Checking the Male

I wouldn't normally post something like this, but I've been so moved by the tales of woe from Tyranny-followers Ruby Tuesday and Reality Chick that it would be wrong not to share this information with them.

Girls, forget all this talk of a man drought, it's no longer a good excuse.

New figures show that there is not a shortage of men in WA but a dearth of women - and the situation is getting worse.

There are now 1.035 million men in WA compared with 1.026 million women, a mismatch between the sexes of 9397.

Just over a year ago, the difference was 6461 suggesting that the overall strength of the economy is sucking more men into WA than women.

All right, so a man surplus of 9397 isn't huge, but it's still a surplus and it's growing.

BA have flights for 2,283 pounds, Ms Tuesday, while Virgin Blue will get Reality Chick's lot over from Sydney for a far more affordable $309. Get packing.

There you go then: good deed done, warm feeling inside achieved.
