If you were a male offering babysitting services, people would automatically (whether their bias is unconscious or not) think you are a paedo. Same reason the VAST majority of primary school teachers, cub scout leaders, etc. are now female.

I really struggle with the stance the ASA is taking. "Harmful gender stereotypes" : what "harm" is being caused by showing a man being crap at looking after a baby? And what actual "harm" is caused (and to whom) by depicting the real-world scenario that a man is off rock-climbing while the woman...

Is that just guessing stuff?

A colleague of mine showed me a meme (is that a thing?) that had a picture of a steak, with the text that read "VEGANS: i killed and ate this cow as it was stealing your food. You're welcome!!" Made i larff!!!

UBU is one of my favourite ales, but Mad Goose is totally different and equally wonderful!

That term is pervading the UK workplace as well, Gaz. What about all the talentless wankers they "acquire"? But also, the number of jobs that are supposedly "Engineers", when they don't have a clue how to engineer anything. They are technicians or operatives. In Germany, you don't get to call...

Absolutely agree with you here, McB! I can't even abide the sound of her voice, and often turn over/off when she is on. Yesterday she was giving the Minister for Justice a proper grilling, making out she was an expert of penal reform and the justice system. She is too biased to work for the BBC...

I love Purity's range of ales, but just saw this, and thought i may need to reconsider what i drink. How many more of our "sworn enemies" are they teaming up with? First W*sps, now the V*lla!!

No iFollow tonight, and you can't listen to league games via the BBC outside the UK. Don't know about other options.

As others have said, you are not allowed to drive over a pavement that doesn't have a dropped kerb to access your property. You have to talk to the County Council for permission, and you have to use one of the contractors on the council's list (in Worcestershire, you have to use Ringway, Full...

The easiest approach of all would be to change the archaic law, and allow physios onto the pitch to treat players while the game goes on. Play-acting will then cease, as they know it won't waste game time. The ref will blow the whistle if the treated player is in the way of the game, restarting...

Maybe i was misremembering early reports of how well he was doing. I consider myself told! Post removed to avoid further ridicule!

I'm still in fucking therapy for that game! A foggy Sunday afternoon in West Yorkshire. We were coasting that season under Pressley (despite playing in front of small crowds at Sixfields), having wiped out the 10 point administration deduction in the first 4 games (IIRC). We were romping that...

Is it worth asking BWFc the question??

It's probably worth finding out asap how many "points" you're worth to the employment market, so you can immigrate in your own right and apply for jobs, etc. Don't know what Oz has that Brizzle ain't, moy luvver!

It's a bit ridiculous. There is a concrete wall separating the Kop from the away end, and the two are not connected! You'd have to have a hell of an arm to hoy stuff at the away fans from block 37. Almost as absurd a safety decision as Sunderland putting away fans directly above their own!

I'm not advocating giving us a walkover, but it doesn't provide adequate preparation for anyone (fans, players, police, etc.). The EFL should grow a pair (again!) and announce it is postponed to a date TBC.
