shan't!
I'm still in a good mood. It's a nice day and I'm going to be spending it out of the office. Albeit in Weston-super-Mare :-/

I've been made aware that the stupid handbag thing on facebook is to raise awareness for breast cancer same as that pants things last year (which I had entirely forgotten about and at any rate only vaguely knew it was about breast cancer anyway)

My question to you is this: obviously breast cancer is a terrible thing and women (and men to some extent) need to be aware of it and to check themselves, but I put forward that posting a cryptic message on facebook is not a very good way of doing it. Surely something more to the point like BREAST CANCER: FUCKING CHECK YOURSELF YOU SPASTIC! would be more effective.

What do you think?

It was very good last year
as it made the news, and a lot of stupid women who wouldn't visit the doctor but who spend tons of hours on facebook got to know about it and maybe some of them did check themselves.

It's like with kids, they learn quickly and happier if it's with a little game.

It's harmless fun.

The facebook posts, not breast cancer.

I reckon we should start one for Prostate Cancer
Men can get breast cancer, but we're not allowed to enter the breast cancer charity run thing. Terribly sexist in my opinion.

you only want to enter so you can watch lots of boobs jogging up and down.

Well, this is the first time I knew it was anything to do with breast cancer
It was just stupid and confusing, and made you think folk were having sex on the sideboard or coffee table.
