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

I was just at a work event and a colleague just told me she needed a wee but couldn't go because the toilets were unisex and she didn't feel comfortable and looked at me quizzically. I replied by telling her I'd seen some ladies ones on the way in that were just around the corner and gave her directions. But I'm now wondering if this was some kind of hint I should have picked up on! 🤔

Actually his proper name is Cis Billy Bragg. You know, to distinguish him from all of us who identify as Bill Bragg.

The amount of Billy Braggs on Twitter is such fun! God knows how many I follow! I do not however follow the actual Bully Bragg!

Boiledbeetle · 18/07/2023 21:52

Hmm autocorrect has its own opinion of Mr Bragg I see

Please say it was Jarvis

I've long been looking for a genuine piece of suffragette jewelry to wear with pride - I love pearls and amethysts especially.

In the meantime, perhaps a geranium will have to do....

Have you seen the amazing suffragette pendants?

Quite pricy. Very ornate.

Suffragette Pendants

A pendant speaks a thousand words, and always tells a story. Our gorgeous collection of antique suffragette pendants carry the history of women's suffrage, with the code colours Green, White and Violet representing the words "Give Women Votes".

I reckon the code word is mumsnet - with at least 2 colleagues, I've mentioned in conversation that I spend far too much time on mumsnet. And later the conversation moves on to shared GC views.

Interestingly rabbits aren't rodents, they are lagomorphs.

I think that's a Giant Chinchilla eating a Geranium.

dapsnotplimsolls · 18/07/2023 22:21

Waft a Tunnocks wafer around next time you see her.

And... scene!
Great work, people.
Jake, if you could escort the chinchilla back to her trailer, please.
And can you wrangle the stunt chinchillas again, please, Zoe.

Bloody love my chinchillas, I do. They are Gorgeous Chinnies.

Fair comment. A lot of feminists center the needs of white able bodied women yet believe they stand for women as a whole.

Now you are talking out of your arse. I have never heard feminists refer to women's skin colour, unless it's that Rachel woman who thought she was black.

Oh wow!

Maybe we need to restart this suffragette tradition (and invest in a bit of wearable gold in case we are banned from banking!)

Hoping for this too! 🤞

Really ? I think that black women and children are just as much at risk from males in women’s safe spaces .

Many black elderly and disabled women and girls don’t want to be forced to have intimate care from males.

If anything, black communities in the USA have been much more vociferous in defending their children’s rights in education.

Muslim women ( who are mostly Asian ) have huge concerns about their right to privacy and dignity in shop or sports changing rooms and showers.

Many of the woman athletes missing out medals and sport scholarships are BAME.

So no, it’s not all about white able bodied women . Who BTW are still people with human rights, despite some people’s attempts to suggest otherwise .

Rest assured it was not Billy Fucking Bragg - I could never stand him - all that worthiness is just painful. And his singing is pure torture.

MavisMcMinty · 19/07/2023 13:37

I spent 3 consecutive New Year’s Eves in the early 90s at Billy Bragg concerts - 2 of them featuring the gorgeous much-missed Kirsty MacColl. I loved him, but he’s become a bit of a knob lately.

Oh wow they are actually antique. I thought they might be copies. How beautiful. What treasure. Crikey, my credit card is twitching!

Mutabiliss · 19/07/2023 19:18

I also suspect and hope it's Jarvis 🤞

RealityFan · 19/07/2023 19:23

God, it was bad enough working out etiquette on dating and office flirting back in the day. Now we've gotta also think twice about pointing to which toilet.

I wonder if they have these problems in the Ukraine right now?

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/07/2023 21:41

I'm planning to get one one day.
