It's time for the first post of the week comp of 2007 :yippe:
I've already had one nomination - January Sales Bargains
Kangoo again
What other posts have caught your attention? If no-one else nominates anything from the making an ass of yourself thread then I'm sure I will

But do you know what annoyed me the most about the sales this year? Was it the long queues? No. The rude women elbowing you out the way to grab the best bargain first? No (well a little bit). The thing that pissed me off the most was the fucking men! Or more accuratly the women that had dragged them there. I could hardly get to the clothes racks in topshop for the bored men traipsing after their partners, arms full with sale bargains. I couldn't move for the fuckers. The poor things didn't know where to stand, everywhere they went they were in the way. They don't want to be there. WE don't want them to be there. Sales time is for women. For the love of god just leave the men at home!

'i fell over and fell into some dog shit' It just makes me laugh every time i read it
Indeed. Men go sales shopping to. :grump: Except for us its more like:
1. In.
2. See clothes.
3. Buy Clothes.
4. Out.
None of this faffing about trying on things we wont buy!
Can't make a perfectly valid comment about men now without being fingered as a sexist pig. Bloody Nora, nowt like whinging on like a bunch of women*
*that was ironic sexism for those who might now need to wring out their knickers
Anyway this made me laugh

And that stripy hobag's one!
Where is KHSS from?
Oh and Kangoo, it's actually two weeks as yours went up just before Chrimbo - you lucky thing!
I read that as sexiest, and thought 'well, whatever floats your boat'.
same here, heh...
I read it like that too, i thought he was being sarcastic, and i still did think it said that until you just pointed it out and i re read it
:yes: Exactly
But to be controversial:
If we play with some words:
Sales time = The workplace.
Men = women.
But I didn't necessarily see it as sexist, just like to stir things up a bit :angel:
It's mountains of molehills, but anyone with two brain cells to spark off each other could tell she was talking about surplus-to-requirement men spaffing around in women's shops or other places they clearly didn't belong or want to be. Come on fellas and strap on a pair, surely you weren't all deeply wounded by the little rant... were you?
ANYWAY.
Not at all. I cerainly wouldn't use that workplace comparison!
I'd say men at the shops with their girlfriends is a little like girls at football with their boyfriends. That's a more harmless comparison.
Like I said, I wanted to be controversial. This isn't the thread really. I said the workplace because I thought it would be the thing that would get people most inflamed .
lol, I did that as well actually
