Stunning Diana snap and no security
Jill Brookes writes: "There have been recollections during the recent royal tour by William, Kate and George, of Charles and Diana visiting the assembled schools at Eden Park in 1983. I was sitting in the southern stand with pupils from Mt Eden Normal School (my younger son was in Year 8) and I decided to sneak through the labyrinth of hallways to the entrance where the royal party would be coming into the park. It sure says something about the security at the time as I was not challenged at all and got this amazing photo of them standing on the back of the Rolls Royce as they drove into the park. It appears that Diana was adjusting her pantyhose or something similar at the time I took the photo."
Everyday sexism
1. The funniest instance of everyday sexism is when you (as a female) say, "Yeah, I don't plan to have kids," and the person you're talking to just looks at you like, "Something has gone horribly wrong. This baby machine is broken".
2. At work, after my colleagues decided that my refusal to shave my legs except on special occasions is part of my evil feminist plan to dominate my boyfriend by creating a pavlovian reaction to my body hair — "I bet he has to ask permission before he has sex with you". Well ... Yes. I'm not a sex doll.
