So today is the big one for international woman. What exactly is an international woman?

Using the 'Intercity' train as a guide it is a woman who goes between two countries.


Due to cowardice I refuse to take this line of thought further. I shall leave it up to others.

Possibly a lady stuck in the middle of the Channel Tunnel?

Not many Natalies in Beijing. How about ladies of the night? The same in any currency I think.

No,no, you naughty girl. How many times have I told not to confuse Natalies with bicycles otherwise known as ladies of the night.

Natalies have broad bases and random wheels. They have no illumination at all. Nothing shines on them. They are not bicycles of the night.

Isabels tinkle and twinkle but are so unnecessary.

Is it like the old song: 'I saw Isabel in her dishabille....'*


* If you know the song it's OK. I won't tell anybody.

If you don't know the song then 'dishabille' is pronounced 'disabel'.

It dates back to World War2, and I don't care if I mention the War.


**Edited coz I have not got my specs with me

and I'm typing by guess and by God.
