Isn't the 8th March Women's day and the Eve of the Ides of March?

Sounds like a tricky combination - will be too busy gathering in offerings of Mimosa and other flowers that day to go on internet anyway...

If anyone needs the address where to send their floréal tributes...:D

If my x is owt to go by an iron isn't acceptable, it isn't automatic, she would have found that far too exhausting, besides she took 3 weeks to recover from throwing the darned thing at me during PMT!

Aparently yes, not that I ever celebrate it - perhas it should be renominated "International Internet Switch-off day" would have more sense!:D
Bit like that TV programme back in the 80's " Why don't you....?" (just switch off the TV and do something more interesting instead...):rolleyes:

They are very expensive, but you deserve them, of course, the sacrifices one has to make...:) (Have since discovered there are coffee flavoured ones...)

What happens to the women that have a birthday on lets make a fuss about nothing day?
Are they reveered as mega-girly or do they have to go into therapy because they are missing out on an extra day of feeling above their station?

Yes, I understand that, I also understand some, (if not the majority of women aren't sucked into this kind of rubbish), every day is a woman's day, it just so happens it's a man's day as well, most of us don't need special days for our genders, though there is one week in every month that it would be wise for a man to treat his partner very carefully.
