Thus it cannot be used as a reason to let lose with the Uzi that you don't have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't this the norm? Not that I catch buses but whenever I have I just toss a couple of quid in and say single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why I liked this post but I did! Makes me realise I'm not that bad after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All detracts credibility from people who truly are suffering real issues related to gender. Stumbled across a list of genders on Tumblr not that long ago, must be over a hundred. http://genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/gender/ My personal favourite: Verangender - "A gender that seems to shift/change the moment it is identified" What a time to be alive. Exactly, if someone is suffering from gender dysphoria then they have my sympathies but all these bullshit genders that people label themselves with are nothing more than attention seeking. Non binary? Genderfluid? Pangender? Just a load of bollocks. That story I was talking about where someone felt as though they were being discriminated against because they couldn't open a bank account because the form asks whether you are a male or female and as they don't identify with any gender, they couldn't answer therefore not submit their form. I suggest they (the term non binaries like to be called) look at their birth certificate as that will give you the answer you need and until that changes, that's what it is. It shouldn't piss me off but it does, so its perfect for this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlwaysAVFC Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Exploring the new building at work today I found a door with mixed gender shower on it. I was very disappointed to see it was a single shower room with a lock on the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A silly drink and an annoying advert. But have you seen the state of adverts these days? That probably isn't even in my 20 most annoying this year.

mjmooney Posted May 4, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Our running club has one set of showers (open plan style). Men and women just have to take turns with them ("Anybody in there?" "No, do come in", etc.) One of the women actually said she'd be happy to just share, if it would save time. Oh boy, would it not.

Not a patch on this My kids go round singing this advert because of me and in fact I have bought some Kia Ora for them. Not in square cartons from the cinema though whilst the Pearl and Dean song blares away.

AVFC_Hitz Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Here's one I've just thought of in my drunken haze. Overseas there's absolutely no concept of signing the back of your debit/credit card. I was in the Halifax last week in kings heath paying off a chunk of my overdraft and she asked for the account card. I handed it to her and she suddenly went all dark arts secret service shit on me and asked if this was really my card...because it wasn't signed. Even though she had my passport in her left hand. She told me to fill a whole A4 page with my signature. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advert per se doesn't piss me off, as someone else has said later adverts generally are bl00dy awfull, many utterly meaningless and loads pretentious (pretty much any perfume ad) but the Ribena advert did piss off loads of people in my office last week when after a conversation about this advert I got the silly song in my head and repeatedly sang it all day long. I was lucky to get out alive In the end. Fortunately I have forgotten how it goes now or my Mrs who is trying to watch Death in Paradise would be liberally beating me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
