So what about big boobies - do they have an effect?

On me, yes.
I didn't think funny was allowed on this thread. I'm writing a letter of complaint and will speak to the vicar.

Definitely Not Mister Pops

Now that same-sex marriage is legal, is there etiquette concerning who proposes to whom? In straight marriage it's traditionally the man who buys the ring and proposes to the woman, but how does it work when the couple is comprised of either two men or two women?

Forgive me if that sounds fierce ignorant, but I only ask to try and remedy my ignorance.
You may quote me on that.

That is indeed tradition; but not one I'm crazy about, to be honest; it comes from the-chaps-calling-all-the-shots' days; I spose it's quaint in its own way, but me own notion is that it's probably better (even if it seems less rose-mantic) to properly talk about this stuff together like grown-ups.

As for all gender combinations being equal under the law, the new folks at the table will probably just work out their own traditions, one couple at a time. For male gayers it will be a man doin' the askin'; for the lezzer-beanz, it'll be a woman. Apologies if that sounds facetious... I'm coming from a place of ignorance meself, but I watched 'Albert Nobbs'* last night and suddenly this whole issue seemed very straightforward to me.
*Informative, (on this issue)- but not actually a very  good film in its own right.

HOW IS IT THAT PEOPLE WITH SMALL FEET DON'T FALL OVER? HMMM?
It can only be that their heads are filled entirely with Helium, and this is what keeps them upright.

That's ridiculous, the balance is in the ears, as long as they are the same size, otherwise you fall on the side of the heavier or more bulbous ear.

yeah? explain this:

But it was the lead that sent him barmy.
Heck of a price to pay, just to remain upright.

The price of a mad man's hat is 10s/6d.

The evidence is there in the picture, Kirk Douglas was most famously portrayed by that great lead actor Van Goatie Beard.

Through victory, my chains are broken.
