Final cut. Music to slit your wrists to. ( Hence the name, presumably ).

Sell the story to Rolling Stone.

Whaddya expect?

There's money to be made.

yeah, ok

but what about the kids ?
would you leave me alone ?

[EternalOptimist]

If women knew what went on in mens minds they wouldn't come anywhere near us.

gingerjedi is right

how about this from The Final Cut-

And if I show you my dark side
will you still hold me tonight
and if I open my heart to you
and show you my weak side
what would you do

[gingerjedi]

So why did the rather attractive women just now hold the door open for me when I was still four or five yards from the door. No-one wants to see my boobs wobble.

Because she's naive enough to think we do it to be polite?

We only do it to see your boobs wobble.

Held a door open for a woman, she gave me some verbal. When she'd finished I said "I hold doors open for men as well, you sexist prat".

I once worked for a well known company who had a pre-op transexual working there. He couldn't stop himself from opening doors for ladies, which was quite charming but he never had the favour returned by the blokes. Not sure where I am going witrh this so I'll stop and nip over to the we hate Diestl thred and see how that is coming on.

The ambiguity in that has been bothering me for over an hour.

The others are still pot-noodling.

sometimes the willpower required not to post would be enough to bend a couple of dozen spoons into paperclips

I was tempted next time to let it bang in her face, but I'm not that vindictive.

You never heard any complaints from Mrs Aristotle did you ? No, they knew which side their bread was buttered those ancient Greek birds.
This conversation was recently translated from an ancient tablet -

Mrs Aristotle - 'Eee lass, you should have seen him last night. Hard as solid petra he was, like a acropolis he was, like a blooming Corinthian column. Had me over the bath he did, poor old Diogenes didnt know where to put his face.
Mrs Plato - 'ooo, sounds great. Thank the Gods we have lusty men to tell us our venal desires'
Mrs Socrates - 'Go men go yay. Tell us what to do'

Sappho wanders up - 'Hey girls. I gave this hoplite the finger this morning as I passed him in my chariot. Girly power eh ?'

sounds of screaming as the good ladies of Athens chuck Sappho over the cliffs into the sea.

Would that by Aristotle's first or second wife?

This is near the top of my list of pet hates, when you have to do that stupid TROT then thank them for it. Argh.

I don't mind men holding doors open as I hold doors open for people too, but what i do mind is some bloke right at the end of the corridor waiting and holding the door open for me. I find that a bit daft really.

One of the most difficult distances to judge is the distance beyond which you don't need to hold the door open for someone.

[Pogle]

I play safe and only hold the door open enough for them to squeeze by me.

Five step rule applies.

If they're not going to reach the door within 5 steps you shouldn't hold it open. Unless;
a) they're cute
b) they have bags etc
