My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

"why the fuck should we"A very modern sentiment. We've gone from 'it takes a village to raise a child' to 'having a child was their choice...why the fuck should we'.
Not just because we were all children once; or because most of us will have children; but because those children are the next generation of members of society. We can't regard them as some fringe interest that a few people have but should keep quiet about. You expect parents not to take public transport, go out to events, or go on holiday for 10 years, as thanks?
I'm not a parent, and I don't expect to be for a long while. But when I'm on the tube with a crying baby and the students and the investment bankers are tutting and giving the tired, stressed mother dirty looks while she tries to do the best job she can of raising a child, I think it's pretty fucking disgraceful.
