Oh please say you explained to her why you blocked her!!!

She phoned me before I got a chance and asked if I had a problem with her constant posts on the Alexander technique...well, I just ignore those as being little more that the virtual equivilent of rabbit droppings (to continue the poo theme) but this one really was the last straw and actually putting it on my page was going too far. Apparently she thinks it is 'empowering' ...:eek:

Bit weird that she knew I had blocked her so fast as FB doesn't tell you when someone has blocked you...

Ah, the old Alexander technique...

I had a year of it as part of a music degree. 'Use proper technique, sit up straight, take breaks'. Apparently, it takes years of study to qualify a practitioner to give this advice!

Oh, in case I get into trouble on the 'no medical advice' rule, I'd like to state that I am in no way qualified as an AT practitioner, and did not intend it to come across as advice.

I do sit up straight though...

Me too but that is because I was taught to show jump at an early age.

Good posture makes me look intimidating. Or possibly it's the Iron Maiden tshirts.

I have awful posture

Working on it though

Ah, yoga.

Pilates for hippies!

I loved both I have to say, but yoga leaves you feeling nice and zen afterwards :cool:

Scrummaging used to do that for me.

I still miss it. I see my young lads playing and all I want to do is turn some unfortunate loose-head into a pretzel.

Is it a sport thing? Sounds a bit ..... 'fighty'...?

Within the constraints of the game, happily, no, it isn't.

Is it related to a scrimmage?

*googles*

Oh. It's like a rugby scrum. AKA mass man-hugging.

Only once..twice...twenty four times tops ...did I hug a mass of men but the IRB frown on that so in my case it was usually eight on eight women huggy time with added see who could shove the other side's shoulder blade down to their ankles.

*deep sigh* good times. very good times.

If your head is loose, you probably shouldn't engage in rugbyball.

The four looked like jihadis but stopped to buy a packet of sunflower seeds. People explained that the truly pious would not eat sunflower seeds because they take so long to shell - and the Prophet said not to waste time.

Maybe that's why they killed a blasphemer on their way to the shop.
It wasn't a wasted journey so, and the truly pious got to eat their sunflower seeds.

No No. The point is to try and loosen one's opponents head but only when they have rugbyball in their personal possession - otherwise it would be Merkan Futbawl.

Thought it was merkin? Hmm, that's not the region I tackled anyhow

I used to love being a number 15 titchy 5'5' lightweight looking like I was shivering in my shorts as the last line of defense against some 14 stone brick wall running towards me.......I've a great grasp of leverage though. Spatial-temporal reasoning is somewhat of a specialty of mine - maybe my only true skill

No, you're quite right - I just didn't get the american accentuation part till after I'd figured for "Merkin". Literal, and Spatial-temporal skills, waayhaay!

Ok, nope. I was rubbish at kicking, and not much better at catching I have to admit. Tackling though.....:D

I do wish the IRB would stop buggering around with the scrum laws though. Oh, and lose those tight jerseys. They really do make life impossible for a prop

What a huge steaming pile of bovine excrement.

A load of 'woman's role is to support her husband and kids with no thought for herself because that is how God made her' wrapped up in lovey dovey sentimental crap and this was put on my page by a fecking single lesbian with no kids who does exactly as she pleases*. WTF???

Do they not see how this is the kind of stuff that is used against any woman who wants a life of her own outside the 'hubby and kids' or indeed doesn't want the hubby and kids at all???

*Except if it pleases her to keep putting this ****e on my page as I have blocked her and deleted her 'message for the day'.

"You see my son," said God, "the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart

This part sounds very Islamic to me. As long as she is 'allowed' to show her beautiful eyes, she'll be fine.
Bollix.

But those jerseys are the only things that make rugby watchable for us non-sport watching girlies.
