[Rab]That stuff has been around for years! Which probably explains the name. Can you see a new product coming out with a name like that? At least you can't have any doubts about what it's for.

[snorgle] Although, oddly, its makers do, referring euphemistically to "feminine itching". That sounds to me like some sort of marital complaint.

[Dan] Oh well, it's probably been overhauled and turned into vertical drinking bar now. Not sure which I prefer really.

[feminine itch] What does this sentence mean: "Every woman shares in the dilemma of those nagging feminine problems."?

(Projoy) Quite. What dilemma? But I can't see much wrong with the product name. It's certainly not in the same league as Anusol. *(creases up)*

[Projoy] I don't care what the sentence means, but I loathe the use of those "those" words in advertising and journalism.

[Phil] You've got to admit, it would be worse with "them" instead.

[Darren] As a Geordie (originally), I think "them" would be much more fun.

Shouldn't it be 'they', to aim at the Glaswegian market?

Next from their range of products is Lipusol for "Every man shares in the dilema of those nagging feminine problems". *scarpers quickly to the shed*

[INJ] Indeed, for the cowboy market, it should be "them thar"

If you wanted to be really misogynistic, how about "you" instead?

[Phil] Cowboys have nagging feminine problems?

You've not seen Brokeback Mountain? Actually, I haven't, so I've no idea if that joke works or not

[Nea] They became cowboys to escape problems with nagging females. (Mine's the storm cape and stetson hanging by the door, thanks.)

[INJ]You'll be in trouble now, I hope you have better blast doors on your shed than I did.
Should you not be needing that cape later , if it could be passed over here with a pair of size wellies as the grey storm clouds in the sky over the Brunel Tower, the car park is already flooded.

Finally after all this time reached I have managed to become Top Trader at Celebdaq. The only thing being had to use my BBC login of Cleddau, it is on the banks of that fair waterway that I was raised.

[Inkspot] Ah - that's what you look like!

[Inkers] You credited evil_edna! I'm touched, and you have attained a higher ranking than I ever did - my best was No. 4, by accident, once. *Blushes* You have learned well, glasshopper.

Found out today that I didn't get the new job I'd gone for, but, hey - new car and new flat - two out of three's not bad!

Commiserations once, and congrats twice then, Uncle K.

[Phil] Ta! Of course, the new job would have helped to pay for the other two...

[UK] How did the play go? Bad luck about the job, sure there's another (and hopefully better) one waiting for you.

Which reminds me - congrats to Nadia, and thanks for the cheque.

[Lib] Play went astonishingly well, as it happens... no major cock-ups anywhere, and I managed to learn all of my lines in time for the opening night (which helps)! Still a little puzzled about the job, as I felt I gave a cracking interview, I fulfilled the criteria, and I'm a redeployment case, so I get preferential treatment (supposedly). I'm going to take them up on their offer of a feedback interview - I'm hoping that it's because they decided to employ two people who were excellent, rather than not employing me because I was crap.

[UK] Congrats. And the right job will come up at the right time :o)
In other news, I have resumed salsa dancing after a 7 week break during the summer, and I'm pleased to report I haven't lost my mojo. The plan is to do it at least twice a week, sometimes three times a week over the winter. I may need encouragement. I most certainly will need new black leather dancing shoes, as my pale suede ones just look odd in the winter :o)
