Passing in a taxi I saw a woman, who was wearing one of those all enveloping black garments, arguing with a man I took to be her husband.
Words must have failed to convince him of her case. So, she he swung at him with her handbag, which he ducked, then dropped it and grabbing him and they both tumbled to the ground.

I do get some sort of sick joy from witnessing a domestic in the street. About a month ago I saw a couple arguing (well, she was arguing, he was looking cowed), and they were still at it about an hour later when I passed them again.

Or even said, 'You look terrible in that'. Who knows.

I'm sure not all Muslim men want submissive wives. Same as Catholic men don't want their wives to be pregnant twice a year....

I was quite impressed myself, sandy. Did try to lug in to find out what it was all about. Managed to gather that his sister said something that the girlfriend didn't like and he was getting the blame for it.

You could have auctioned them, sandy.

I'm sure there was a you tube video shown here no time ago where a learned Imam was expounding of the width of a switch suitable for chastisement.
The couple I saw this afternoon mustn't have subscribed to that branch of Islam.

Not the women I know, sandy - they rule the roost on all matters domestic.

It is nice to see that Girl Power has reached most parts of the planet.

My current avatar is Princess Stupid (aka Merlin Warrior Princess) she is a guard dog in disguise. Will have to buy her a handbag so that she can welly her brother with it.

Mrs Thatcher has a lot to answer for, handbagging the wimps in her cabinet set a fashion.

I blame that Pankhurst woman, sandy.
