What makes a man?
Men are expected to like and understand football, badger baiting, power tools, the internal combustion engine, and yet very many of them are tragically unhandy, unsporting and fond of badgers. Men are never allowed to be wrong, to read instruction manuals, and are expressly forbidden to ask directions.
Add to this the fact that men are required to fight – in wars, in bars, in post office queues – and it’s easy to appreciate that most spend their lives in a broth of nervous tension and sensations of impending doom.
Which explains why they’re generally so messy. And, to make matters worse, they’re big. Even quite small men are big.
the priceless A.L. Kennedy doesn’t stop there though, in The Observer
[I mean, even the contact details on her website are good].
