Don't do that to me when I'm pouring a drink!<BR/><BR/>But the 'walk to station/first taxi' thing is just rational; a bloke is more likely to get attacked, but the severity of attack is likely to be much lower, ergo you get to go home safe first.<BR/><BR/>But bed or floor isn't a safety thing, so health/whatever takes consideration as well.MatGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821264556751176639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1144191599477328302006-04-04T23:59:00.000+01:002006-04-04T23:59:00.000+01:00I know, I know.

But just as most of the blokes I know would always offer to walk me to the station or let me get the first taxi that pulled up, they'd also offer me first dibs on the bed.<BR/><BR/>Love the idea of Condi and Jack Straw in bed together, though, for some reason it reminds me of Bert and Ernie, even if they did have twin beds.Katy Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623177126862869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1144187045453889072006-04-04T22:44:00.000+01:002006-04-04T22:44:00.000+01:00I tend to make decisions based on circumstance; so...I tend to make decisions based on circumstance; sometimes my back is bad, etc, but normally?<BR/><BR/>What happened to gender equality and making the right decision at the time? Or, alternately, sleep in the same bed; not something a politician could likely get away with, especially if small, but I've no problem with sharing a bed with someone I'm not sleeping with.MatGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821264556751176639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1144177308403326532006-04-04T20:01:00.001+01:002006-04-04T20:01:00.001+01:00(it's not that I like her politics, more that none...(it's not that I like her politics, more that none of the blokes I know would dream of taking the bed and leaving the girl to sleep on the floor)Katy Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623177126862869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1144177261206595102006-04-04T20:01:00.000+01:002006-04-04T20:01:00.000+01:00Apparently Jack Straw took the bed on their jet an...Apparently Jack Straw took the bed on their jet and made her sleep on the floor.

Although I suspect she'll get VP nomination for whoever is main candidate.<BR/><BR/>She's undoubtedly smart and capable. Unfortunately, prone to being used, especially over Katrina. Disagree with her fundamentally on issues, but at least I know that already.MatGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02821264556751176639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17312454.post-1144095590528122332006-04-03T21:19:00.000+01:002006-04-03T21:19:00.000+01:00I LOVE CONDI and I'm not ashamed to say it!I would...<B>I LOVE CONDI </B><BR/>and I'm not ashamed to say it!<BR/><BR/>I would have been up there in Blackburn if I'd known well enough in advance that she'd be there, and I could have gotten a bus-load of Pro-Condi demonstrators too.<BR/><BR/>I did not support the war in Iraq, I also think the US's reasons were dubious and at best made on some gross mis-calculations.<BR/><BR/>That aside, I cannot fault her character. She is charming, professional, articulate, highly intelligent (can you say any of this for GWB?).<BR/><BR/>She is a poster-child for every black person who cannot run, dance or sing and has been told that there's no other way to achieve the highest ranks in their career.<BR/><BR/>She also has a gap in her teeth, What's not to like?<BR/><BR/>HATERS LEAVE CONDI ALONE. :p<BR/><BR/>p.s My endorsement of Condi for 2008 is not an endorsement of the Reupublican party. I would be quite happy if she stood as an independent :-)Biodunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683085652044953165noreply@blogger.com
