The are banned from having a Barbie?

This is good - Barbie (and Ken) should be banned everywhere.

[Bazile]

Which ladies are you addressing this to ?

[ToraToraTora]

I quite like the not driving one though to be fair.

[DTCwordfan]

Have the ladies of AB planned a trip to Saudi Arabia?

[ummmm]

No, Talbot but give it a few years and all these laws will be implemented here. They'll be floggings in the local parks and market squares...

That article is not strictly true. You can try on clothes in shops. I have been in a mall where the top floor is a 'ladies floor' and you can walk around without wearing an abaya. You can also use the same entrance as men and that goes for supermarkets and hotels. You can also use gyms and pools in hotels - there are separate times for men and women altough I have heard about creepy men *** off in their hotel rooms that overlook the pool so I wouldn`t want to go there. Someone who was working with the police over there told me that a lot of women get their kids to drive them so you`ve got 8 year olds driving around and the authorities prefer that to women driving which shows how warped their society is.

As long as they're 8 year old boys I can't see the problem.

[retrocop]

The wives are 8 yrs old as well svejk. Allah allows it and set the precedent :-(

[Svejk]

Be fair, retro. She was 9 when he, ahem, you know.

[retrocop]

"The wives are 8 yrs old as well svejk. Allah allows it and set the precedent :-( "

eh !??...whats the president got to do with it ? :-;

'Not driving!' OY! You lot! Stats. show we are safer and I certainly have fewer accumulated faults over a lifetime than has Mr J2 (granted he once drove professionally and so knocked up more miles).

If it comes to pass I shall carry a knife under my compulsory robe and not be afraid to use it! :o)

Our charity shop sells old maps. Folding a map is an impossible task, it has to be delegated to a male. Women have better things to do with their time.

OK (2nd attempt at an answer). Listen, darling boys, I happen to be the exception to the rule and am very, very good at map-reading. You can ask Mr. J2 - he's on here under another name, but doesn't visit very often. He refers to me as his very personal Tom-Tom. (I love donkeys by the way, retrocop, and can find the grazing :)x )

I put it down to good GCE Geography teaching - JMB. 25% of the paper was down to answering questions based on a bit of an unseen Ordnance Survey map. I would'nt have a Sat-Nav. at any price.

Younger daughter tried to visit us on Sat., she abandoned the A64 because of traffic and got lost in the maze of little roads. She was constantly ringing me and saying she had passed a signpost to ' wherever'. I looked up her whereabouts on the map and guided her here. The Sat-nav was trying to take her about a 20 mile detour!
