Our table started singing the Chubby Brown version and I was appraoched by a man in suit who asked me to stop my workers from creating a scene.

Seems that some b*****d from our table had told him that i was the managing director!

RANT: the girl I currently share an office with telling her cronies that this place (my work) is a boys' club and you only get anywhere if you've got a penis! This coming from someone who is doing exactly the same job as me and currently getting paid more to do so!

Thank goodness I get my own office on Friday!

Where I work, they say the only way you will get on in the company is to be either female or gay! As I am neither of them, but i'll get that checked out, that would explain why they piss me around so much!

Oh dear guys, welcome to the 21st century - being a straight bloke is one of the last great sins left.

When I left uni one of my friends was accepted for a course in masters in social work whilst I was still umming and ahhing. She tried to convince me to enrol too because I wouldn't even have to do any work to get it - I ticked a lot of the right boxes:

Ethnic Minority? tick
Disabled? tick
Male? tick
Gay? Damn, knew I'd forgotten something - oh well, probably only get a Masters without a distinction

I wish I'd enrolled because nobody knows what Medical Anthropology is (including me, and I've been involved in it for 14 years!!!)

I can see you out there involved in social medicine, endeavouring to improve the lot of the working class and their susceptibility to disease and illness.

A sad case of the haves and the have nots!

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Cheers Sidge, but I chickened out. Whereas a number of the other students went off to exotic places like Nigeria, Thailand and the Philipines to carry out their fieldwork, I carried out mine in British GP surgeries

But then again I think I was probably in more danager

Looking back on it, it was a great course with some of the best anthropologists in the world in that field, but at the time.........well, students can be very ungrateful.
