The Full Monty!

[Caran]

Just watched this. It was absolutely fantastic. Great bunch of chaps and so brave.

[anotheoldgit]

Nice to see all you ladies enjoying and ogling the male form.

I wonder if you would have been so tolerant if the show had been about ladies stripping off?

I can hear the cries of "female exploitation", and utterances regarding the "Dirty Mac Brigade".

Funny old world.

AOG - If you have nothing to contribute to AB today other than sour observations and self-justifyng whinges perhaps you'd be better off logging off the internet and going out into the sunshine?

As has already been explained this proggramme was a light-hearted way to get men (in the main) to examine themselves for unexpected lumps, bumps and symptoms and to get their women-folk to either do it for them or nag them into doing it themselves.

Then in this day of equality we can expect a similar programme, so as to make women aware of such things?

[jackthehat]

I don't know but it would be nice to think so.

What would your (undoubted) objections be to such an eventuality?

[Eleena]

Nothing was ogled, you couldn't see anything, that would have spoilt it. It was all done in a tasteful way and raised awareness.

[Samuraisan]

It was fun and they certainly all have plenty b...... to take part. I now will remind and nag all the men in my family to get checked out. Incidentally, what a body Ashley has. Lucky girlfriend/wife, not sure what he has.

Seems to prove the point I was making.

[Islay]

AOG your sour grapes seem to have got stuck in your mouth today!!

I see nothing disprespectful in what the ladies earlier on has written, perhaps its time to unfurl your knickers and loosen up!!

No objections at all or about the Full Monty programme.

But I am a great defender of a level playing field.

Never see the Miss World, Miss GB or even topless darts programmes no more, do we?

...... and rename yourself to miserable old git

[Mamyalynne]

Go watch a re run of Calendar Girls AOG and smile.

I missed last night's , will watch on catch up.

[jackthehat]

*round of applause for AOG*

Smug vindication is not a good look....

[mallyh]

women have smear test and breast checks by the NHS and we get sent reminders not much is said about male cancers x

Don't be so rude, I don't wish to spoil anyone's enjoyment I was simply making a point, but if that is what gets their rocks off so be it, but please remember it is not just a woman's world, why some of you even got rid of the Page 3 girls, the beauty contests and would even wish to get rid of the bikini clad ladies that appear on the side border of Mail on Line.

Much as you would like it to be, you can't have it all yourself all the time, that is called being damn right selfish.

Since I did not watch the programme I didn't know what it was about, I just voiced my opinion on the way the programme seemed to effect some of our more voyeur lady ABers.

[anotheoldgit]

Come on you guys, speak up on behalf of your genda, I am out here on my own facing a number of angry female ABers, can't you imagine the ordeal that I am under, :0)

[Islay]

'voyeur'
Seriously!!

[Smowball]

Would have definitely taken a lot of *** to do that - especially the older men standing next to the younger and fitter ones. Well done to them!!

[MargoTester]

AOG - sorry if I offended you. It was a tongue in cheek remark, meant to be funny. It's what I call my OH when he has a bit of a rant :-)

[anotheoldgit]

MargoTester

That's okay Margo you are forgiven, and I am sorry if I have offended any of you ladies, but it has always been a bee in my bonnet, the fact that when men attend a strip club they are labelled, either as "dirty old men" or the "dirty mac brigade", whereas when women attend a male strip show, perhaps on a hen night, it is classed as just a good girlie fun night out.

Incidentally it is know that women at such events are much more hands on than would ever be allowed at male do.
