Sandie Peggie: Employment Tribunal, associated legal claims, and related matters - thread #68

Do you mean an actual person, or the sourdough itself as has died? Sorry to be thick!

I think it’s early next year, could be wrong.

Ah good. Isn't it crazy that I'm planning my calendar around ETs? Never thought in a million years that this would be something I'd be doing with my spare time.

The sourdough itself. The starter for all the baking is called the "mother". They keep it in a huge jar and feed it every day so that it is constantly growing, but sudden changes in conditions such as temperature can kill it off overnight and they have to start again. It's fascinating.

Some have been going for decades apparently.

I did not know that, and I have dabbled I sourdough myself. My 'mother' is currently in the freezer. It got too expensive with the leccy about the time of the Ukraine war so I froze some. I guess she's probably dead and needs removing! Time flies!

How do sourdough mothers die? (Oh cross posted I see, there was an explanation given.)

BTW I am totally fed up with a certain poster and have reported him/her to MN as a troll.

I raise you with:
boring everyone with the health and safety reasons why toilets are designed as they are which feeds through into regulations and legislation.

IANAL but I am pretty sure that what was meant by men and women was defined decades ago, in a case called Corbett v. Corbett. Where what we then called a transvestite was 'married' to a man. Long, long before gender recognition certs. At a time when gender referred to learning grammar usually of foreign languages.

On the CofE question, I was interested to hear the other day during an interview with a priest that the Church of England is loosing many ordained priests to the Catholic Church.

In a nutshell, it appears many CofE priests have had it with the excessive progresism, plus they like to have firm doctrine to guide them. Which makes sense, I guess.

CofE priests who defect to the Catholic priesthood aren't bound by a vow of celibacy so get to keep their wives.

Do they? That's interesting. I never gave that a thought 🙈

I guess having to divorce to 'change jobs' as it were is a bit hard core. Having said that, I can see that storing trouble for later. Two tier celibacy?

CofE priests who defect to the Catholic priesthood aren't bound by a vow of celibacy so get to keep their wives.

That seems very unfair on committed Catholic priests. I recollect that Bruce Kent left the priesthood when he wanted to get married.

You didn't miss anything important at all I don't think, maybe one of the more recent times or courier articles?

It's the answer to the trick question "Does the Catholic church allow married priests?". I have no idea whether the OG priests lumbered with a vow of celibacy resent the incomers flaunting their wives😀.

MN HQ have decided that a certain poster's tedious posts do not break their guidelines.

This is a mystery to me - completely derail a thread and it's OK? I have had posts pulled and a warning for much more minor transgressions. Perhaps this one will get pulled too and I'lll get my knuckles rapped?

prh47bridge's posts were worth reading. Oh and you may be interested in culinary uses of rats. But about Sandie Peggie? No, nothing.

Why do you think that posts analysing relevant law and expressing views on this subject that are not gender critical should be deleted for breaking guidelines? Surely that's just shutting down/ policing discussion.

I haven't derailed the thread at all, I've been engaging in a conversation with other posters about directly relevant law. Meanwhile there's been plenty of discussion on the threads that has nothing to do with the topic whatsoever.

The only way to win is not to play.

Thank you for trying Peregrina and here’s a couple of feline terfs who know that sex is real and that sometimes it is important.

Yes I think you are correct.

One of my favourite ways of winning.

Last week I was accused of hustling my way into a position rather than deserving it. I was delighted to recount all my many years of experience which demonstrated that I did indeed deserve it, and then walked away from it entirely.

I know my worth, and they didn’t deserve me.

Well done 👏

Here's my baby. I have no idea what her attitudes are towards sex and gender.

I recall a priest, in Westerham I think. He had been a priest, and had left the Catholic Church because of the celibacy rule. He decamped to the Church of England, and married.

Then when the CofE decided to allow women priests, he didn’t like that, and decamped back to the RC church , and was welcomed as a married priest.
