    Ooops. I didn't mean it that way. I meant that you were handling the situation better than I was.

    I find if you lick the tips of your fingers it's very easy to open them bags. Any who back on topic, women can't do maths. Simple addition and subtraction, maybe but when you get to more complex things like fraction and multiplication their pretty little minds just give up and they start thinking of kittens and how moave towels would look lovely in the bathroom.

    Look lad just face it, it's a well know fact that men are just useless when it comes to numbers, for example look how many of you there are that think 4 inches is actually 7 inches :p:p

    Actually it's Kazobel and I've no bacon and am soon to have no sausage either but I'll happily give you a knuckle sandwich? I'm sure I could even muster up a loaf to go with it! :D

    In fairness, mauve doesn't really register with men so it doesn't matter how you spell it.

    If I was as petty as a woman, I'd start surveying every post PIP has ever written looking for spelling and grammar errors. But I'm a big manly man. So I'm gonna go eat some animal.

    I've made plenty I'm sure. Make sure the animal is dead before you eat it

    I forgot to add a ;) to the post you quoted. Stupid forgetful head. I've even forgotten my age before :(

    Hey, question- you have the right to bear arms in the states right? They have animals called bears. So did they get confused and give people weapons when really they should have big hairy arms with claws?

    I may not win any spelling bees but that doesn't matter when I'm nuking some country. Any ways, I may have been drunk or hungover when writing that. I can't remember but the fact I used the word mauve proves this.

    Mauve is a wonderful word but it's original context has been stolen.

    Go back to a time when purple was reserved for emperors and was the ultimate snob colour the natural dye was worth many times it's weight in Gold. No doubt some woman was burning a hole in Bill Perkin's ear with her incessant droning about it. So one day he'd just had enough and said "you want purple ? , I'll give you purple" and made it from the cheapest nastiest foulest thing he could find - coal tar.

    So it's not a wishy washy colour. It is the colour of a substance that a MAN made. It's one colour over which there is no ambiguity, there are no shades of Mauve it's just darker or lighter depending on how much dye is used, and represents our domination over natural variations.

    So when wimmins start talking bollix about colours remind them that all those fancy colours they are oh ing and ah ing about are because some bloke decided it would be a laugh to have them covering their cloths in coal tar and crude oil from now on.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauveine
    Mauveine, also known as aniline purple and Perkin's mauve, was the first synthetic organic dye.[1][2] The chemical name is 3-amino-2,±9-dimethyl-5-phenyl-7-(p-tolylamino)phenazinium acetate.

    Mauve is right down there with 'Gingham'.

    Time for a Man-Dictionary I think, one where we can streamline and purge such crypo-feminist rubbish from the lexicon.

    Mauve

    A mauve is a type of rodent.

    We had a terrible mauve problem last winter in our attic.
    We tried rat traps but they didn't work very well. We had to get an exterminator in to get rid of them fully.

    They like the warmth of the attic you see.
    Landlady paid for the exterminator though, so it worked out alright in the end.


    Here is a picture of a mauve
