You bugger!!!

I just spat my coffee out trying to not laugh.....there is coffee everywhere

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.

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.

Win, win win.

And I suppose it gives the dishes a pre-wash power rinse.

The kitchen sink is the woman's domain.

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

When I use the en suite at night I sit down. It's quieter.

[KungFooBob]

When I use the en suite at night I sit down. It's quieter.

Me too, but it's because I don't want to turn the light on and wake the wife up.

[Ant]

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.

The SNP's squandering their supporters funds on campervans, and luxury socks and sandals?

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Only where they suspect money laundering - I think.

When I use the en suite at night I sit down. It's quieter.

As do I, but it’s to save me having to wake up.

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.

It ain't gonna make things any worse;

Pissed in the bin, which is annoying.

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.

[cheb]

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.

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.

NEW YORK -- Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday sued his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, seeking at least $500 million for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.

Could it conceivably have anything to do with this?

Donald Trump's former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, speaking on ABC's "Good Morning America" Friday, said he was "absolutely" prepared for cross-examination in a potential trial after completing his testimony this week before a Manhattan grand jury mulling charges against Trump.

Cohen is basically the only witness & has already been convicted for lying under oath... Not exactly a credible *witness*

Cohen is basically the only witness & has already been convicted for lying under oath... Not exactly a credible *witness*

*FACT*

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to a federal charge relating to a $130,000 payment to Daniels in the closing days of the 2016 campaign.

Not sure how the fuck the *FACT* that Cohen hid $4M from the IRS is Trumps fault?
