A tale of weirdness in the Midlands:

Nice to see that the student unions still wouldnt know what's important and what isnt if their lives depended on it.

Ah, how I remember the echoing cry around the union building...



"Socialist Worker"....


Is that still going I wonder?

I learned a new word.
Disablist.

Or is it Disable-ist?

Well why not? I don't have a urinal at home and I think I'm not alone in that.

Oh yes. www.socialistworker.org

Actually there's quite a good article on the Obama-McCain debate in this issue. A lot of crap too, of course.

Oh, I don't have a problem with shared facilities. I think women should skip the line and use the gents at sporting events and I regularly take a disabled female into the gents. Nonetheless the green haired Davinia Spart is bonkers.

Yes you do. In the domestic environment it has a different name.

"Sink".

Don't tell me you haven't.

OMG I'd quite forgotten the use of that name.
I've not seen the 'Eye' for a few years now...aside from the little on the website.

"Women's officer Jennie Killip told the BBC: "If you were born female, still present quite feminine, but define as a man you should be able to go into the men's toilets - if that's how you define.
"You don't necessarily have had to have gender reassignment surgery, but you could just define yourself as a man, feel very masculine in yourself, feel that in fact being a woman is not who you are."


Christ. This woman is at University??!! Maybe she's a just bit confused.... time of the month or something ...

FFS, if you feel that way and live in the real world, how big an affront can the name on the door of the convenience of your choosing be? And how long will it be before a significantly larger number of complaints are received that lots of drunken men are crashing the "toilet" (without urinal) through alcohol fueled inability to understand the finer points of genderless politics.

TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS, that's the problem. Take away the union politicos sabbatical positions and make them study for their degrees during their year long ego trips and this kind of nonsense would ,maybe, be less common? On the other hand if it keeps them out of the general population maybe its for the best...

Ah.

Plausible denial escapes me at the moment.

there's that old saw, isn't there: "there are two kinds of men in the world: those that piss in the sink, and liars."

I'm afraid that I'm reminded of a time about 35 years ago, when we'd just changed flats and after a jolly good evening at the pub, I felt the urge in the night.

Unfortunately the sink wasn't quite in the same place as the other one.

Mrs_C was very understanding.

Or so I prefer to believe.

Women would too, if the sink was low enough, or their legs long enough.

There's a definition of a gentleman, someone who gets out of the bath to pee.

Holy crabs. Yesterday I was a man. Today I feel like a woman, so I shall define myself as a woman, Tomorrow I'll be back to being a red blooded male so I'll define myself as a man on Wednesday.

Kinda the way it ought to be right ? Flexible fun, free, fandango, flaky.

Nutters. Jobs for overpaid idiots with no other skills but to BS and leech the nation....

Wanted: Part time opening for one-legged Spanish speaking transgendered public toilet usage analyst.
Experience in cottaging preferred.

R.

Oh I miss university. Not being able to buy a bic pen 'cause they're French.
No Nestle chocolate products ( what the *** is Carob anyway? it sure aint chocolate!)

Ben arguing with the guy selling the socialist worker . Apparently Ben was the victim of an oppresive regime! Lets just say the socialist worker guy came off considerably worse in THAT debate!

Our Student Union really were crap !
