Oh dear this appears to have back fired on me a little, I'll be more careful not to cause upset so easily in future. I admit I am surprised by how seriously offended some of the folk are, is this really how you see the feminist mind as working? To clarify lions, like most members of the Animalia kingdom, lack the pre-frontal lobes of their human counterparts and are subsequently devoid of the area of the brain responsible for the consciousness of 'self'. Thus to impose notions of good & evil on lions of either sex is both wrong & silly and I am heartily ashamed. Blondes are prudent Essex girls are chaste Craig David fans have legitimate taste and yes it is my time of the month!! To change the subject I just watched 'Withnail and I', I'd taken the title for its phoenetic(*) face-value and it took me a while to adapt but I'm now going around shouting 'SCRUBBERS!!' to anyone who'd care not to be insulted. Jules Markham was Marwood the name of the other guy? (*) Cheers to Will for remembering the word for me. Someone should invent a backwards dictionary so instead of finding a word & learning its meaning you give a vague kind of description as I did "what is long word which means to be spelt as it sounds, think it starts with p?" & boom! well boom second time 'cause the first answer was onomatopaeic. Not much else going on in my life at present. My jasmine plant has been bamboozled by global warming into thinking it's mid-May and has started making flowers. Only two have opened so far and there's already a heady perfume in the air, eight more are on the way and in a couple of days my room'll only be accessible with a gas mask thanks to nature's equivalent to mustard gas. Either it's gonna go outside which'll probably kill it what with it being Winter 'n' all or there'll be some brutal fleur decapitations at 3 in the morning when I can take no more. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
