    It was a joke, like the (true) Evelyn Waugh anecdote, but obviously you're only in the mood for very serious discussion today

    Breast feeding - the very idea used to make me feel a little ill..... but then I saw my mate do it and she got such maternal satisfaction (odd phrase) from it.... she didn't do it for long... maybe 4 weeks, but she doesn't regret it.

    Perhaps if she wants to keep her breasts that perfect, she should choose not to have babies.

    Not a nym, not a word, not an acronym and there's no eom greek or latin suffix, it's a new abbreviation - a neobrevism.

    Although I'm not entirely happy with ism

    I know they do push this a lot but kind of her own fault in some ways to allow herself to be bullied into it. It's not compulsory.

    Apparently author Evelyn Waugh was left a message on his answerphone asking if he'd like to lecture some students on breast feeding.

    He eagerly accepted, and after the lecture their teacher congratulated him "Great lecture, Mr Waugh, although you didn't seem to go into much detail about Press Freedom .. "
