isaac rosenberg Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Yeah. The picture doesn't prove anything, unfortunately. Please can people stop using the word "handbags" to describe ineffective violence ? This term is grossly sexist. If any of us used it to Nicola Adams, I am sure she could demonstrate physically how mistaken such a notion of the feminine capacity to inflict pain in fact is.

Isaac, isaac, isaac ...women do not need fists to inflict pain, just living with them can be painful...lol Asterix, Massive88 and isaac rosenberg 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaac rosenberg Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Just staying on topic, I see St Just are up at Illogan Thirds if and when we ever get to play the third round of the Junior Cup. On recent history, could be a tricky one, we conceded twice up there in the league. I might come down to run the line in that one now that CCFA are only providing referees....

The more a word is associated with a sub-cultural group, the more quickly it becomes archaic when the sub-culture's members age and become mainstream. For example, hip, groovy , jet-set, gaffer, park, goalie. No young person wants to talk like their Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
