Heartless Bitch, moi? Well yes that'll suit, if that's the alternative to going along with the crowd for the sake of an easy life, or being mean just to keep in with the Queen Bee. I tend to look on the brighter side and I dislike whingers. Needless to say though, there are things that don't half get my goat.

• I red-mist whenever I receive a sympathetic aside such as "I don't understand why you haven't got a boyfriend" - usually from another woman! - as if I'm sitting here washing my smalls, waiting for The One to Roll Up and Save Me. How about a pat on the back for getting a degree, setting up my own business, teaching myself fluent Italian and getting a job in Japan, or are those lesser achievements? And no, I don't want your bad-breathed, bigoted cast-off even if he does have more AC/DC albums than me!

• I will not be an emotional punching bag to a friend simply because she/he is going through a rough patch and decides bringing me down will make them feel better. By all means talk to me about it and I'll help if I can, but if it's easier to just cast stones then sling your hook! Likewise I refuse to "dumb down" to make you feel better about yourself. How about you wise up instead?

• Women who slag off feisty younger women for doing exactly what they did when they were that age - i.e., getting drunk with their friends, wearing silly shoes, snogging strange boys - then proceed to list all the twenty-somethings that they're "hotter" than will have the pleasure of my company for precisely thirty seconds before my yawn-o-meter kicks in. Men who call said younger women "slags" when they discover that a) youth does not equal stupidity and b) a beery come-on doth not win fair lady, will activate my fist, if the "slags" haven't got there first.

• Words like "slags" anyway! What kind of a cretin uses this kind of language in all seriousness, unless they're prepared to use it for men as well?
