Do you think a discreet snigger would get you busted?

In reality, almost certainly not...

But Section 4A and Section 5 of the Public Order Act are quite wide ranging and basically means saying anything that somebody else takes offence to (in a public place).

In practice, it has to be something pretty extreme before the CPS will look at it.

Techically I think she bats for both sides.

She looks better than most of the lesbians I've been looking at.

Looks like Simon Singh tried to get his leg over? Is that when she allegedly turned lesbian?

On 30 September 2005, Melua came under criticism in The Guardian from writer and scientist Simon Singh for the lyrics of the track "Nine Million Bicycles". Melua's disputed lyrics were:
“ We are 12 billion light-years from the edge. That's a guess - no-one can ever say it's true, but I know that I will always be with you. ”

They were interpreted by Singh as an assault on the accuracy of the work of cosmologists which sparked a series of letters from other Guardian readers, agreeing or disagreeing. On 15 October, Melua and Singh appeared on the BBC's Today programme, and Melua unveiled a re-recording of the song which included Singh's tongue-in-cheek amendments to the lyrics:
“ We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe, That's a good estimate with well-defined error bars, And with the available information, I predict that I will always be with you. ”

Both sides amicably agreed that the new lyrics were less likely to achieve commercial success, amidst a discussion about scientific accuracy versus artistic licence.

Is she one? I could only think of Ellen Deg-wasserface, and KD Lang. Isn't Ellen going out with Portia thingy?

I'm not great with names.

In Wales they come to work dressed as sheep. They don't like you laughing at them.

A cross dresser isn't necessarily homosexual so would the discrimination laws apply? Why is it any different to me turning up at work in my old gardening trousers cos I'm a scruffy old git?

Interesting these laws, what if an originally male Transexual, now a woman, felt like cross dressing and turned up as a man and then said he was lesbian? If you sniggered you could presumably get done four times because a bloke looked and acted like a bloke.

PS I tried the missus's nickers on once but it felt very lonely in there, like being in an empty sports stadium.

Maybe not by the public order act but looking at some of the transexuals in Manchester a hard punch in gob wouldn't be too unusual and definately something to be avoided.

If you will overdo the eyeliner NL!!!!

If it was a gay psycho in a wheelchair it would raise a smile from me. I stand behind them and whisper their name quietly and in in the style of Kenneth Williams

'ooooo Sasguru'

[MarillionFan]

However, at a stretch, you might be nailed under Section 5, Public Order Act.
