A bullied office worker has been awarded £5,000 after her boss raised his right buttock from his chair and broke wind in her direction.

Humiliated mother-of-three Theresa Bailey, 43, was the only woman on a sales team where "laddish" behaviour made her life a misery, and continued despite complains to senior managers.

Mrs Bailey said colleagues leered at female passers-by and joked that women couldn’t park cars.

Not exactly the image conjured up when you think of the politically correct UK, is it?

“Gone with the wind?”

While not related to this stupid story, Gone With the Wind is an expression that my brothers and I now use to describe life in America.

Growing up in Memphis 1940s and up, I remember great times.
In the last 15 or 20 years, however, American life, culture, and Politics has been down hill all the way. I guess it ended after RR.
This is why I am now in Slovakia, and loving it. One brother is in Paris, and his twin near San Fransicko is ready to flee to any other continent.

As we all say, life in America is “Gone With the Wind”

No matter which of the three stooges win, Life in America will be taking its last gasp for life.

“Working in Bratislava ?”

Yes, I do the only thing a non Slovak speaker can do.
I work as a private tutor of English in businesses and banks.
I also have one on one sessions with some Korean kids, one as young as 4 !!

I work with advanced speakers in conversation and vocabulary.
Great work. I can pay all of my expenses here by working about 20 hours per week.

That’s just silly — the sound and smell of farts is omni-directional.
