    Perhaps at that time of the month we are actually at our most rational and aren't prepared to put up with the tulip that we irrationally tolerate for the rest of the month
    Are you on the blob? :-)

    I worked with a guy who suffered from depression based around the lunar cycle. And when he drank - which was often. Oddly, when not depressed, he was very funny. Funniest guy I ever worked with. He used to write for spitting image.

    We all suffer mood swings - even if not linked to a cycle of some sort.

    But this is general - so why bring logic into it?

    Surely giving gay people the right to suffer the same as everyone else isn't very nice

    Besides it's a trap so that S660 can apply to them too

    But if you were being rational, MS, you would recognise that many CUK posters only converse a with woman when their mum tells them to tidy their bedroom. Some confusion is inevitable.

    She's probably paid a fair whack of taxes over the years.
