    We can't call them men and we can't call them ginger. So, they are just bread?

    I wasn't offended last week. Why certain individuals suddenly take issue with something so innocuous is beyond pitiful.

    It will never end because companies/organisations etc are terrified of "offending" anyone and don't have the guts or the common sense to tell these idiot women to just bog off.

    That old adage about the lunatics taking over the asylum used to be just that, an adage. Now, it has become the reality.

    Fairy cakes were renamed as the americanised cup cakes because they were felt to be offensive.

    You ask about when PC nonsense will end - well this gender fluidity bollox I think will take a massive step back in 10/15 years when there is plenty of litigation cases from young adults suing parents/doctors for putting them on hormonal treatment when they were 5-10 years of age.

    In fairness they were never men. They had no man bits. No female bits either. Are they gender fluid? Come to think of it, they have to be the least offensive thing on the planet.

    Earlier this year,when we had the snow.

    Went for a walk, saw a Ginger Girl on a Sledge.

    She said, "Can you pull me?"





    I said, "Probably, but I'd have to be very, very drunk".

    =(:-) Me? I know who I am. I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude (-:)=
