Well you can always vote for the racist fat fruitloop who makes up stories about being robbed. I’m sure she’ll make your life immeasurably better and will support your desire to give children lung disease.

You know, it's maybe just as well this is not a Scotch based Forum.  There's a possibility the Hate Thought Polis might be taking an interest in a remark like that.

Yep. As of April 1st ( and isn't that the right date!) Scotland will become a pound shop North Korea with its very own thought police. Forget about catching criminals that's not on the cards at all. Mind you the rest of the UK isn't much better.

[husoi]

that's pretty much what poleas Scotland is

I'm told that the polis are very keen on this. The idle sods can put in a full shift sitting on their arses listening to clypes and putting peoples' names in the book. Hence the poor souls who've just voiced their opinion will now officially have a police record.  Even if they know nothing about it until they ask to go to Disneyland in Florida with the weans. Sorry buddy, police record ?  Couldn't let you set foot on American Soil ! 

I'm also reliably (  do you believe that ?) informed that the polis are particularly interested in young unemployed white males who belong to groups with strong opinions. 

I'm sure that the Celtic supporting First minister of Scotland now has the Orange Lodge and Rangers supporters at the top of the list.

My, my, Orange parades are going to be rather dull affairs from now on.

[S-Westerly]

I thought they'd just about banned parades unless it meets a suitable degree of political correctness?

Aye, right !   When there's an Orange walk in Glasgow the majority of the polis are away getting ingrown toenails done, or haircuts or something. 

The truth is they're all away lurking in their various Lodges.  Masonic or Orange, frequently both !

[curlylegend]

Here, I'm getting out of here. This is getting to political for me !

If my wife gets wind of this, I'l be getting laldy !

Are you guys ready?

According to new proposal.

What I don't understand is that this is already in place...

New proposal states the legal obligation to have single sex toilets.

Although I wouldn't have any issues in standing in front of a urinal while a lady walks into a cubicle. It make me think that in a not too far future we will have toilets for:

transsexual men

Transsexual women

Bisexual men who don't identify as men

Bisexual women identifying themselves as not women

Gay men who are puritans and don't want to share toilets with straight men

Gay women, feminist claiming the right to not share toilet with a straight woman.

Then we will have toilets for people identifying as all kind of objects.

Not to forget the same as above for disable individuals.

 

We will end up with a building for toilets looking more like a premier Inn

 

Can we just have bushes both side of the road?

[Simon Davey]

Noooooo, it can't happen, I can't pee in front of other people...

Whenever it rains my back garden lawn becomes a lake. Now I have a water barrel and pump that deals nicely with the constant downpours but lately it doesn't seem to stop the flooding. I notice my neighbours shed has a water bowser doing similar but while they were out today I had a look at their arrangement. They have the tap on the bowser constantly open and draining into my garden. Must have a word tomorrow.

I have a fairly long garage that collects a lot of water, goes into a water butt to act as a buffer, the tap is open but it runs back the full length of the garage, under the concrete and into the main sewer.

 

I never thought about running it into next doors garden, would have been so much easier

My world is very simple.

 

Gentlemen pee against a tree.

 

Ladies pee behind a hedge.

 

Anyone wants to do anything in between just needs to watch out for the stinging nettles.

We refurbished our offices a couple of years ago, all the toilets are for the use of anyone, there is no male/female/penguins or what ever you want to be known by toilets, they are just toilets.  

Each toilet was like a personal changing room, no cubicles. Large in size with plenty of room to get changed. They cost a fortune, but well worth it. 

[Fiddlesticks]

We have male, female and gender neutral / confused.

 

Only some wag keeps picking one of the legs off the non binary stick man, and it now looks like we cater for one-legged lesbians.

Got a rant today, and it's about pressure to have kids. 

 

Recently, it feels like everyone I know is suddenly having them. Similar happened in my early 20s, with many of those kids now into their teen years. I'm guessing now in my mid-30's it's to be expected as the clock is ticking. But there's been this sudden uptick in pressure. 

 

Every time I go away on a holiday with my girlfriend, I usually get asked by at least one person if I'm popping the question, or squeezing in a holiday before trying for kids. And you'd think after 5 years, they'd get the hint. Which is, if I'm going to do it, I'll do it when I'm good and ready, and I probably won't tell them ahead of this point. My parents make comments as their friends get grandkids, which I understand more. 

 

Found out I was on the end of some gossip where someone suggested I might be stringing my good lady along with no real intention. Or that I could do what others they'd heard had done, run down the clock and change my mind last minute, and run back to single life. They just can't get their heads around why I don't want a screaming baby just yet. 

 

It didn't bother me too much being on the end of some gossip as most groups have some light form of it or another, but it made me cringe a lot as it's quickly reaching the level of conspiracy, and they know from my history that for a few years I declared I'd never have kids. I used to think it was just girls who got this kind of flack, but apparently having a plan to buy a house, get settled, have a couple more holidays before we go down that route is a highly suspicious move to some... 

 

Seems like it is mentioned every week or two. I've  hidden the fact I moved from a Ford Fiesta ST to a Kia Xceed recently as when I told a co-worker, he seemed genuinely perplexed that no baby was imminent, so I'm trying to keep the heat off. Less of a rant, more of a ramble, does anyone else have this? Or has anyone else had this in the past? 

[S-Westerly]

Not really and we had kids young which meant we were relatively young grandparents. I'd never pressurise anyone to have kids though as it's a personal choice and not everyone wants to be a parent. It's bloody hard work for a start - why do you think I buggered off to sea?
