Men in trunks, waiting.
Beattie rushed in from his stint at Club Derrig last night all breathless and overcome a lot.
I removed my pipe and with the moist end indicated he should sit.
"Recover yourself, old chap," I said, replacing my pipe and puffing away. "Now, unburden yourself, but be quick about it - Corrie's on in a moment and I have toasted muffins to smear with preserves."
"Sir Colin," he began (always the one for etiquette, that lad) "I bring great news from the webbernet."
"Go on," I said, intrigued, and raised an eyebrow to show such.
"We have achieved equality with laydeez," he announced.
I rose from my chair and staggered across to him, and we embraced as brothers in a very manly fashion.
"You don't mean....." I said quietly.
"Yes," he said, ruffling my quiff. "We've got International Men's Day! We can celebrate on 19th November every year from now on. It's been a hard-fought battle, but I knew we'd get it in the end!"
I brushed a tear from my eye. The tide is turning.

International Men's Day- WOO HOOOOO !!!
Ok. Now that we've got a day it's vital that we DO SOMETHING on November 19, and not just talk about how good it is to have a day. We need to show the world we are going to celebrate thins thing with a few buddies. THAT will make it grow and grow
Here's the official IMD website, tells what its about and how to celebrate: http://www.international-mens-day.com/
Alright, already! No need to get carried away, anonymous - or should I say 'Bro'?
