Whatever do they mean?

"Commission unveils new arsenal in fight for EU-wide sex equality"

What do they mean? Are they Arsene about? Wenger will it happen?

Could Softie /Windy incorporate into the Cartland thread?

jay,

Gosh. To think that the great Jay, heroin(e) of the best selling thread todate, spoke to me!

But I think we've had this conversation before. Me Ma still lives in St Peter's Ave.

Oh bugger its St Micheal I am thinking about. Wrong saint sorry !

St Michael eh? His church is on Westoe Road and his shop on King Street.

But yer actual St Peter - he were in a different Saint's league. St Michael is merely bourgeouise - St Peter (the Ship Inn and the Vig) are outstandingly posh. So me ma says.

Yeah I used to live at the back of The Old Ship in the posh bit! ;o)

Der - sand-dancer - now I get it. Must get out more. It's bad enough being in a wheely bin, but having to keep trying to undo the ropes as well, each time I want to go out, is a real pain.

The ropes are there so you can't get out mate!! ;o)

Light the blue touchpaper and retire immediately ...

"Commission unveils new arsenal in fight for EU-wide sex equality"

Have you noticed how all policy aimed at achieving sex-equality makes the problem even more inequitable by heaping yet more advantages on women?

Or any other group which is supposedly being discriminated against at the time. At it seems that way in the States.

The news in Boston this week is about the MBTA (local public transport authority) spent $8000 dollars building a special private bathroom for one of their employees who is in the process of a sex change and doesn't feel comfortable in either a men's or women's bathroom. Give me a break! A stall is a stall is a stall, no matter what the sign on the door says. ;-)

Bliddy Hell! Some b*stad's left the seat up again...etc etc etc

Why is it that fellas don't whinge about the seat being left down? That's right, we're fine and noble and spend our time contemplating the higher planes of the human condition, inaccessible to the weaker sex! [sprints towards the Anderson Shelter as the WI Airforce start loading their bomb racks]

Ummm...like entertaining the cat by flushing a perfect good, unused toilet roll?! Really now, Softie. Anyway, if toilet seats were meant to be in the up positions, they wouldn't be a part of the toilet in the first place. :-)

Hey Ciara.....over here they aren't......you buy them seperately and attach them......so that particular arguement is stuffed!

Besides whichm it's TERRIBLY uncouth to say "toilet". One says "loo" or "lavatory". NEVER "toilet".

-- Anonymous, June 07, 2000

"toilet" not to be confused with signs saying "To Let" -- something once done by a couple of Americans on the Airbus from Heathrow. One of them was amazed at how many "toilets" Londond seemed to have. Until his friend pointed out the mistaken reading. Jet lag is a fun thing! And no, it wasn't me...I was sitting a few rows ahead giggling. ;-)

Let me get this straight Jay. The ropes aren't there for my comfort and safety, which is the delusion under which I've been labouring up to now, and, in light of the astronomically high regard in which I'm obviously held, the inconvenience of which, I've been prepared to tolerate.

To precis the above literary diarrhoea, basically YOU LIED. I am devastated. -)
