People saying ‘on Netflix’. Eg have you seen blah blah on Netflix?

It’s not cool and hip you know!

Have you seen Match of the Day on BBC1?
Have you seen The Chase on ITV?

Bit crazy innit.

Have you seen 'Debbie does Palace' on Pornhub ?

It's the Partridge in yer Pear tree you've got to worry about.

Well it's quicker than saying, 'It's not on Amazon, Apple, Disney, Sky, Iplayer, ITV Hub, All 4', etc, etc.

Also it saves people asking what channel its on.

I'm more worried about the 12 drummers to be honest!

I live in Crawley, which is not the best place in the world and has its fair share of simpletons. However, in the last few weeks I've spent a fair bit of time in a place called Corringham, in Essex, due to work. There must be some dodgy shit in the water here because a good 60% of the residents are thicker than treacle. Very odd and after a while, very annoying.

Corringham and Stanford no hope are strange places indeed. Basically reclaimed maeshland.

Your mountain - are you from The Waltons?

I own a big chunk of mountain, olives and almonds. We have been hoping for rain, but not the high winds. On my third cup of tea, no chance of sleeping in this.

Having a possum run across your motel room roof at 3 in the morning. Like a bloke in army boots.

Do possums run? I thought they were rather slow moving animals.

Not the ****ers over here. And they make weird screeching noise.

Do you often have blokes in army boots visiting you in motel rooms?

Are you sure it wasn't a drop bear?

Train station with no ticket office open, no real people

Were you born in 1676 or something?

Were there trains in 1676?

No they can't get off of the roof.

The Transgender thread getting pulled.

I was quite enjoying it, but there were some shenanigans so I suspect it was the swots' only option since they have actual lives outside the BBS.

He's not you.

I was in the middle of posting. Was it something I said/was going to say/was thinking....... ?

^^^^

As was I. It’s for the birds now.

It was just getting interesting.

**** all that birds with todgers nonsense.

Two whole pages I missed…

Soz

I have never seen a bird’s todger.

No humour allowed now.....you know the rules.

I really don't think it was you! You appeared to be a rare voice of reason, whereas I was mainly taking the piss out of beardy types like O'Hpalace. A couple of nameless BBSers seemed to be taking very OT things far too seriously, and I'm not even talking about the drooling adult-diapered halfwit cr for a change.

Least I know where to find you now. :hi:

Might put it in my sig..

Suspect there might be a queue of people forming to give me a slap. :love:

It’s not a beard; it’s designer stubble.

Same here. Most detailed BBS post I'd ever composed. And now lost to the ether!

I was more thinking our winged friends :D

You are clearly a f~cking idiot in that case. Our avian chums do not have todgers or fannies, but cloacae (cloacas?) which they do all their ghastliness in and out of. Utter filth.

Over ear headphones which people wear walking down the street, totally oblivious to what’s going on around them as if they’ve had 11 pints.

Yep, and the Highway Code has been amended to accommodate their wretched behaviour at road junctions.

Dirty bastards(and I did know that :)). More importantly should they be allowed to compete in sport given their ghastliness?

Transgender threads disappearing.

What happened, as I had departed for the land of nod?

Shame. I thought it was a good, educative thread. So I agree ; what happened?,

Someone got so wound up about it they were offering someone else out.

It was annoying but I think it’s for the greater good. You would have thought people would be awake to where violence and threats of violence take humanity, by now. There has to be no tolerance for that kind of crap.

Agreed but surprised a redacted version is not back up. It was, as Maz said a good educational thread with wide participation. Plus I still need to call WCB out on his poor maths.

I thought you’d only listed four discrete types - did I miss some?

Any thread is good for giving wcb a kicking.

It was a zero sum game framed by people calling each other out for fights.

Throw in a few eye level bramble vines for good measure and I'm with you.

Yes. Even if we take your correction to be true (which I was happy to do) there were still (at least) 6.

Male het
Female het
Male gay
Female gay
Bisexual (male and female)
Asexual (male and female)

Male and female hets, gays, bisexuals and asexuals are not the same gender so discounting your correction there are still at least 6 but probably 8 as far as the science is concerned.

There were only two people doing that. The rest of it was the normal robust but relatively polite conversation we normally see. Redacting the shit and putting the thread back up seems to me to be sensible (but I appreciate it’s an unpaid job and a sunny Saturday so if it were me I would do it when I could be arsed to do so).

Oh, here he is - the Kwik Save Flashman.

That’s either four or eight, surely? Anyway this is going super-off topic and I should probably check up on my covid-riddled missus, who caught said ague in some frightful-sounding third world hellhole called “Ireland”.

My gay friends would strongly disagree that bisexuals are a gender. In fact they would reject any such a rigid taxonomy ; it's a continuum, they would say.

