About as close to decent topography as your gonna get here in ON.

Either way I dont care I get paid by the KM
Ah yes, I often take those roads if I'm working downtown. Sometimes I stay on Airport Road past the museum where the OH works and turn left at Mansfield, that road has some exciting bends on it.

That's more like it, fellas.

A nice shift from inviting each other round to your house while the OH is away, to safer manly ground like chatting about the best directions or routes to take. A gentle nudge into gas mileages will see you firmly back into appropriate man-talk.

More manly yet than that, I was in the coolest shop evah yesterday.

Nuts Plus, it's called and they don't just sell nuts but bolts, chains, cutting equipment, sockets, spanners, it's a kind of paradise. I felt my testosterone level soar and half regretted having gone their in the pastel New Beetle. As I left I cast aside the content of the dashboard flower vase.

Not exactly a role-model yet, but it's refreshing to see on the bbc's website this morning that a plus-size model (mind you, size 16 is hardly plus-size in the real world, but I suppose it is in the rarefied world of modelling) has made the finals of Miss England.

Monroe was a 16.

yes, but that was pre-Shrimpton and Twiggy. The whole stick-thin model thing really started in the late 60s with Jean Shrimpton - "iconic" women before then typically had a little more substance to them. It's long past time for a revival of the fuller figure as fashion icon, IMHO.

Few women would disagree with you.
