1) a lack of ownership. In men’s football you have your teams, club and country, which have been yours since childhood, you have no similar relationship to women’s football

2) it’s not as good. You understand more so you can see the gap in quality. In athletics or swimming, the race is just 10% slower, but it’s…[Read more]

In reply to - posted an update OK, troll hat half on, but what is it that makes women’s football, even at the elite level of the current WC, so bloody unwatchable?

And add to that the disgraceful cheating on the pitch, the bullying of the ref when decisions don’t go their way and the ridiculous earnings. Totally soulless at the moment (apart from the Leicester win) and frustrating to watch. It just feels as though the whole sport is without integrity from the top to the bottom which in…[Read more]

If that ran out she had to ask him to buy whatever she needed. Quite unbelievable.

I like people who are self directed, accountable and responsible.

I don’t respect or like bolshy, shouty, “me me me “, simpering, narcissistic, vacuous, untruthful, unkind or manipulative women. Same goes for men.

Man or woman, doesn’t matter. Its what one is as…[Read more]

If folk think these men were bad, they should try crossing paths in a factory with a predominantly women only assembly line etc..

@emma I have thanks, many times, from the age of 16 to 24 and managed not to get groped, harassed, cat-called, grabbed or intimidated once.

Does every real case of sexual harassment of women have to be compared to a…[Read more]

Given walking sticks by discharge nurse. When asked about returning them she was told that they don’t want them back, they are single use items.

I drove company vans around London in my younger days and took pride in my ability to park in tiny spaces without any assistance from people or gadgets. Never bashed one parking.
I’ve just spent a lot of money on a LWB VW campervan. The very first time I took it out of my driveway I backed into my wheelie bin and broke a…[Read more]
