    @mariner4life I assumed the extra one was one a week for 52 weeks plus birthday? I'm sure at some points in my life I had those numbers but whos been taking up the slack and keeping the average up since then on my behalf?

    Also I was thinking about this...I mean discussing it with a friend and was wondering ...I mean he was wondering how many there'd actually be if you took nine off the years total?

    It's ok boys. Think positive and show the Mrs this, it's on the interweb so definitely true.

    Soo AUT has created 165 "All-Gender" bathrooms. To apparently make all students feel safe when using the bathroom regardless of gender.

    Nice and dishonest about it too which is not surprising. Apparently being attacked verbally or physically is really common for transgender students when using the bathroom. I had no idea AUT had such a bad problem with students being assaulted when trying to take a piss......

    They've also tried to claim that most of these 165 bathrooms are self-contained mobility bathrooms. So I know people that go to AUT and what they've actually done is convert a bunch of female toilets to "all-gender" toilets. They've left the male toilets alone. This to make going to the toilet "safe for all students". Let the stupidity of that sink in for a second. Females that used to have a safe environment to go an do their business now see an "all-gender" sign on the door and think "fuck that there's probably guys in there now, I'll have to find somewhere else to go".

    Not to mention the disabled toilets, specially designed for people with disabilities, will now have queues as anybody can suddenly freely use them. But fuck disabled people, it's those "gender-fluid" people that we really care about!

    I am getting pretty sick of this ridiculous debate on gender. This is some next level virtue signalling from AUT, "fixing" a problem that doesn't exist in an effort to look morally superior. With real consequences for their female students, you know, the people that make up more than half of their population, as well as disabled students.

    Honestly people can "identify" as a fucking cat for all I care, but that doesn't make them a cat, and when it comes to things like bathrooms, or that little thing called the law, they won't be seen as a cat, they'll be seen as a male or female human being. And rightly so. AUT can get fucked.

    Surely if they just painted the disabled toilets to make the point it would serve the purpose? They are usually standalone one off setups anyway. I don't buy into the case for having them 'disabled only'. The point of them is that they are accessible and set up for disabled not that they are to stand there not being used until the proportionately small part of that population that requires them can use them without waiting.
    You then still get a 'safe space' for men and women and a space that everyone can use without fear.

    (unless of course a certain AB is around and taking his time finishing of some chick at which point you can record the event and tell the papers)

    Very tough to tell what sex the person in the picture is too. A heinous minga or a slightly effeminate looking fat fluffybunny? Marketing genius right there.

    Definitely recommend it if you're into historical fiction. I'm a massive fan of clavell, igguldon, Cornwell etc...

    Different strokes I guess, though the ending did leave a little to be desired.

    Thats exactly the criticism I've heard from many people about James Clavell who is one of my favourite authors.

    I really enjoy her descriptive style of writing.

    Confession.. I never finished it. Got about 100 pages from the end and lost the will to read . One of the most boring books I have ever read (or not quite read in this case)

    @MN5 however you spell it, he is still a cnut...I just don't often say the word and liked the fluffybunny filter, so I spell it cnut as it doesn't get picked up by my mailmarshall, and do so out of habit...but I like @booboo spelling better!

    Smith said that he had ongoing issues with self esteem and confidence...

    I'm not fucking surprised. A bit more reflection and he might realise that baldness is the least of his problems.
