    Spent many a day at Atwick Gap as a kid exploring those WWII concrete bunkers half buried in the sand. I assume they'll have all dissapeared by now given the coastal erosion in that area ?
    Amazed someone has even put up an ancient vid of that spot !

    I could make it make sense for you, but if I did I'd likely get another 1 week ban from this thread for bringing politics, governmental agendas, etc into it.
    The guy's clearly a nutter (now do I mean the driver, the guy in the St George Cross shirt or the idiot who is really behind the imbalanced sentencing etc - I'll leave you all to work out who of the 3 I mean, or maybe I mean all 3?).

    Surely there’ll be an hilarious one from a woman about her period?

    Extraordinary events were always going to lead to extraordinary sentences, those that fail to recognise that have little sense. That is all. :emoticon-0138-think

    These things tend to go in cycles.

    Careful. If someone loses their rag over that you will be accused of terrorism under new misogyny proposals.

    Auf Wiedersehn, my non binary, gender neutral acquaintance…
    STUDENTS at Newcastle University have been banned from using the Geordie greeting “pet” — after woke bosses called it sexist.

    It is deemed off-limits in an “equality and inclusion toolkit”.

    The Tyneside slang — as used in the title of TV comedy classic Auf Wiedersehen, Pet — is a term of endearment in the same way as “dear” and “love”.

    But university diversity chiefs appear to compare anyone using it to Viz’s Geordie comic character Sid the Sexist.

    Their seven-page guide insists: “Avoid patronising or gendered terms, such as girls, pet, or ladies.”

    Produced by a 13-strong inclusion team, it also warns the terms “man up” and “bossy” are “incredibly sexist”.

    They haven't banned anything, the toolkit is just a book of advice and all it's not at all unreasonable...

    It is good to practice referring to colleagues by their name. If referring to a group, call them friends or colleagues. Avoid patronising or gendered terms, such as girls, pet, or ladies. Avoid phrases like “man up” or “grow some balls” or “don’t be such a girl”.
