Pointlessly Gendered Product - Christmas Competition

[subaqua]

Yorkies are clearly tongue in cheek. The special bars they put in MoD ration packs are marked 'not for civvies'.

There is no way the MOD would ever put anything remotely tasty in a Rat pack ( so called because the meat is believed to be rat) . Meals ready to eat had the acronym MRE and this was also understood to mean meals rejected by eithiopians they were that bad.

Just seen a pink Christmas stocking for a dog whilst browsing for something else. Apparently it's limited edition. I assume this is because the fact that it's a Christmas stocking for dogs wot like pink isn't enough of a selling point.

....advice - never put lego on the hob to heat it to soften it to bend. it doesn't work !

I once went on a blind date, the girl I met had a face like fire damaged Lego.

MREs are for the Septics, so they don't count. I remember Rolos in the packs the gave us cadets in the 80s. Ration packs the days are like this boil in the bag meals you see in Go Outdoors - Lancashire Hot Pot. Enjoy hot or cold!

I used to love the rat pack food when I was a cadet. I remember getting one of the 10 man packs once and making a massive one pot dish out of the contents. Happy memories.

That's not a very nice thing to say.

I know, but it was true, there is more about her but too OT for this thread.

The Borg cubes off Star Trek TNG were a great advance in Lego spaceship fabrication.
While square rockets will probably never catch on, most satellites and probes have a somewhat blocky appearance.
I can make a reasonable model of a comsat with the inside of a loo roll and some beer mats.

I made a model Skylab from a washing up liquid bottle, straws, cardboard etc - hung it from my bedroom ceiling... (along with the model aeroplanes!)

It's what passes for humour in a world where it's usual to refer to one's wife as 'the enemy'.

Most of my friends use "the warden".

 

[Dan B]

CarlP regularly calls his wife the enemy.

You've been reading 1984. The Thought Police will be along to pick him up soon.

on several points

the main one being they are not food ! TBF the packs today are not bad at all ( well the 2012 stuff was OK )

But this thread is about pointlessly gendered products, so it could be argued that what you said about your unfortunate "date" was completely unnecessary as well as being unkind.

As for pointlessly gendered products, I've always wondered why anything made for the garden is pink, eg those tubs that people carry things about in. However my slightly soppy SiL says you can see them better if you've left something down the garden, and this is also true for gardening gloves.
