Female Mechanics Calendar and the Tottenham Wrench

Three minutes away you were from having the pleasure of me videoing myself doing a naked umbaba round my back garden in the snow.

But thankfully, Spurs put paid to that little escapade just as I was getting down to my underpants. They also put paid to any other thoughts of a gaggle of Dingles descending upon the capital for a cup final.

You can’t help but be impressed by it as an effort. Even a few Blackburn fans felt a bit sorry for all concerned. Though that might not last. ;-)

Anyway, in order to cheer us all up I’ve come across the 2009 Female Mechanics Calendar. No, it’s not pornographic, nor is it clad remotely scantily – it’s a calendar full of women who are mechanics.

Now I don’t want this to come across as patronising or snide. I wanted to highlight it for the same reason that the photographer who put the thing together did – to show that they are genuine Rosie the Riveter type role models out there, and maybe this will help render the necessity for calendars pointing such a fact out in the future worthless.

    Looks like a great inspirational calendar, I’m particularly impressed with Jessica who is rebuilding a fireship in her spare time.

    I think my eyes must be going. It took me an age to find out which one was Jennifer.

    It’d be nice to get an engineering one as well methinks as opposed to just ladies fixing choppers. ;-)

    I think that I need to change mechanics.

    The trick is to click on the link for the photographer and then March. It’s a bit hard to read that hand written scrawl.

    As an aside, whenever I see someone with a gas welding torch I always think if the quote from “The Full Monty”, “She can’t weld, her mix is all wrong”

    That is awesome.

    I love how it is just women working, not trying to be more than that.
