How do you warm cold hands?

[keefysher]

It's a funny old world these days of poor education and Political Correctness.

I was always taught if I had cold hands to cross my arms and put hands under armpits, as armpits are the warmest part of your body. Worked very well when waiting on a cold start line about to paddle down a freezing river of rapids.

Apparently suggesting this would lead to me resigning a position of a Cabinet Maker today.

What worries me most is these ill educated prats are playing with people's lives.

Get a grip and do what you are paid for you thick dipsticks

No sensible or educated person would want to go into politics these days. If you are not being skewered by John Humphrys you are being shafted by your so called colleagues. We get the politicians who are the worst of the bunch.

Keith, are your hands cold? I'll tell you where you can warm them up...

in your pockets

 

[A.J.]

What you need is a Dog that can't stop pooing itself, then you could have a poo bag in your pocket to keep your hands warm !!

If that's all he's (been asked) to resign over then MAY should stop pandering to PC whingers.
Every time there is a whinge from the opposition she defends the position, more realistic would be to tell 'em to naff off and grow up.
As yet we don't know if there is more revelations about Fallon to come, I hope not.

If someone who seems to have morals such as Fallon isn't fit to be in the Cabinet how are they going to justify entertaining the lowlife Trump next year.

They have to be your own arm pits ......

inside a pair of 36d aint a bad place to warm yr hands either !!!

Am I the only one who’s wondering if some of this maybe “somewhat exaggerated” for column inches?
I’m not aware of this behaviour in any of my work experiences.
Perhaps I’ve been sheltered or just naive.

I keep my hands warm by constantly slapping people...the friction keeps them nice and toasty.

Who are we talking about and what did he do?

 

[geraldrobins]

Who are we talking about and what did he do?

Michael Fallon and his suggestion of where a female colleague should place her hands to warm them.

probrably.

It would be nice for the media to move on to the issue at the heart of the problem us, contrary to me-edia witterings we adults don't operate in a politically correct environment carrying consent forms and pre-sex checklists.
Most of us will have encounters far removed from the mills & boon ideals and sorry to shatter some dreams but many older men and women myself included are deluded enough to think most of the opposite sex (or whoever) are still lusting after us despite our ages and the reality that some just don't want to have any form of relationship with us never mind jump into bed or wherever with us.
If you use your position to harass someone in any form you should be called to account.

Guy Fawks had the right idea!

I wonder how different things would been.

This was normally the position adopted for the stinging and overheated hands when six of the best were administered during the great school whipping sessions back in the day... or clamped firmly between the knees. So the cabinet minister may have been reliving his school days.
A modern day intern seeing such practises may not have been aware of the now restricted practises.

 

[Frosty149]

Whilst not condoning sexism or any kind of inappropriate conduct, I can’t help but feel that had some ‘lady’ initiated some ‘flirty’ or sexually intoned banter with their male colleagues or juniors, the event would be perceived as good natured humour and receive little attention.
I know there are clearly limits and boundaries but, are we in danger of over reacting (or shouting wolf) here?

 

[Frontstep]

Of course the me-edia gets in a frenzy and the luvvies love it, the problem is the usual suspects old public school boy Tories are no worse than anyone else.
Lost in amongst the melee is some poor intern who's life has been made a misery and the rape allegation.
The truth is lost in stories of knee touching and ill considered texts, proof if any were needed that as far as relationships and sex goes many are still tittering behind their hands wondering why no one bothers them.

Bandwagons can be dangerous things and I suspect one or two will regret jumping on it for some time to come.

How lomg before some MP has to say - "It wasn't an invitation to an S&M sex session. I simply invited her to my office to see the whips"?
