At long last ... our own day... our own thread...

I may partake in a gin and tonic ...


Come on chaps , what will you be doing to mark this illustrious day?

Well doing Mowvember firstly remember oldest sons friend who died of testicular cancer before he was 30 .
Next I remember I'm a man so sole purpose in life is carry anything heavy, repair anything broken and to be blamed for all that goes wrong.
I'm on holiday this week to deliberately celebrate by chucking my underwear all over the floor , getting drunk and thinking that the wardrobe is the toilet just so I can remember my faults for the other 364 days of year.
And smile as I know I did it deliberately.
Enjoy fellow blokes.

I’ll be at work, expecting to read or hear at some point how this is discriminatory and exclusionary.🙁

We've had a big noise made about it at work, pleased about that.

I've cooked pancakes for the girls (wife, daughter and MIL), my kitchen, my rules!

Working from home has been great to get back to doing most of the cooking. Mussels for lunch today.

Might have to treat myself to a beer this evening to raise a glass to all those that can't.
