@snowy Not sure how you managed to make my comment all about men, but go you. No, what I'm talking about is women romance readers will read huge amounts of M/M romance, but not nearly as much F/F.
Was after Jegga's comment about girl on girl action.
So, numbers in general:
Straight blokes don't generally read romance?
Romance novel readers would mostly be women of any sexual persuasion?
Fair to assume that the numbers of lesbian romance novel readers are quite small?And yeah, why would women of any sexuality want to read about gay men?
It's actually QI and I understand your puzzlement. My wife also writes so the demographics are intriguing..
Certainly won't enter a gender debate as the fern has me completed confused about that. Until recently I actually thought there were two. Ha, how naive I was. I will try and refer to everybody as Zhe in future.

Pretty obvious if you turn the tables. Given the choice a fairly large majority of men would rather read about steamy scissoring saphites than hairy cock gobblers

There are some newsworthy issues in there.
Firstly I didn't know that you could still buy a pie for $2. You can't around my place, so good to know, informative journalism that I am paying too much for pies.
Secondly I can understand the anger. I would never let anyone take my pie. I like pies, and it would indeed take a bomb to get one off me.As for the bomb - we used to have people who did risk assessments of credible threats WRT to bombs. I wonder where they would have ranked a naked homeless guy, with one in his bag, eating a pie, in the Mount...
Still you can't be too careful so I will be avoiding the Tauranga area for a while, (although the cheap pies are a bit of a draw-card and possibly worth the risk).

You make your point well, but it isn't about the men as Mokey told me - we don't buy Romance novels.
I am intrigued as to why women would read about hairy cock gobblers (as you so eloquently put it). That seems to be a very strange thing, but the world is full of mysteries.

My suspicion is that the readers of romance novels may be hairy cock gobblers themselves.
Please note that I specifically said readers and not writers.

@snowy it’s sometimes useful to look at things from a different perspective. Instead of being disappointed you cannot buy a pie for $2 in your locale perhaps ask the question how does one get the price of a pie down to $2 ? What are they leaving out or worse still what is going in to those pies to make them so cheap?

You're right. I must admit I don't mind paying a bit extra to avoid the eyeball, arsehole, rats tail, type of pie.
Which begs the question if you have a bomb and are intending to steal a pie - why not choose a good one?

While all of you have been discussing lesbos supping at the pink cup there’s been some incredible things happen in our nation. Hosking and Street have quit a show I never watched and maybe replaced by ......wait for it......the Beyoncé of the news.

Well you certainly bought that back to the title of the thread with a jolt.
Can we go back to lesbians and pies now?

I expect our Mother is fed up of working with that idiot Jack Tame!

Look my deep abiding affection for fur traders is well documented but this is the Beyoncé of the news we are talking about mate.

Feral is as feral does..
The kicker is at the end when she found out she’s pregnant... yay
-
@virgil haha that reads so funny...was the catatlyst to binge drinking instead of everyday the issue with the cop or finding out she was pregnant and this was her changing her life haha
Counsel Meg Scally said her client realised alcohol was the catalyst for her meltdown but she said she would binge drinking at the weekend rather than use it daily.
Vince had recently found out she was pregnant, which had motivated her to change her life, the court heard.Having lived next to some ferals and having to call Noise control all the time I sympathise with her neighbours, they have no idea nor do they care how much the thud of bass intrudes on peoples lives around them, regardless of the time of day and night!
We got to the point where we used to 'accept' it until 10pm....then I'd have to go have a chat with the ex-Black Power guy next door about turning his music down, even better, his brother-in-law confronted me one time I was there as I had beat him up as a kid for bullying little kids haha!

Did Toni Street used to look fairly decent or did I imagine that?
2$ for a pie, a half decent one is usually at least $4.50.
-
@mn5 she can look tidy (no one will forget her rubbish interviews as a sports journo that make her look stupid...) IIRC she suffers some disorder that can cause her to bloat up considerably, and then the next day be fine.
-
@taniwharugby That's down to taste, not my cup of tea, but yes she has some condition

Apparently they are looking to reunite Hillary Barry and John Campbell.....
