    It's where you gatecrash a wedding wearing a balaclava and a skirt, hop the bar and swipe a bottle of sambuca, then while making your escape with the bar staff and best man in pursuit, slip on the dancefloor revealing your genitalia to the wedding guests. You yell "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" as appropriate to the bride's mother before bailing out the fire escape.

    More than 200 people were airlifted to safety over the weekend after becoming trapped by a fire at a popular camping area.
    A wildfire that has destroyed more than 7,000 acres and forced 3,000 people to leave their homes was started by a firework at a baby's gender reveal party, firefighters have said.

    Where the feck is the good news in any of that?

    It's where posh people reveal to there friends what gender the baby they just had is. Its quiet ned. Only heard of it recently mumyself and thamought it was for something else you maybe a women or man wanting to reveal that they had maybe swapped gender to there friends and family.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Why are they nonsense? Just seems to me like the equivalent of a baby shower where parents tell friends what their having.

    I imagine there is a thread on the boards.ie equivalent in a different country talking about how Irish people who distance themselves from the Catholic Church, have christens which are just in reality a piss up for parents coming to terms with the faces their social lives have been curtailed forever

    Because the parents are assuming the gender of their child.

    Think good news story vs good news story. I think the OP means the latter.
