.

Socrates continued, "You may still pass the test though, because there is a third filter, the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about Diogenes going to be useful to me?"
"No, not really."

"Well," concluded Socrates, "If what you want to tell me is neither True nor Good nor even useful, why tell it to me or anyone at all?"

The man was bewildered and ashamed. This is an example of why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem.

I told the girls at work it was Vernon Kay. Two of them said I bet it is, he has form for sexting etc. Within minutes they had all concluded he was a seedy bastard and all manner of bad things were wished upon him. No one asked me to qualify my statement. The rumour mill is a vicious, advancing machine!

I feel sorry for Eamonn Homes. Always did get the two of them confused...

You just came out.

Who’s got the hat?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Pfft maybe, but at least I never got duped into emptying the coffee grounds from the machine because she couldn't read the instructions!

This sort of behaviour from women has always peeved me somewhat. There are times that I need to ask for help, often at trackdays when I was there on my own with a bike in a van - could happily put the bike back in, but getting it out solo I lacked confidence.
I've never asked anyone to actually get the bike out, just to stand at the back to help if I/the bike had a wobble! But I'd ask as a relatively normal human, not play feeble girlie with big tits card!! Ok, often someone or a couple of someones would just get the bike out as they thought it was easier/more helpful - but hopefully never because they thought I was playing the pathetic girlie card!!!

Admittedly I was brought up by a man hating feminist (but one that could also flutter her eyelashes when she felt the need ) - but I learnt mostly that if I could I should, but if I needed help, it was ok to ask; although the second bit I learnt without the help of the man hater!! LOL

I gave a lift to another girl to a TD once and she stood being feek and weable whilst me and another girl (who wasn't doing the TD and also was in 6inch heels!) loaded her bike on the trailer and off at the other end etc. I did suggest she at least helped with strapping the bike down but she wasn't keen

If that wound me up, then I can imagine it winds up men far more (unless they can't see past the tits and being a 'hero'!!)

Epoxy isn't that bad and hands aren't that delicate. It will easily wash off.

The poster is probably thinking about that schoolgirl who stuck her hands into plaster of Paris. The exothermic reaction cooked her hands.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah it does sound like bollox. You might have to walk around with some dusty hands for a bit, but the top layer of skin isn't that well stuck on to the rest of you "by design".

So, if you ever get approached by Cynthia Plaster Caster, I suggest you run (while you can ).
