    Have any of you watched the video? Who the hell (other than a council) is going to employ the lemming on there? I like the line that 'political correctness gone mad' is not pc as it uses mad in a derogatory way. Since when was being mad seen as being a good thing? Some things in life are bad. If you speak to parents of a new born child about their aspirations for the sprog, how many say they would like thier little cherub to grow up with a fixation about knives and spend their days rocking and licking windows. None because being mad is a bad thing!

    I'm off to a gig at Manchester Uni in a few weeks. I can tell you know that I'm going to define myself as a woman trapped in the body of a man for that night only. It's not my fault that I have this gubbins between my legs. Perhaps when I go to the non gender specific bog I'll attempt to remove the offending item by vigorously trying to pull it off - if any fellow female students want to lend a hand then I'm well up for that - so long as she is not a munter like the lemming in the video!
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

          Correct! The only department that was any good was Engineering. But then BAe upped sticks and I think it went 100% trash after that.

          My most memorable essay question:
          A mate of mine did Humanities there (guffaw, etc.) and here's what he was supposed to do 5000 words on:

          "Can a chair turn into a crocodile?"

          It certainly trumped my organic chemistry assignments!!

          He ended up up doing Philosophy elsewhere and has never found a job in his life. Still, as another mate of mine said, "At least he can be philosophical about it!".

            Only with a sufficient quantity of LSD

            You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

              Can a chair turn into a crocodile
              Literally, figuratively or metaphorically ?
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              C.S. Lewis

                  Read in one of the Tube s**t sheets this morning that the moronic Welfare officer Jennie Killip takes issue with "political correctness gone mad":

                  Interviewer: Is this political correctness gone mad?

                  JK: I think “political correctness gone mad” is in itself an un-politically-correct term […]

                  I: Why?

                  JK: Because using the term ‘mad’ in a derogatory fashion is, er, disablist


                  The tw@t.
