I like the implication there that you can be a tit if you’re female. How?

I believe the pejoritive sense of “tit” is more related to “small bird” than “breast” anyway.

Particularly in Scotland, where “fanny” (and worse) is a gender-neutral term of abuse.

>>Uh, Gary, you can’t be a “tit” if you’re a guy.

Tit, as a perjorative, is not gender specific.

Uh, Gary, you can’t be a “tit” if you’re a guy. And I’ll bet I’m just as sharp-tongued as you when it comes to these stupid chain letters.

Heh.

I feel really bad about this, but whenever somebody otherwise normal sends me a really dumb email forward I lose loads of respect for them. I suspect that makes me a bit of a tit.

I have been getting cutesy email forwards about the joys of menopause from an aunt since I was 17 years old.

Sadly I can’t do that.

I decided a while ago to stop indulging firms’ capitalisation nonsense. I have reverted to a policy of “Proper nouns start with a capital letter and their remaining letters are lower-case, whatever their creators’ marketing departments might like to think.” It’s working very nicely.

Yeah, I’m probably being a wee bit unfair – the only truly tuneless song is a bonus track, The Wrong Song. It’s bloody awful :)

Nice write up though not quite sure which songs on the new album you deem ‘tuneless’. I think it’s probably Babybirds most consistent effort ever. Some of the songs on the back half of the album are real growers (not good enough). Nice comparison to E though, I can definitely see a similarity in their eccentric, bleak world view. That humour, though slightly differing, is probably what saves them both from being gloomy maudlin bast***s and total musical geniuses!
