<removes towel from head as fears it might be concealing her female identity>
In the absence of BK, our official representative from the Office of Double Entendre, I feel compelled to point out that I am not prepared to have anybody rifling about in my pockets looking for a Brazilian anything.
Would also question the wisdom of using known arms dealers as Weapons Inspectors.
<apologises to to Geg for mistaking her gender and agrees that the towel did not help>
<decides to unapologise and try to get away with the old mankind rather than personkind ploy of suggesting that where gender is not the issue it is normal to use the masculine form to cover both male and female on the grounds that men get all huffy if it is wrong but women tend to just sigh and get on with it>
<decides that it is not worth the effort and so apologises anyway>
Which one is lost Bibby? the pink or the silver striped sock?
Mutters; not for first time, but it was a very, very pretty towel, my gender may not been an issue to you, how many times do I have to mention curtains....
Is distracted by BH's very, very, lovely stripey socks, chooses not to mention that they appear to not quite be a pair.
Comes up with brilliant plan of changing user name to Mrs Geg - wonders how to go about it......
