Random Irritations

[Voyager EMH]

I don't have a dog, but the gardens either side of us have two dogs each.
I like it when they go outside and bark. They do this several times a day.
It keeps the cats away from my garden.
Cat poo in my garden is one of my biggest irritations.

A trial into the most effective weight loss drug has found that Maunjaro is more effective than Wegovy for weight loss.

The trial was paid for by the firm that makes Maunjaro - who would have guessed the results?

There is a Gentlemans Club (not that type.... ) in Lincoln. Been there since 1920. Male only membership as the name implies. Females are allowed if accompanied by a member. Simple and straightforward.

A couple of members from the Lincoln Uni Feminist Society have taken umbrage at this and are kicking up a fuss about it.

Really irritates me

There are numerous 'women only' clubs in the UK, can't say I've ever seen any men campaigning to have them changed.

There's a few people on here who apparently post on Mumsnet

Motorbike riders that overtake on pelican crossings/junctions with traffic lights. Where is a police car when you need one?

Why can't men and women have their own spaces?

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Cars that "ping" at you when you go over the speed limit are a good thing, an audible warning, great feature

Drove almost the entire length of the M1 today, the roadworks that have been there for the last 2 years have gone, but the bloody car still thinks that 75 miles of the M1 is still 50 MPH
so constant pinging .....AAARRRGGGHHHHHHH

 

[KenL]

Why can't men and women have their own spaces?

Of course they can. But, why would they need separate spaces for sports, bars etc.
Toilets, changing rooms and the likes 100%

Sometimes a “smart” car is a bit daft

Thankfully a lot of it can be turned off

Maybe you don't want separate spaces but lots of people do.

Do you? Where would you like to spend time with people of your own sex? And why?
Just asking.

Just asking.

If someone wants to just spend some time away from the opposite sex why shouldn’t they? Why do they need to justify it?

For me, I don’t see why there is a need to be segregated other than to maintain privacy in terms of sex.
Women shouldn’t have their own cliques either.
Just my opinion.

 

[backwoodsman]

Why can't men and women have their own spaces?

They can if they want.

But the club you mentioned has been hoist by their own petard because they let both sexes in. So it's not really a single-sex club is it? They cant have it both ways.
