We did! It was a couple of years ago when it had just opened. It really is a stunning piece of architecture. We head up to Scotland every October half term, really missed not being able to go this year.
Nice to hear. I’ve only been in the building once and that was to have a look when it first opened. There has yet to be something on which interests me. I’d love the Pink Floyd exhibition which showed in London to come. As it is it was Mary Quant exhibition just before covid forced closure.
Thats what the Wife said, she was sick for the duration of the pregnancy, she didn't enjoy any of it, the weight gain ( 5 stone extra) the horrific back pain, not being able to sleep on her front, I still say to her now you haven't experienced pain unless you have stood on a plug in the middle of the night ( obviously I get a rise)
So, you non-males, what should we call you from now on? Girls, women, females, ladies? Just let us know before we open our mouths and get it wrong. It'll be your fault from now if we do get it wrong.
To be honest the permenant exhibition was fairly average, its the building that's the star (and I imagine the food of course! The restaurant was booked up when we went)
Was talking about vomit, keep up!! My daughter would be 28 now, if she’d made it through that first day..
It's not what you call us as such, it's the putting down of someone because they are female and shouldn't have the temerity to commentate on a football match. And then getting all affronted if anyone pulls you up on it.[/QUOTE]
Really sorry to hear the Mr C. I can't even begin to imagine how hard that was at the time or how you go about trying to deal with that through the years
This. I thought the first post was a bit rude but could have just been clumsy and well meaning. The post that you just replied to though just doubles down on the rudeness and now I no longer think there can be any benefit of the doubt. Even if meant to be jokey, the tone is just all wrong.
In The One Show example there are two presenters, usually one male, one female. There's sometimes two female presenters though, so "that woman presenter" wouldn't help matters.
Yes but...would you have commented how good a male commentator was...or were you just surprised that a female commentator was.
[/QUOTE] Oh flipping eck. You have taken this all wrong ! I'm not affronted at all and I'm not saying a female (or whatever) shouldn't be on tv. If it had been the man presenter with the pronunciation problem I'd have said exactly the same about him. There used to be one on Praise or Grumble who did it and it wound me up terribly. I think it's bad news if we as a human race aren't allowed to differentiate without feeling guilty. We are all male or female, generally speaking, so why the need to get upset about it.
