The kids didn't wake you? Amazing, you'd have thought that at least 1 of them would have.
Feeling much better for having somewhat caught up on the masses of sleep I've lost in the last 3 weeks, slept from 5pm to 5am.
Now I've got to go and do some food shopping. I've not adjusted to that really yet. I've gone hungry quite a few times recently because there's nothing in the fridge and I couldn't be bothered to go out and get something.

Indeed, well the very litle sleep i had. Got home at 2. Went to bed about 3, up at 7. Kids didnt even wake me up. They are still asleep :)

Hows you?

To me it just seems like a whole made up nonsense for telling people what they can and can't do.

Good morning Vee, sleep well?

I know what you mean.

I get an ear bashing because i like war films. People have always said, why watch them. Guys watch them films. Yeah maybe they do, but i do too! Apparantly im just meant to watch chick flicks :S

I think you may have hit the nail on the head with the whole thing. Maybe it's about affirming your own gender identity? Explains why I don't get it, I've never been bothered about identifying myself as anything other than me. I mean, I'm male but what does that actually mean, besides the obvious.

Seems to me that Al is just calling it 'Manly' to make himself feel better. Give it time and he wont care what he drinks. Manly or Girly! Mind you he makes a point of mentioning it alot and making a fuss about it. Maybe he secretly drinks the 'Girly' drinks :P

You can always rely on me to start an argument in an empty room.

You have much to learn about reading the question. I didn't ask what they were, I asked what qualifies them as such.

Now that does show your age :¬))

I must be the odd one out on here; I don't drink. Don't know why but it's something that's never bothered me.

And yes I do get some serious stick for it when my mates are all drinking and I'm sitting with my Irn-Bru.
