I wanted to start a new thread.
Yesterday my wife's line manager asked her if I could stop sending her emails with offensive language in them as it keeps hitting their internet barrier.
How have you been censored recently?

Nothing too offensive
The odd "shit" or "fuck" may have occasionally peppered my usually polite banter. I just asssumed that there was no filter as nothing ever got bounced back.

My man in the know reckons it has a chance.
I've not looked to see what price it is, or if it's worth betting on a win or for a place.

EDIT: Just checked, it's a small field of runners, so a place would only be paid on the second finisher, and with a price of 3/1 it would be only worth betting on the horse to win. Looking at the price of the other runners, I'd suggest it isn't worth backing.

They dress that way because the way their tits look in it makes them feel (young and) attractive.
However, being women, they don't want men to actually find them attractive based on the amount of cleavage they're showing as that makes them feel cheap.

Hope this helps.

The particular lapse in logical thought that baffles me
is the theory that goes "if I dress more revealingly, men are going to notice my keen mind and dazzling personality".

There's nothing wrong with wanting to be more attractive, but having a go at men because they're noticing that you've got your waps out is self-defeating.
