More de Bono, I'd say. All that lateral finkin innit.

Meccano, Shirley?

Ford Prefect wasn't it..?

There's not a shred of evidence for that...

Hefty costs incurred, that's just about the only incidence carrying any merit. Silly bugger.

Ta for inputting this.

No it's not, fool.

Total nonsense. You're play to the crowd.

By jove I do believe you are correct, JW. She was the apple of his eye, a proper peach in her younger days. A fruitful marriage it was too.

Willie Nelson, famous for it...

that was Conibears, iirc.

I take it you're childless. No matter what you may say, or whichever set of statistics you choose to present, I personally will not go along with what I consider a biological lie. Not ever. It's like the medical profession has suddenly rejected biology. The whole medical ethos has caved-in to unrelenting pressure from ideologues who have threatened and cajoled. 'First, Do No Harm' seems a distant, forgotten oath. My last post in this thread, there is nothing to be discussed nor considered as far as I'm concerned. If you're happy and feel complete then honestly, I'm glad for you and respect your decision. Amen.

Man, I get all that and would not deny it to anyone. As I've said before, be all you want to be, straight up. My only objection, all along, has been the fervid experimentation with confused, dysphoric children. And the ensuing sense of entitlement which has developed along with the ideology. Oh, and keeping secrets from parents by invested teachers and the like. Something I believe you are all for, no?

@IOM What's with all the 'confused' emoji's, what're you trying to imply? It's a ridiculous practice and says more about you than anything else. Fool.

Well it's a "canal" of sorts but not a vagina in its true sense. Anorgasmic and often without sensation too, generally, and extremely vulnerable to a life-threatening infection, and requiring almost daily dilation. All that in the pursuit of an idealised version of 'womanhood' which may solely be down to autogynephilic desire. Man cannot be woman, can never 'feel' like a woman because he's never been, nor ever will be a woman, with or without his bits. I say this without directing any malice to you personally, be as you want to be if it makes you feel complete.

Is that supposed to be funny?

I wasn't aware of this, it's diabolical and should be sorted without unnecessary debate. It's unquestionable as I see it. Fucking grasping government.

On the plus-side, I'm quite enjoying the Shein adverts.

A quick search reveals that the methodology for collecting these percentages vary wildly depending on the source. None of them, including the figures you posted, are to be taken as any way accurate.

'Moll', Shirley?

Another half million worth in Skellynomical "real terms" advertising.

Apologies for not sharing your glee and ruining the mood...

Well yes but that's not our fault. We have a government that pisses in our faces and tells us it's raining. In which case, maybe we should be protesting against the shower like the French; thousands out on the streets, light some flares, smoke bombs, burn a few cars, break a few windows, get tear-gassed and water-cannoned. But no, we accept the shafting, un-lubed government strap-on really without so much as a whimper, except for a few dissenting voices from the wilderness, on here and other insignificant social media. Here, there's no difference between kneeling-down and bending-over we just do as we're told... We are still a nation of muttering, cap-doffing forelock-tuggers.

Even then, one has to be careful with the good manners, I once opened a door for a militant lesbian who said "how dare you!" Thought I was gonna get thumped!
