The womens toilets are usually much worse than the mens, especially pubs, clubs and fast food places. For some reason a lot of women just turn into filthy scum after a lot of booze. I remember there was a lot of difficulty getting a venue for our school graduation ball back in 91. There'd been a trend of girls trashing the ladies toilets for some bizarre reason
A lot of the lads hid booze in the shrubbery outside the hotel, and then weren't allowed to leave the hotel all night, I had a naggin of bacardi strapped to my thigh with a garter, forward planning ya see;):D0 -

Haha! Tbh Davey of all the jobs I've had and the different careers I've gone into, I never got into the one career I really wanted more than anything - I failed the medical to get into the Army because of the gammy hip. Most of them were part-time minimum wage jobs two and three jobs at a time to pay my way through school and go on to college (left home at 16, stayed on in school to do my leaving cert, couldn't qualify at the time for the grant for college as I was still assessed under my parent's income), by the time I graduated and landed a job in an IT multi-national at 23 I'd racked up 26 jobs (counted them with a mate one night), various different roles as I got promoted in the ten years I was with the company, running my own IT consultancy, more university and various courses and voluntary work in parallel, effectively three jobs, then left the company at 33 after I'd a mild heart attack, decided just to keep myself busy with my business, but couldn't stay away from voluntary work, so combined the three (my love of all things tech and IT related, my business skills, and my voluntary work) to offer my services for free to those that need them.
My wife figures I'm more Forrest Gump than Homer Simpson though...

There's a video going round today of Nico Rosberg doing a lap of Silverstone, in his new F1 car, which doesn't sound that remarkable. It's a 360 degree video, though: you can move the (virtual) camera, zoom in an out, which is great.
The thing is: there's a Twitter hashtag on his car, #KeepFightingMichael, which is to wish Michael Schumacher well as he recovers from his serious head injury. It's also great ... except that, if read literally, it's telling us to Keep Fighting Michael. Why, what did he ever do to me, that I should keep fighting him?
What it should say is "Keep Fighting, Michael". That single comma fixes the meaning of the phrase. But there's no room for a comma in a Twitter hashtag ...You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
―Oscar Wilde predicting Social Media, in The Picture of Dorian Gray
