Ha Ha Shabby!
I used to be married and I have two (grown up) daughters not to mention two sisters. I know how easy it is to suffer foot in mouth syndrome hence no actual gossip.
Male gossip is called "banter" in the UK - when a man (politician, football manager etc) is caught using racist,sexist or homophobic language he invariably tries to pass it off as "banter" When asked to deconstruct said "banter" he will struggle and accuse the questioner of being humourless and from the "PC brigade" He will then end the interview
Glad you're well Shabby - I saw your country's rugby team near Tower Bridge on the TV. They are a big deal - lots of media commitments

I got my new Pet Rat , cage , food , shavings all the fixings . Almost looks like she has a Hood on her head ( colored black ) her sides are white , but the unusual mark is a black steak down her back to her tail . Kind of like a skunk only opposite.
Still racking my brain on a name .

Nesty - only skunk name I can think of is Pepe le Pew. Wrong gender again
Change of subject - Pepe le Pew, Speedy Gonzales etc not allowed to be shown on british telly any more - racial stereotyping. I won't miss Speedy but I kinda liked smelly old Pepe

Yes, we saw them on the news last night mixing with the English :-)
That's funny. I think you are wise to be reticent. You never know when you might scare one of us jumpy little fillies, and end up getting a short swift kick :-)
Oh god, yeah, that's annoying. It's like men have arguments but women have 'cat fights'. You may have heard (apparently, it made international news which is acutely embarrassing), our prime minister, John Key, was had up recently for pulling a waitress's pony tail several times. She didn't like it, naturally. He came up with a similar defense. Hey, not sexist...just a bit of fun, don't be so humourless etc....uh huh. At the very least it shows poor judgement. He's a bit of an infant.

Yes sao That would have been cute too Loved Pepe La Pew . I know I think it's going to be hard to get a good girls name . Takes me awhile to pick one out to fit with any of my pets though . I keep calling her a him anyways . In the end it may not matter . Don't think she will care
