Things Women need To Know

1. 3/4 length trousers are not fashionable, they just look like bad hand-me-downs.

2. Long black boots and a mini skirt will always get a bloke's attention.

3. Mini skirts never went out of fashion, the shorter the better,the more you show the "beetles bonnet" the better.

4. Hot pants should only be worn by models, nobody likes to see a cellulite arse and thighs.

5. Wonderbras should carry a disappointment label with them, you shouldn't advertise a Porsche and deliver a Mini.

6. Glittery make-up is a pain to get off our knob.

7. Taking a handbag to the toilets immediately notifies the entire male audience that its red rag time. This is much appreciated as we no not to waste valuable drinking time chatting up someone impersonating an A&E victim.

8. A purse should contain money and not a "Bar" deflector. A bird going "Dutch" always gets a second date.

9. Smoking is not a fashion accessory or a turn on, so stop acting like a school girl and buy some mints. (school uniforms are still acceptable though).

10. When caught short and having a No. 2 whilst out on the town, remember to always wipe from front to back, as someone could be licking that later.
