They really suck the life out of everything. I should ignore them but can't - its like picking at a scab. I recommend steering clear for a few days after we fail to win a game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree if we lived in a society where women were repressed and forced to cover up but in the UK if a woman wants to go to the swimming pool or beach in a bikini they are perfectly entitled to. They are entitled to walk round city street in skimpy tops on hot days, go to festivals and clubs in not much more in fact less than a sports bra top. Maybe entirely because of what you’ve written in your second paragraph? Societal/male gaze expects women to ‘walk around city streets in skimpy tops’ whereas a sports bra is actually comfortable and practical for them to achieve their full potential in their field of excellence. Would be my take on it but could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit I never knew it was being referred to as empowering. It just felt like a nice moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancvillan Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don't get why some words are so pleasing to say. It's the reason I've always wanted to be able to tell a story about "my friend from Marrakesh" or the time "I had coffee with Alan Yentob". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My wife complains when I use a steak knife to cut a slice of salami. Apparently bits of meat are caught up in the serrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best results for slicing cured meats like salami are obtained from using a very sharp non-serrated kitchen knife anyway 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are doze steak knives in the draw, and to be honest they work just fine. The cheap serrated knives are fit for purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
