Nobody is 'born into the wrong body'. Your body is what you are born with, what you live with, and what you'll die with, irrespective of how you feel about it, present it, or surgically change it.

Matt Ryan is 6', and just signed for Roma apparently.

Indeed. As an aside the FA recently upped the mixed-age limit right up to 18, though how many females would actually stay with their majority male youth teams right through to that age group remains to be seen. Littlest Orange dropped out of her age group team because she didn't like playing...

Absolutely. I've corrected the goal size on my previous post btw - 24' x 8' - as I've been thinking about pitch/goal dimensions as Junior Orange is starting 11v11 this season, but I think they are still in the 21' x 7' goals. and 90-100 yard by 50-60 yard pitches for his age group.

To play in goal, depends on how tall they are surely? A 24' x 8' goal is enormous compared to your average 5'5" female.

The core of my system is about 30 years old, Rotel RA931 amp and Mordaunt Short 10i Pearl Edition speakers - still sounds great when compared to pretty much anything cheap and throw away you can buy today.

I bought a Pro-Ject Debut III a few years back, which is a tidy little table, but that was to plug into my existing system. For a £300 budget you are probably going to be looking in the second hand market if you are looking for turntable, amp, and speakers. Though, as others have said, pay a...

Paul Watson.

Excellent example in two consecutive posts that people find different things funny. They both clearly understand the context the joke was made in, and that it is about victim blaming. They have their own opinions about whether the joke is funny or not. Good.

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Definitely not. I'm a bit perplexed as to how you could infer that from my post?

The below is from the Jewish Chronicle article, and is the most complete description of the incident of those linked within this thread. Everyone can make their own mind up as to whether Reg overstepped the mark given that he didn't initiate it. I am disappointed by the audience response though.

I'm with Jimmy Carr, comedians shouldn't be afraid to punch in any direction, even down. By avoiding making jokes about certain parts of the population because you think they need some sort of protection you are implying that they are somehow less than you, they are not. We need to be...

In all honesty if you heckle a comedian you are fair game. It is absolutely fine to be offended by a joke, but jokes aren't necessarily representative of the views of the person who wrote it.

Mrs Orange thought I had a stye. When I rolled up to the Doctor's a couple of days later, with my eye protruding at an odd angle (think Marty Feldman), the junior needed to call the senior GP in, who promptly laughed and said "well, you're going to A&E!" Just as well I did, as I still have use...

I had an abscess behind my eye, the surgeon who drained it said it was "very giving".

Usually getting the rest of us scrambling for the dictionary. 🤣

Absolutely!

I'd be interested to see whether that bears out and the proportion of economically inactive people reduces as the baby boomer generation passes away. I does strike me that the way the welfare state was initially funded was based on faulty assumptions in that it didn't take into account the...
