...or has there been a surge in todger-related news recently? is it the weather? or something in the water.

Apart from the todger, the other thing now missing is an IT angle.

Mohabbat mohabbat mohabbat!

...he was in de-Nile!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Son: You won't let me pork my intended, so I have removed my pecker.

Dad: Oh, ok, since you feel so strongly, go on then, you can have her.

Duh!

Paris because she'd find a way to re-attach it

did he use some new type of blade to cut it off or did he browse google while doing it?

If not then how is this on the register (although it is funny)

So he saw the choice as losing by marrying below status, or losing status below?

@Lionel Baden

"if he's from a influential family grab what you can and bugger off and do what you like !!!"

Because he doesn't want to give up his comfortable lifestyle and lacks the guts?

Better to mutilate yourself in a fit of pique in his mind. But surely that's abnormal psychology even in a thoroughly abnormal society. To my way of thinking, the young woman's well out of it, if he's that crazy.

He'll have been taught that women are inferior to men; it's also been drummed into his mind that this woman is "socially inferior" too. He's infatuated now - which may be partly the charm of the forbidden - once that wears off what might he have done to her if she crossed him?

No, I chapped my hair for charity cos my gran died of cancer

Obviously, there IS no IT angle, as there is nothing to FORM an angle anymore.

50/50, partly cut it off for my new girlfriend at the time (now my wife and soon to be mum of our first child) and partly because I was sick of waking up choking on my own hair.

(and maybe a smidge of my sub-conscious thinking I should grow a little, that thought probably didn't last long though).

...knows what it's all about... Emotional and physical torment. All the standard things that a woman brings to the party.

Mind you, this guys makes old Vince' Van Gogh loping his ear off look pretty weak!

Steak and eggs. The chicken was involved but the cow was committed.

"Where's the beef?"

IT angle, perhaps his girl "worked it" online as a computer whacker.

But did he "drop the ball?"

There, there, I'm going, no need to shove.

This article is currently one of the most read and most commented suggesting that the IT angle is not necessarily the first concern of a large number of El Reg's readership today.

If the lack of IT angles is causing you a problem, perhaps you should protest in some way ...

If a strict (presumably) muslim upbringing is anything like a strict catholic upbringing, it is possible he wasn't fully aware of the uses for a todger.

Of course I'd cut off my ponytail - if I had one.

After all, beneath every pony's tail is an asshole.

Moderatrix - how's the hair growing ??

<<To continue with the hair-cutting thread I cut my waist-length hair of 16 years for the British Heart Foundation>>

To do that stunt, you must've been utterly waisted. ;-) </groan)

RESPECT, Sir! (I assume?). Nice one.*

-Andus

* Actually, when I lived in Tampere, (Finland), I ran a wager for charity (of the pub's choice) that I would stand at a bus stop holding a vacuum cleaner, and with the hose stuck down the front of my trousers, asking the locals "Which is the fastest bus to the hospital?"

Did OK.

to castrate me in marriage...

At least the pony (or rat) tail can grow back.

One MAJOR problem he will face: he will always find women howt and attractive 'cause he's got balls!

If I did, I am fairly sure my girlfriend would leave me...

Just goes to show that being a drama queen transcends culture (and gender).

How the hell do you exaplain that on your wedding night?

Imagine the scene... after running away to be married in another country... two lovers finally united...

*ZIP*

"What the?!?!?"

"Ah... I was hoping that you were not going to notice darling.."

Paris... because she obvisoulsy check the tackle before pulling...

"and partly because I was sick of waking up choking on my own hair."

You were wearing it the wrong way.
