    Top news for wayward widdlers in the Guardian.

    A bog-bound innovation spawned by those crayzee Dutch will encourage northerners in the UK to pee on target in pub lavs.

    Nothing personal from anyone dahn sarf, but Northerners don't aim true, so we're told. And the answer to this dilemma is...spiders.

    Er, we'd best explain.

    Stickers of spiders, to be exact. Little decals of arachnids will be stuck inside urinals in pubs owned by the Yesteryear chain in Yorkshire and north west England, to stop male customers spraying all over the floor.

    In Amsterdam's Schipol airport, urinal 'flies' have seen a reduction of men's "splashage" (as some bod talking to the Guardian calls it), but it'll be the 'cleaner' connotation of spiders which pub chiefs hope will improve the toilet behaviour of British mucky-pups.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    "The purpose of a university education for Left / Liberals is to attain all the politically correct attitudes towards minorties, and the financial means to live as far away from them as possible."

    Moved to the Frontroom, with a caution for language: careful with the slang terms that may be misunderstood outside one's own culture. And since this is a Guardian article, may we have a link, please?
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    lmao

    I though "nazi moderation", then thought about it a bit more. Could be seen as quite amusing.

    Ye I aim for the fag butt too, though have to admit it does slash and slop about form time to time. *runs*
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.
