In the news

^^ Really? I definitely feel smug about getting everywhere 5 times faster for free and getting fit whilst doing it.

I just get pissed off having to go to pubs near transport hubs. No smugness.

do cyclists feel they are 'better' than drivers .

Something about being caught pooping into a crisp packet in a laybye.

So the geezer that escaped from Pentonville yesterday @ 6.30pm, 2mins from my gaff was a 64yo duffer that escaped over the wall with a makeshift rope. WTF!?

Who was on guard, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles & David fuckin Blunkett!?

You couldn't make it up.he's in the queen vic by now deep east, wouldn't worry.

Why hasn't female circumcision been outlawed?

And don't start with all that religious bobbins...

it has been outlawed.

Of course it is, it's self evident. Children should be left to decide their own religious direction, or lack of, whenever they wish to, and they certainly shouldn't have their bodies mutilated to appease their parents' dogma. Same with the nonsense 'health reasons' so common in the US. If foreskins were remotely hazardous to health, we chaps would have evolved al-fresco bell-ends millennia ago.

The foreskin is extremely receptive to the transmission of disease. Such as AIDS.

Tru Fax.

I dont really believe that infants should have it done in developed countries, because the foreskin is attached to the glans. Meaning it is MORE painful for a child to get it done than an adult, where the foreskin becomes a separated and the glans toughens up.

But in developing countries, where things like AIDS are sky high and the circumcision in adults would be really awkward logistically. Then infant circumcision makes a lot of sense.

Regardless of any of this, I think parents have the right to choose it for their child wherever they live, governments would do well to stop meddling.

i think you got the wrong end ^ of the ......

Surely education would be better than cutting bits off !

And as for Religion......... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

This discussion goes nowhere on the internet as has been previously demonstrated. Those who are circumcised are just as sensitive (Ironically perhaps) to any suggestion they are "mutilated", as those who are uncircumcised are to suggestion they are unclean.

The only fact everyone agrees on is that being circumcised is different to being uncircumcised. And cultural preferences tend to go with the majority norms in those countries, i.e. one is not better than the other sexually.

The AIDS question is the only one which stands up, only only because of a desperate state of affairs in certain countries. In western countries, the rate of infections which, would have been prevented by circumcision (amongst other things) is a fraction of a percent. It's no coincidence that in a country where these procedures make money for the healthcare industry are circumcision rates so high.

The problem is therefore that male circumcision seems to be permitted by parents who are often (not always) misinformed about the risks. Historically, tonsillectomies are less culturally relevant example of medical practise being affected more by the economic model of healthcare than medical opinion.

TMI - I was circumcised when I was two (medical reasons), and I remember the experience.

I was too and for the same reason. It really fucking hurt.

You bet it did - and after that insult, they put me on an open ward with maybe 7 other kids who'd had tonsillectomies. They got jello and ice cream, I had the soup.

Leaking the weasel felt like trying to pass broken glass.

Fuck that.

Fuck's sake. Its not AIDS you transmit sexually, its HIV.
And its a piss-poor virus.

Piss poor it may be, but there are rather a lot of people who have it.

Swimming in the Thames in London is to be banned from Sunday.
A new bylaw makes it an offence to swim in the river between Crossness, near the Thames Barrier, and Putney Bridge without written permission of the Port of London Authority.

There goes David Walliams second attempt.

Is this all because some chinless wonders had their boat race interrupted?

Apparenty because of getting influenced by David, and the increase boats traffic in the area which would increase risk of drowning.

We should campaign for swimming lanes.
