Was I just scoped out to see if I'm GC?

Interesting! I did not know this!

@EmmaGrundyForPM

It's Billy 'Fucking' Bragg. You must use his proper name.

Probably safe to say it won't be Billy Bragg

I was subjected to Billy Fucking Bragg last year when he supported Paul Heaton.

Which 90s singer would provide better banter?

Although OP a suspicious part of me thinks procede with caution. Although she may well be GC its not unheard of for the Traliban to seek out people to target.

😁😏

I was at a work meeting when i spotted suffragette ribbons on the workbag of a colleague I'd never met before.

When we were standing near each other I hissed "GC?" at her. She nodded. I emailed her later and, as a result, she introduced me to another group of women activists.

We definitely need ways of identifying each other

Snap. If I'm having a walking stick day I'll usually use the ladies. If I'm having a walker or wheelchair day then it's the disabled loo as I'm going to need the rails in order to get up off the loo again and the space to manoeuvre the walker or wheelchair

But if I can mange to use the ladies then I'll leave the disabled loo for someone whose need is greater than mine that day.

I wouldn't be impressed on a day that I needed the disabled loo to discover that it was now the general unisex toilet.

It was a long fight to get decent levels of disabled toilet provision (and it's still nowhere near good enough in lots of places) and those giving it away so easily need to have a word with themselves.

Some of you have filthy minds 😲 Shocked, I tell you.
Though it may explain some of the terrible reading comprehension on here.

And yep, OP, she was definitely scoping you out. You need to start another convo. Just be careful with that bloody geranium!

In a weird side tangent DD works with rescue animals and there's been a sizable amount of chinchillas surrendered. People get them thinking they are like big hamsters but don't realise the care or lifespan of them. They make wonderful pets.

GC - Gravimetric Calibrator. I like it.

Recently had a convo at work where i outlined what i think in broad terms and one chap said "oh like the Harry Potter woman?" and i said "something like that" and that was it.

But i often make jokes about how i'm going to identify out of my Ancient Crone-ness as a middle aged middle class white man and make a power grab, which they also find amusing.

I have HP pens that I welcome anyone in the office to borrow. Most of the women are very enthusiastic to pick one and only one person has been disgusted at the mere presence of them but he's very petty. He even reported me to HR because I made a joke about my cancer treatment.
Anyway the pens tend to lead to a JKR discussion and she has many fans in my industry.

I totally agree. I use the accessible loo at times and the ladies at others, depending on my needs at the time. These loos should be reserved for people with some kind of disability.

Whilst that maybe a Great Chinchilla, it isn't a Grand Chinchilla. And as I obviously reject appropriation, I can not accept a GC pretending to be a GC.

Ooh I drop similar things to people when I'm trying to scope them out! Have dissed unisex loos in the past and scoffed at unisex clothes!

Yes, op. Give her a try.
As an aside, I went into the men's loo by mistake in asda (combination of alcohol and stupid door signs) and the smell of urine made me realise way before I spotted the urinals.

Likewise. Then I sometimes throw in 'of course, there's been all this fuss about what she said about women's rights <eyeroll>'

Response has been 100% positive so far.

Happy May Day 😁

My terfdar would be working overtime and I'd be delighted.

If ever I'm having a conversation with someone about crime fiction, I always make a point of saying that my favourite crime novels are the Cormoran Strike ones, written by JKR under the Robert Galbraith pseudonym. (Fortunately, this also happens to be true.)

Which ones? Because sometimes I think people read into it. I know people who still like her work but are trans everything (not many though).

Are white able bodied women allowed to assert their needs over white able bodied men, just so I’m sure how this Top Trumps works..?

Reminds me of The Handmaid’s Tale, before Offred realises there’s an underground resistance. Failing to pick up on the cue, “what a beautiful May Day,” she simply replies: “Praise be!” Maybe you were being scoped out OP! I have no problem with single occupancy unisex loos (similar style to disabled loos, like a little private bathroom with its own sink etc) but can’t stand being in an open mixed-sex space with flimsy, gappy cubicles and shared sinks.

Ooh give us a clue?

Are they too big for going down rabbit holes, though?
