A mate got done last year, he says he's given up standing for a piss, reckons it's easier to sit down than piss in random directions.

That sounds very gender neutral, how very modern of him to sit whilst performing a tinkle.

When do you identify them as being unnecessary?
When they aren’t being done for a medical reason
I'd sooner have had mine chopped off when I was an infant than go through the pain I'm in now whilst my urology consultations keep getting pushed back, and that's before you add on the risks of anaesthetics required for adults.
But that's just me, and yes my opinion has done a 180 in the last 2 or so years.
I got mine whacked off in 09, go for the general anaesthetic and it's an interesting day out. Believe me, I'm no hero but it's a piece of piss and I didn't need painkillers for the recovery. Yer knob does look a bit Frankenstein for a while though.

I had no idea circumcision involved putting a bolt through your knob???

A man who sits down for a piss is a man who cleans his own house.

Piss in the sink.

It doesn't go all over the place and you can 'flush' while washing your hands. It saves making a mess on the floor, saves cleaning time and saves water.

Win, win win. :D

The kitchen sink is the woman's domain.

Of course, if you've only got one sink . . .

I use the bathroom mirror lights if I'm having a wee in the en suit, but pooing in the en suit is strictly forbidden.

I reckon the shortened SNP leadership campaign will run and run, probably through the courts as well ...

https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics ... p-contest/
At an emergency meeting the day after Nicola Sturgeon resigned, the party’s ruling NEC agreed to a rapid timetable for the contest, with a new leader in place within 40 days.

The party’s constitution states that the process should normally run for around 133 days.
And it keeps running. And running ...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h ... 17809.html
The SNP is “working very hard” to get new auditors in place, party leader and Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf said – as he revealed the accountancy firm that had been doing the job had resigned “round about October” of last year.

It emerged last week that accountancy firm Johnston Carmichael was no longer handling the SNP accounts – with this coming just days after former party chief executive Peter Murrell was arrested and questioned by police probing the party’s finances.
So the SNP's auditors resigned about 6 months ago!

I stand to be corrected, but I think that auditors as part of a regulated sector have a duty to report fraud to the police ...

Block on Scottish gender reforms to be challenged in court
It's a car crash, wasn't it bad enough the prisoner issue came out right after Westminster blocked this? They must be really desperate for a distraction.

I think he has to, otherwise Forbes and the other one will be back in the running. He's got to be different to them, but the distraction will help.

It's interesting to me that Murrell hasn't been metaphorically taken round the back of the barn and shot. The SNP have long run with a very strong whip, the least hint of wrongdoing and that's it, game over.

He has to because Patrick Harvie, the co-leader of the Green Party upon which he depends for a majority, has said that Green Party support depends on him proceeding with the Gender Recognition Reform (Scotland) Bill.

https://www.heraldscotland.com/politics ... -law-veto/
PATRICK Harvie has warned that the Scottish Greens will quit the Bute House Agreement if the next first minister fails to challenge the UK Government’s veto of the Gender Recognition Reform Bill.
