Why Vegetarians should be Force-Fed Lard... Don't flame me! Mind you, I thought it was funny... It's quite long though.

A huge Congratulations! to clothilde and smorgasbord on their great news.

Met my colleague's 3-week-old baby, Fleur, this lunchtime. She's very, very cute. And if anyone knows of any jobs going in the Doncaster / Sheffield area for teaching French / German / Spanish / English (high school through to A2 level), please let me know so I can let Fleur's mum know.

Almost finished off sorting out my dressmaking portfolio last night. Just need more of those plastic wallets to put in my lever arch file, and I'll be sorted. So of course what did I forget on my whip round bits of Sheffield this lunchtime? Feh.

Went to the gym yesterday and this morning (despite only 5 hours sleep). Must go again tomorrow.

Finished off the baby blanket for Fleur; it looks great. Haven't got any more writing done - must get Tardis. Off to see New Statesman tonight. Yay! Next week - sleep! ;-)

Grr!

In Britain, a person is doubly likely to suffer from vegetarianism if he is female.

This written with no apparent sense of irony.

Part of the reason for this is that women like the taste of meat less than men. This stems from the fact that women have inherited the instincts of gatherers and men those of hunters. In all hunter-gatherer societies today, however, women prize meat. They love meat, just not quite as much as men do. The greater reason, I believe, is that women use vegetarianism to test men. By requiring men to deny themselves pleasure, they test the resolve of the men, and their loyalty

Oh ffs!

With regard to the former, I read it with a big grin. And with regard to the latter - I've seen that happen. Really. And I've seen the men involved be committed to vegetarianism, to the relationship - apart from when the woman isn't immediately around (as in being physically present at that moment in time, not as in having left, being away for a week, whatever). At which point they have burgers and, eventually, sleep with other women, it turns out. So you know, it could be argued that it's actually a good test of character, now I think about it... Meh.

Dunno - I used to go out with someone who became vegetarian while he was with me, even though I didn't ask him to or particularly care whether he did. Then he went back to eating meat when we split up as though I had somehow made him stop in the first place. It's a wierd definition of loyalty.
