  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I don't know Peter, but I hope it's on a Monday.

  When I was on the BBC website a little earlier I came across this one..
  
  "Actor Outhwaite on Charles Dickens".
  
  Its still there on one of the pages.
  This screams out to you that there are no such things as actors and actresses any more....they are all ACTORS. The headline refers to familiar face female Tamsin Outhwaite...but what was wrong with it the other way? What was wrong with the differential? I cant understand what was achieved.
  
  We might have to look at the prospect of ' international human day '...neutral sex zone applied.

  Steven Fry alluded to the actor/actress thing at the BAFTAs last night - said that actresses laid claim to the title Actor except at awards ceremonies where they were happy to be called "best actress"!!!!!!!
  
  Peter - every day is mans day!!Actually, I have attached a clip of Morgan Freeman talking about "Black History Day" which sums it up a bit for me.......

  She couldn't persuade the Jacobites to give up, so I'll doubt the patriarchy will take much notice.

  Apparently #InternationalWomensDay2022 has been extended into tomorrow as most of the participants were unable to get ready in time and missed the event.

  This is not a new thing Germany had a ladys day for many years when I was working out there in the1980s it was going then and on that day ladys could do anyhing they like ,take over the boss office for a day drinkwhat they like even at work, and on that day all men wore a tie because if a lady fancies you all she had to do was have a pr of scissors cut your tie in half and you had to -------any way I wore a tie like all the men and when we was all sitting at the bar at night a group of ladys came in and cut the ties of any man they fancied and I found my self sitting at the bar on my own,so what I done I went into the gents and cut my own tie in half and that is a very true story
