Blokes, Birds 'n Bias
Thu, 28 Aug 2003, 11:58 amSchultzee! ... apologies for taking so much time getting back to you ... I was trying to get my shirts back from the bird who used to be my wife!
Now where was I? ThereÂ’s so much to reply to! Oh yes, as a matter of fact, we are talking of the same bonza sheila, who buggered off to the bar and never gave her mates in the downstairs Old Mill dungeon a thought!
I must also admit to being a bit perturbed at your instructions to Leah, re leg shaving, my understanding is that all the shavers have been sent to Johannesburg – some friend of Shane Warne’s?
Leah, who I hasten to add, I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, responded magnificently, rising indignantly to the bait … sorry, occasion. Thank you for the compliments, I searched long and hard for the right words and “bird” and “blokes” proved their worth. Her comment on the number of males vs females (I’m too terrified to use the terms blokes and birds) is interesting and perhaps reflects the generally accepted truism that currently males spend more time on the computer than females.
As for the stuff about who gives / owns more in marriages, I’ve no idea where that came from – sounds like a feminist divorce lawyer. I was a single dad for many years, who cooked, scrubbed, nursed, entertained and schooled the kids, as well as working full time, but it's irrelevant in this discussion.
Back to fun. Paul really has me worried, I’ve read through his definition of a bloke and find I’m a bit of a failure! I only drink wine, have no idea what sport is, although I think it may be a term of reference when calling out to someone. I haven’t got a ute, me dog went to that great cattle yard in the sky some seven years ago and none of my car comments are dodgy, all of them are heartfelt and usually accompanied by vigorous hand movements. As for metrosexual – hmm! I’m a bachelor living in the inner CBD.
HereÂ’s to irreverence, long may it exist.
Cheers

Re: Blokes, Birds 'n Bias
To be absolutely honest, being a failure at being a bloke ain't a bad thing. I take pride in the fact that I am not a BLOKE.

Re: Blokes, Birds 'n Bias
Jeff & Greg,
Be proud and hold your heads up high at being failures as "blokes"
Because I'm certainly doing my best to keep up the side and be a failure as a "poof"
Between the lot of us we can all redefine the gender/sexuality wastelands.
So, Leah, while we're all busy being failures in our own right, are you willing to join us? What are YOU going to be a failure at?
[Honestly, have you ever been a failure at ANYTHING before?]
Disclaimer: I wholeheartedly apologise to anybody I may have offended by using the 'P' word. I though it the appropriate word to use in a discussion about "Blokes" and other ockerish stereotypes.
Yours
Paul Treasure

Ummm....lemme think.....I can't bowl. I am a truely horrible tenpin bowler. The one time I tried there was nothing left of the alley but a smoking crater. Every person who witnessed the event has since been silenced...... I don't think I perform well in second hand shoes. And, before you say it Craig, I also cannot spell.
And I suppose being generally regarded as motivated, disciplined, arrogant, self absorbed, opinionated, tough, materialistic, insensitive, determined and aloof, I'm also a failure as a "female".
I agree with you Paul, I think there is a continuum of personality traits, from those regarded as "feminine" on one end to those regarded as "masculine" on the other. Where you fall in between has nothing to do with your sex and everything to do with your socialisation. The terms temselves could now be regarded as obsolete. I talk in generalisations to get the gags, but I'm a deconstructive post-modernist feminist at heart.
And I've seen the way you lovingly massage a bottle of champagne open Paul, the word "bloke" is not one that springs to mind when I think of you.

Well! If you wish to have that pleasure, and indeed if anyone does, come and see me, Tony Petani, Giovanni Bartuccio, David Goodall, Tom Rees, Patrick Spicer, Angela Trevithick, Andie Wafer and Clare Wilson in the Steven Lee directed, GRADS produced "Noises Off" at the Dolphin from the 10th of September!
Ironically enough I play the archetypal female stereotype, complete with blonde hair and Wonder Bra.

Re: Shameless Plug
Greetings Leah
As a marketing person, I have a wonderful appreciation of such tactics and I shall certainly avail myself of the opportunity to see the play. I only have two reservations - one is spelt Rees and the other is spelt Spicer. How come you're mixing with blokes like that?
Cheers

Or his complete loss of control, character AND lines when some smart-@$#& cameo decides to play the effeminate male waiter, complete with swivelling hips, fingers that glide up the arm and a quick kiss blown before making a exit stage left.
Playing opposite Paul that night was a moment I will never forget. ;-)

Ahh Partrick
Yes, an eternity of puppetry, but how intriguing it is to be human.
Now, we simply must do a version of Dracula. Don't worry about money, as I said to Jo, just tell me how much we need.
