I saw that about an hour ago and was surprised that we haven't heard anything of it.

Yes I was interested, I thought that someone may have moved it. But I don't think they did.

Love it how Alviro has done Firdose up like a kipper with those stats, even better when she cried sexual discrimination when Alviro didn't even imply anything of the sort.

nobody ever says anything bad on twitter to me

or facebook for that matter


of course there might be a reason for that, and it might be something those people who are being mistreated should be made aware of.

I keep getting messages on things advising me that '5 people have unfriended me!'

Oh no! :scared

whatever will I do?

I don't even know what unfriended means, although I suspect it is a facebooky type thingy, where people follow you or not as the case may be .....in which case.... good luck with that then! unfriending me will be very difficult.

:point

In fact..... while I'm on........

if somebody was trending near me, I'd probably be tempted to pass them a baby wipe

Though that could be Afrikaans for 'strong woman'.

I didnt read all of it but the link some posted did reference a comment about sticking to "clothes and food".... which is pretty sexist when aimed at a women sports journalist.

In fact what I did read made Alviro sound like a total *modded*... not that I expect someone with your board username to agree with me.

So retweeting something that said the writer could rather write about food and clothes, he becomes a sexist?
