Don't be so patronising, this country owes me nothing and I am not looking for plaudits or gratitude, I signed up for it the day I married, you know the part, ".....in sickness and in health, for rich or for poor".

If you think sacrificing going out to work every day to look after a much loved and wanted partner is less manly than being a hod carrier then I'll swap you for a working week - My 24/7 for your 8/5.

I know I am richer in many more ways than financial. Before you say it, yes, it is my choice. I could always just absolve myself of the responsibility and get some one else to do it, be that privately or the state.

IT Engineer and general all round nice guy

Spot On.

Well done for putting He-Man in his place

This manliness thing is absolutely ridiculous.

Can the cavemen please go somewhere else and whack each other over the heads with clubs?

PS I wrestle alligators for a living and have a nixer testing parachutes at the weekend...

Big girl's blouse.

I was going to ask was it a soft landing?:D

If we're talking about manly jobs, I work for BMW. Surely that's worth something?

Typical non civil servants ;)

I tear off the limbs of our nations foes with my bear hands, then hold their heads in a furnace with my bare hands before eating them charred but uncooked. I [personally don't think it that manly a job, but it is one that needs doing.

As there hasn't been much work in that line lately, I have recently been working in theatre, freelance artistic work, but for the last few months full time technician / manager at a University theatre - regular pay :eek:

If you are Nick Heidfeld or Robert Kubica driving in F1 then you are manly, otherwise, probably not :D
