The woman I saw on the telly the other day said they were there to offer support/alternatives rather than harass/intimidate I always feel as if when I see someone talking about this sort of thing as if they're acutely aware the whole time that they're peddling vile shite but don't want to admit it. It's really weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find a lack of rationality, particularly on major issues, to be a worry. It’s true. I didn’t know about until this year when the law was changed. Some things simply cannot be dealt with by rationale though. With certain things in life if you did , you wouldn't sleep at night. Religion as a coping mechanism in these circumstances makes sense IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want this develop into a tedious exchange (though some will say it already has), but I cannot endorse the view than an adult using fantasy as a coping method for reality is a good or positive thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get out of it that easily! What do you think coping mechanisms are? They're effectively a fantasy that help the user detach themselves from the reality of a situation in order to cope. The key is not to lose yourself from reality within the fantasy permanently. I personally don't use religion but have used other forms of coping mechanisms to productive effects. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Not really petty, but the fact that religious fuckwits say that they will continue to harass women looking for councilling and help from an abortion clinic in London where the local council has been obliged to introduce a buffer zone to keep these fucking halfwits at bay. They are having a referendum over here to allow abortion. The anti ads are up already. A 9 week ultra sound with I kick and burp - I'm alive... I wonder where they got the 9 week scan as its a pain in the tits for getting a 12 week scan here. So long as they don't try to force their beliefs on others. Apparently until this year it was illegal for pubs in the RoI to open on Good Friday. And in the shops. I couldn't believe it last year I could not buy beer and wine with my weekly shop. This year there was a few tuts in the queue but I wasn't fussed.Religion is weird. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 13 minutes ago, Hedgecutter said: Had a bit of a tidy up this morning and uncovered a muddy daysack that I've used for hillwalking / caving for the past few months. Contents of which were: 1x mildly soggy sock, 1x Silva compass, 1x squashed white chocolate/cranberry cookie, bureau de change envelope containing US$420 in hard currency, 2x flight detail print outs and 1x rotten satsuma. Productive morning, although I'm raging with myself about that overlooked money from December tbh. Question is: convert and bank, keep until the exchange rate becomes more favourable (whenever that may be), or just keep until a holiday sometime? People who have so much money that they forget that they have foreign currency stashed away somewhere. If I'm ever fortunate enough to come home with any currency left over, changing it back is one of the first things I do! Also, svchost.exe process on my laptop going over 2 million K usage. I've had to stop the process 12 times this morning already, just to keep my laptop functional. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm still raging with myself about this FWIW ('First World Problems' etc etc). Anyway, another PTTGOYN of the day is when you start pishing into a urinal and the flush automatically comes on, needlessly making you worry about the possibility of a pish-filled waterfall and soggy pish-splashed shoes for the rest of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the new "no water" ones, which in my experience seem to be a standard urinal, which utterly reeks of pish due to the baffling "no water" feature. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When (as at my work) you find yourself having to make do with an old school, non highpowered hand dryer. The type that sounds like a harrier taking off whilst delivering an amount of air roughly the same as a dormouse farting, but hotter than the core of the sun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find old hand dryers don't even dry your hands, merely manoeuvres the water around your hands and up your arms. The Dyson Airblades are excellent and should be mandatory in all public lavatories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