I think it’s eight but it was listed like 6.

Hope the Mrs is ok and best wishes to her.

I’m fairly sure that a gay male attracted to only males is distinct sexually from a male attracted to both females and males. I do appreciate your friends perspective that being gay encompasses bisexuals in a day to day outlook but scientifically speaking their sexual preferences are quite distinct and of different genders.

This is rather good - your own?

Agreed. Debates even are needed even if heated for us all to test our views, why was it removed?

I wonder if it was a ‘progressive’ who was threatening violence?

Regardless of their viewpoint, they should of been banned, rather than the thread removed.

The rigidity of this approach ignores the fact that people can and do change in their sexuality as necessity dictates.


Take the well annotated example of those male heterosexual long-term prisoners, who turn to homosexuality as an outlet whilst they are incarcerated. They move along, (and most often back upon release) a continuum ; they do not change 'gender'.

And in the animal world of course there are many examples of animals changing gender when necessary.

I knew you would cop out when I asked you to name 7 of the easily noticeable 15 genders. If they are so easy, why pick 2 we all know in heterosexuality, you could have easily named some other ones, to bring our attention to them, as we are not talking about the established 2 genders when we are having this conversation.

I quoted the article listing them, debatably at least 8 but arguably 14 (you only asked me for 7). Not my fault the thread was pulled ffs :D

I don’t disagree that gender can be fluid and people (as well as other animals) can move between the genders. From a science perspective I’m not sure why this would disqualify titling the genders people move about in?

Because such a system tends to suggest absolutes, when such rigidity does not exist.

Does it? Surely it just highlights the fluidity of gender. One minute you can be male het and given a different circumstance you can be male gay before becoming male het again. The chances are someone that does that is bi but social indoctrination prevents them from accepting their own gender.

The titles aren’t wrong as such.

I have to say, I think Maz is not altogether mistaken on this question.

Thank you.You cheeky cow! Statistically speaking after how ever many thousands posts it was pretty much inevitable that I would come up with something vaguely amusing. Who knows - perhaps the same thing will happen to Reps AJ one day?

I don’t think it’s right or wrong to be honest as I also think you can be primarily het but a bit bi. Or gay and a bit by. You could be asexual but still have sex. The titles are simply the titles but there is certainly crossover and fluidity between them.

Isn't it oh so polite here today, what happened?:D

This does prove that a sensible mature debate can happen without focusing on who the poster is and focusing on what the poster has actually factually said rather than just being prejudicial to the poster because he is not your cup of tea.

Nice to see:D

I did not remove the other nasty thread by the way.

Your mention of 'fluidity' made me think. I suppose it is possible for H2O to be water, to be solid (ice), or to be a gas, all in different circumstances.


And there the labelling does help us. I suspect that I am resisting the notion that people should be labelled, however ; let them identify where they themselves are on the spectrum, yes, but let's resist the temptation to assign everyone we meet to one of your fifteen (?) genders. I don't know what it achieves.

Get bent, moosef~cker :love:

Every so often the BBS throws up a post that actually makes you think (rather than just think the poster is an idiot :)).

I try and stay out of this debate as I think it's an incredibly complex area full of subtlety in terms of how people are, how they choose to identify and how society is.

I notice you've defined gender there based on sexual orientation (if that's the right phrase). Is that the definition? Genuinely interested.

Every so often the BBS throws up a post that actually makes you think the poster is an idiot (rather than just think).

(Just try and failing to do a funny)

Ah, maybe that's my problem. Should the two - gender and orientation - be kept separate?

BA tannoy message as I was boarding a flight that all passengers should wear a face mask and one would be provided if required. Air crew not wearing them so within 30 minutes loads of people stop wearing them.

The thread should be reopened as it’s clear posters want to talk about it, just ban the ones that threaten violence, why should the debate stop? It has just moved on to this thread.

That would be my take on it (fwiw)

England v Ivory Coast only on Sky.

Except for a certain mod who fires off personal attacks when the inconsistencies in his views are highlighted, before shutting down debate completely. Live and let cancel, I say.

LOL :love:

h_k_hg, yesterday:

:confused:

Yes I believe it is. Sex defines male and female whereas gender defines orientation as well as (more traditionally) male and female.

This thread being hi-jacked by the political brigade. They were given their own forum and they still wanted more. God forbid they're going to go for Memory Lane next. They screwed up the Biden thread now they're on here screwing up one of the few decent threads left. Start a new thread and leave the rest of us to moan about the price of potatoes in Liddle's.

Yeah, fair enough, John.

I am annoyed by the constant utter shitness of everything about our local Co-op if that helps?

I also predict that post #44,501 will be slightly irksome as well.
