    Just fixed that for you!

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    I think I've only ever been propositioned directly for sex by a straight woman once, and I'm reasonably sure she was a hooker. I have been groped, patted on the ***, and asked to go for coffee numerous times. One of my former co-workers guilty of all those things on several occasions, if I were a woman I would have filed a sexual harassment complaint.

    Yes, I suspect it's not all that rare, either.

    There's some irony in it somewhere.

    I used to watch that religiously. I thought the Goodies radio station was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen.

    That's probably good news! Mosquitoes don't bother me at all - I never get bitten, but my kids & Mrs Atheist get eaten alive by the little suckers, so they'd have to stay home!

    10,000 lakes? I'll bring my rods!

    I must admit, it is really difficult to pass a raised flag without saluting...I guess I spend too much time in military hospitals...

    I think one of the problems with the sexual harassment of men is that there are too many guys out there promoting the idea that guys, particularly between 18 and 35, are happy to jump on anybody who offer. In my experience, men are just as selective as women and even, occasionally, feign a headache

    How's this for Sabbatarianism gone wild ? Stornoway Golf Club in the Western Isles of Scotland have been granted a licence to sell alcohol on a Sunday after years of unsuccessful applications. Progress one might think, until it is pointed out that the members are not allowed to play golf on a Sunday. That should do wonders for the Hebridean tourist trade. Honestly, you couldn't make it up.

    Will the local chaps be telling their wives that they are off to the local course to "get a round in".

    It's so much more civilised than it used to be generally though. Just remember what it used to be like - no telly after 10.30, pubs shut all hours instead of open - everywhere shut on a sunday - bloody hell it was difficult to get a pint of milk until the Asian open all hours traders came and saved our hides - you couldn't get your money unless it was bank opening - frustration at every turn unless you happened to know a local for lock-ins.

    Yes, it's funny how fast things change and how quickly we forget.

    We used to actually have to think ahead more than six minutes and make sure we had enough bread, milk, booze and petrol to last until Monday morning.

    Just don't get me started on mobile phones!

    That's right. I can remember Mrs P saying that she didn't want one on the grounds that she didn't want to be reachable if she didn't feel like it.

    Yet now she texts like teen, and has conversations with a friend she hasn't seen yet for 20 years.

    Yes it used to be "meet by the clock at four".

    Now it's an instantaneous "where r u?"
