No, really.

122. You wish everyone ELSE would stop talking about your ovaries, especially as you never even mentioned them and when you referred to "love eggs" were actually talking about sex toys (in my head, this is somehow not as bad...) Do you HONESTLY think ANYONE would refer to their ovaries as "love eggs" Charlie Batchelor? Do I look like a 70s porn star?
123. You've peaked in terms of motivational speaking with 'Don't be shit'.
124. Thanks to Charlie for pointing out how rude this was and adjusting to 'Don't be shit, please'.
