If post of the year doesn’t require any form of originality then yes, it’s post of the year.

I’ve been telling you for months now, but at last conclusive proof that I know more about football than you miserable lot:

British women are top of the table when it comes to knowledge about the beautiful game, relegating their menfolk to second spot, according to a survey released today.

Research found that 59 per cent of women could correctly identify the offside law - one of the game's hardest to comprehend - as opposed to just 55 per cent of men.

Also 65 per cent of women correctly used the title assistant referee, while 40 per cent of men wrongly referred to the official as a "linesman".

"I've never understood the big fuss surrounding whether girls know what they're talking about when it comes to football because it was my mum who taught me the offside rule when I was a kid," Sky Sports presenter Helen Chamberlain said.

But as a woman you don't understand any of the statistics any way - you just aren't as clever as a man....

Men cleverer than women' claim


Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women.
A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests.

Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn claim the difference grows when the highest IQ levels are considered.

Their research was based on IQ tests given to 80,000 people and a further study of 20,000 students.

'Widening gap'

Dr Irwing, a senior lecturer in organisational psychology at Manchester University, told the Today programme on BBC Radio Four the study showed that, up to the age of 14, there was no difference between the IQs of boys and girls.

"But beyond that age and into adulthood there is a difference of five points, which is small but it can have important implications," he said.

"This is against a background of women dramatically overtaking men in educational attainment and making very rapid advances in terms of occupational achievement."

The academics used a test which is said to measure "general cognitive ability" - spatial and verbal ability.

As intelligence scores among the study group rose, the academics say they found a widening gap between the sexes.

There were twice as many men with IQ scores of 125, for example, a level said to correspond with people getting first-class degrees.

At scores of 155, associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman.


Thank you m'lud, the defence rests.

IT WAS A JOKE FEWLS!

FTLOG It's from the Daily Record originally, now unless Glasgow's finest is delivered regularly to Natasha's doorstep, she got it off the net. Therefore, she's as bad as anyone else who use the net to make a point/joke, so she can't criticise.

Logic not a strong point, is it Kev?

Listen to yourself man. It was a joke, I didn’t come on here saying men are crap – I am not a raving feminist, far from it in fact.

Let it lie will you. It was a joke.

Taking a joke is though.

I'm guessing reading a thread isn't your strong point as Nat had already said she was joking.

[communistworkethic]

so you doing it is funny, anyone else doing it is sad.

that'll be natasha-logic then.

People need to learn to take everything Natasha says with a pinch of salt, everybody should know that by now.

Any they should learn that other people's posts should be taken with a pinch of salt...

To be fair, only H. Pedersen trawled the internet, I actually made mine up on the spot. And I'd assume that HP did it because he feels as passionate about people doctoring studies as you do about people not seeing the funny side of one of your posts. each to their own, eh?

Yes, that's pretty much true. It's not like Natasha is the only one posting this, it's starting to go around actual news sources in the doctored form. I also frankly loathing hearing BS about women and sports.

Apart from the fact that this survey must be wrong, or they canvassed in a gay bar, the correct term for a linesman is linesman. A marathon is still a marathon, even if the yanks do think it should be called a snickers.
