Wow, I wish you could get different coloured tyres.
Wow Misogyny & horrible spelling. Does nobody in the Galway independent check these things before printing them?
do you know what misogyny means?
Do you?
Yes.
There is nothing misogynistic about this at all.
Feel free to call it sexist and we can talk.
Oh relax.
“than just been”…dear oh dear.
I’ve being insulted by the dreadful proof-reading.
Nearly spat out my beens on toast!
Me to
I seen it and taught it was funy.
I am sure ladies are aware of what tyres are. Also what be the good spelings and grammaticals.
You’re so full of hot air aren’t you?
Ah, be nice, I’m wheely tired today
don was obviously at the women-only gym last night. still, you must be glad this is a ladies-centred event don, it may go some way to make up for portmarnock..
:P
only kidding.
Scottser, you ruined it!! Puns only! Jesus…
sorry don. i’ll alloy your concerns with this one:
women’s gym tho – hubba(cap), hubba(cap), eh?
You need to tread carefully around Don, Joe.
Ha ha I’m psi-ing myself here Mick
That’s so odd – I don’t know what to make of it.
in fairness, ive never met a girl who could change a tyre.
Really? First thing I was taught when learning to drive, along with general maintenance
really? i’ve met a good few who won’t change a tyre, but none who actually couldn’t.
I know a guy who can’t. What’s your point?
I’ve never tired of a girl who could change
If I may go so far as to try to offer an alternate view, where perhaps this is seen as not being sexist, at least not in the way most people are reading this.
Knowledge of cars and knowledge of mechanics tend to be seen by swathes of society as a male issue, evidence of this is highlighted by the considerable overlap in content between Men’s magazines and Car magazines.
A topic so dominated by masculinity and bravado can be intimidating to ask for information on, in particular for women, despite the fact that such knowledge is essential to making informed purchases (and potentially saving one’s life).
A ladies tyres evening perhaps aims at providing such knowledge in a judgment free environment.
They could have done all of that without the pastel tyres and pinkified everything though couldn’t they?
Every tyre kicker deserves a mother and a father?
‘Treat a new set of tyres like a new pair of shoes for your car….’
You have 4 feet?
I’ll keep an eye out for it, but that place is notorious for getting your bike swiped.
Good luck in any event.
Ger Brennan will make a guest appearance discussing the reasons why it is important to have a husband if you have a car.
I’ve lost count of the amount of tyres I’ve changed for female friends. I read this earlier in the Galway independent and thought it was a decent idea, was gonna sign herself up for it in fact but she is busy with the bairn. It then immediately left my mind until I read it this morning.
Save your outrage for something worthwhile.
Alright I’ve just read the bit at the bottom, “there is more to tyres than just been round and black”. I take it all back. Outrageous on more than one level.
Hilarious ad.
Module 1: How to use a low cut top to change a tyre.
module 2: always wear a short skirt for strenuous jack work.
Is it an advert for a gym?
Surely this front cover was the work of a Chimp on a computer.
Most regional newspapers make absolute s**** out of ads. It’s where the failed designers end up.
Never ever give a local paper control over your ad copy or design.
