There's a pub round the corner from me which I keep meaning to photograph.
The landlord is very "Oi for England", and has a huge chalk board on the
outside wall on which he writes gung ho nationalist sentiments among the
adverts for his beers. At the moment it says "What we need is an English

I think women have the advantage of a better defined sex role, and a

the male role nowadays is mostly defined by what women want it to be, 
or by a futile resistance against change called for by the changing 
female role. I think this holds a good potential for humour, even as a

Well, whatever sort of dig it was, it was NOT racist (I am

Truth in labelling might be a good idea, but it isn't realistic.

"Racist" just happens to be the label applied to stereotyping

There have been several recent unpleasant incidents in Australia

You can bet that they weren't being insulted by being called

What you are missing here, though, is the British tradition of Pantomime
(and, for even earlier examples, both Mummers and Morris), where there is
always a strong comedy lead played as a cross-dressed 'female'.

I can assure you, having lived in both societies, that the Americans are
far, *far* more uptight about sex than even the most represssed of Brits.

Can you imagine a US national newspaper publisher even considering for
an instant publishing a topless photograph of a woman?  Yet for many
years that has been a regular feature of the Sun - so long, in fact,
that when Murdoch's publishing group (which owns the Sun) purchased
the Times newspaper group Fison's agricultural products took the
opportunity to take out a full-page advertisement on page three of
the first issue of the Times under the new management (page three
is where the Sun pictures appear: see "page three girl" for details).
The advertisement featured a topless woman - the Venus de Milo.

Me too.
If high heels and hose are involved, it's not only "unfunny," it's

Do you really intend to tell me I read like ten or fifteen posts that 
referenced CHAINSAWS, and CANADA and not ONE of you had even the 
slightest inkling to bring up the "Lumberjack Song"???


Really...it's unacceptable coming from you lot.


The Lumberjack song is a British thing.
