Hmmm, sounds like it. Are you a keen downloader of stuff, especially via torrent?

It's happened a few time on the forum. I hope this is taken as a cautionary tale. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/oct/29/vigilante-murder-paedophile-bristol-bijan-ebrahimi

It was the 'guardian standing shoulder to shoulder with the mail' comment you seemed surprised about.

There are quite a number of journos that have worked for both rags. 20 pieces of silver and they'll knock up 1000 words on anything I suppose.

I've just come back from a few months in SE Asia and we used MASTA (http://www.masta-travel-health.com/). Basically, you register with them and the do an telephone consultation then email you a report showing the mandatory and recommended vaccinations. It costs something like ?20 for the consultation, but you get that back on your inoculation costs. They're good at telling you which are available on the NHS, so you only have to pay for the ones you need to. Don't be afraid to say no to some of the recommended - I didn't bother with rabies or Japanese encephalitis as the risk seemed pretty low (and rabies wasn't full protection - you still needed to be treated if you got bitten). After you get the report and decide what you want, they will book you into a clinic (mostly situated in Boots store, IIRC) and you pop in and they do them there. In short, I thought they were pretty good.

I think this is the right place for this... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/waitrose-top-for-organic-vegetables-customer-service-and-milfs-2013043067123

Really? I never let barstewards get away with this sort thing. Matter of principal. Besides, who has ?80 (?) to chuck around?

Take it to parking appeals tribunal, they almost certainly clear you. You could also take it to the press and embarrass the council for being so stupid.

It's a standard way of surreptitiously posting spam links. Admin should hopefully be along shortly to remove it.

12/20. Sadly, a couple of times I not only knew it was an Ikea product, I knew which one. Oh, the shame.

Is that not obvious to you?

I'll give an example from Frankie Boyle: They?ve bought out a condom now for people with premature ejaculation and they?ve put an anesthetic in the lining that makes you numb and you can last for longer. Or, you can wear it inside out and you don?t have to wake anybody up! There are jokes and there are jokes. Some people get upset about people using the word 'frape'.

Why has that reduced their carbon emissions so much? Surely it's just another fossil fuel being burnt?

I'm fairly sure you have at least one chromosome in common with every human. And who you choose to share you chromosomes with is, frankly, your own business...! But assuming you meant they are also male, I'm tempted to ask ... how do you know?

Obviously the ED clowns are on holiday. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/24/mexico-clown-convention-drug-cartel-killing

But semantics is exactly my point!

a fish Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > ... posted by dickless little boys from the safety of their stinking bedrooms Yeah, see that language like that doesn't really help your argument, does it? But, your definitions posted above are absolutely correct, your use of them not correct. 'Hatred of a woman' is not the same as 'hatred of women'. And that is pretty much the crux of my point.

Still not misogynistic. Sexist comments, perhaps, but not misogyny. Besides, how does it compare with just about every X-factor contestant... male or female? Or even anyone who ever went on ANY reality programme? How does it sit with comments about Ben Cohen on Strictly? Or Jeremy Clarkson? Or even the Boris article in the Guardian last week? Loads of sexism - but not misogyny/misandry.

Well, not mistaking it for the word 'sexist' for a start, if indeed that is actually necessary. So, to answer your question: not at all, in this case.

I know. Sounds exhausting. Biscuit, anyone?

"Oooh - came and look at the misogyny inherit in the system!!" Well, she's got a future writing for the Guardian, anyway. They're always looking for writers who can misuse the m-word wherever possible.

Reminds me of a few years ago at the Palmerston when I sent a bottle of wine back that was corked (*really* badly). Another member of staff sent it back to our table and said it was the 'style of wine'. Staff like that you don't need. (And, yes, I sent it back again.)

I suspect it is whichever one has embraced the most nuclear power.
