So what were saying here is females can be cold blooded killers when they want to be..........what a Revelation :)

"it seems likely that the origins of human technology were with females".

Rubbish. It's just that the male chimps send the women out to do the shopping.

Ahhhhhh...."A Chimps taken me Bush-Baby" as opposed to a "Dingo" in the 70's!

And the point you are trying to get across is?!

"It's hard to avoid the comparison with women the world over"... aye, whatever suits. Sometimes people are also expected to be monogamous like birds or ducks. Why not also, like some birds & ducks, shit all over the place & nibble on the grass growing outa the shit?

Man has ALWAYS been aware that the female is deadlier than the male. That's why we spent CENTURIES subjugating them and chaining them up and making them less than us proud hunter'getherer alpha-males.

Look at the lesser civilised countries. Misogyny is a almost a prerequisite for government.

What men have never appreciated (or are afraid of) is that women appear to work more co-operatively and generally do better when the males are out of sight.

My wife taught me all this the day after she allowed me to marry her.

Watch it, fellas! After yesterday's debate about domestic chores in the Scotsman you'll have the black clad harridans after you!
"But barely had he Maggie rallied, when oot the hellish legion sallied" (Burns - celebrated by women all over the world)

I'm not liking some of the looks I'm getting from my girlfriend every time I say no to somethng she suggests.

Could you older, more wise guys out there tell me if I should worry??

#10 Don't worry, trade her in for a new model.

It's only a matter of time before half a dozen countries are lining up to sell these chimps Kalashnikovs.

Eats, shoots, and leaves - that's where the commas go.

Scottweb, Guga - do you ever sleep - go to bed and read up on the things that you comment on - you cannot possibly be experts on everything. Your posts would be more intelligent if you read up on the subjects.

Take everything these dungaree-clad wimmin academics set out to try to prove with a pinch of salt.

So...Canky, what's the food like? Do you 'people watch' in wan o' those swanky Parisienne out door cafes? Do you wear sunglasses aw the time for the elegant, yet mysterious, look!!?? Have you had an affair wi a wee artist bloke?

Is Shuggie famous?

"A Glaswegian in Paris" - could be a new film!

Mental weegie kidnaps French Premier's mistress. Demands that the wearing of fur has to stop immediately. Car chases, suspenders, sex and cafes - could be a winner!!

Am a still yer agent?

10% of box office and DVD sales!!

Aye, a forgot about the Royal wifie - no bad looking tae!!! Are ye prepared tae dae nude sex scenes wi ither wumin? It'll be crucial tae the plot and will be tastefully done!! ;)

A'll be behind the camera HC!!! Tell Shuggie there'll be nae uphill gardening on the film set!!

So....Canky, hiv ye been on strike yet - blocking roads, rioting, burning Aberdeen Angus restuarants doon,etc....? Ye'll hae to become assimilated into the French way o' life!! Hairy airmpits, wiping yer erse wi yer bare haund, etc!! You and Shuggie must be daein' awright!?

So....Canky, Are ye Doreen, when yer back in Glesca and HC when in Paris?

#24 HC

#29 HC
A Talbot Samba? That's probably worse than the AA box- at least there was a phone in there! Were they no' how the car jokes started - like "Why do Skodas (or Sambas!!) have heated rear windscreens? To keep your hands warm when you're pushing them!
