If he's that happy without medication, he should get a time from a

Yup, break out the Dried Frog Pills. Also, a suitably large dose of

   You know when we met in London? Well, when you went home, I was still in 
the pub with John, and then he left to go to the lav. The Polish girl, (or 
whatever nationality she was), came over to clear some glasses. I asked her 
what she thought of you. She gave you a 7 too but waved her hand as though 
undecided.

     Now go and open up a bebo account. It works apparently.

I wonder how many of these people mean "he's worth 7 to me" rather than 
"yeah, he looks like the type of guy that a women somewhere would rate 
as a 7".

I also wonder how many of these people just don't want to say "yeah,

    Seriously, forget that rating stuff by your mate, (and me), he was just 
trying to get you hooked up as you said. Guys do that, and I would say that 
it works sometimes with some people, but not always. But THAT isn't the way 
to go mate. Seriously.

    Well, because you haven't said this, that's why... <see attachment>

    He's now not a virgin because of this - it worked - I hope he doesn't 
catch something. Although, that would teach him a big lesson.

    When I saw that the first time, I'm like... WTF!!   >:o(

    To me, as a father, I'm like: "that's 18 years down the drain".

    Don't get me wrong, he really *is* a great lad, and there are two povers 
here that know me well enough to know that he would be.

     And their thoughts wouldn't be wrong. He's just being the sheep. But I 
don't give a flying fuck at the moment about his gf, it's the 'massive' bit 
I don't like, it makes him, my son, an enemy of mine. How could he do 
that???

    That's a close call! Probably not Andrew, as I have a big workload that 
I have to get through. I wish I could though, I need to see other people 
other than tools in front of my eyes.

    Give it a month, and let's do it, yes?

Ah, I remember the occasion well :-)

She was Polish, her name's Ada (as in Lovelace) and she's due back in 
London in September to study at UCL. She's considering whether to work 
at The Jack Horner to earn extra cash atm.

BTW When are you next in Sin City, Steve?

Woah! I just got the first set of photographs back. I'm actually

  LOL! :)  Just been talking to Stephen about it this morning. I really

You are just plain wrong, Andrew. Maybe thirty years ago your statement would
have been truer. On my present project about 25% of the functional and technical
people are female. That is not counting administrative staff or business

Well let me see now. At college, there were 0 girls in the class. At 
uni, there was 80 males and 3 females. And most of them went into 
service or support. All of the programming lectures had 0 females. As 
far as I can tell, the entire Haskell mailing list has 1 female on it, 
and several dozen males. Need I continue?

As you know, you need to get out of your present job and into the modern world.
I'll admit men predominate in technical jobs but it is not exclusive. Even here
in the geeky world of PovRay there are a few women who post regularly. So there
must be lots who don't. From my personal experience I've worked with at least a
dozen programmers who are women. Not to mention engineers and consultants.

Where I work we have a staff of about 65 programmers, 20 of whom are female.
So while computer technology is predominatly male, there are significant numbers
of females involved.  In another post I mentioned that a few programmers caused
me a lot of agravation.  None of them are female.

Untrue, unless I imagine the females in the engineering department who 
code and work in system test...

This has definitely changed in recent decades. When I was in grad 
school, one of the students said something about women not being into 
computers, and the rest of the class went "OOoooo!" (as in, "Ooooo, 
you're so politically incorrect.")  He just said "Well, look around." 
True, there were two women in a class of 30+ students.

At Bellcore (mid-90's) I can remember one woman out of the 30 people I 
worked with.

Nowadays, I see (like others) about 30% women in a given group of 
technical folks.  I think the numbers got a lot bigger during the "dot 
com boom."

Oh yes, absolutely; the school I went to had a male/female ratio worse 
than Berkeley - engineering and software development were the largest 
degree programs.  The engineering physics degree was something of an 
anomaly, as 16% of the enrolled students in the entire program were 
female.  Of course, there were only *6* enrolled....

A coworker had sex with a different girl every weekend. She met them using
one of those social networking sites (during work time of course XD).

As you must know from XKCD, spreading that kind of statistics is the reason
why there are no females. And you may get banned from the Internet for
doing so.

I accidentally put an ad in the gay section once. Within hours I had 
two-dozen replies. When I moved it to the correct section, I got 0 
replies in 24 months.

Also... I had a look on one social networking site where it shows hit 
counts on each page. In a period of (IIRC) 1 month, my profile got 6 
hits, and a female coworker's page got 17,000 hits.

What more can I say?

We don't. That's why we want you to stop spreading such false statistics.
