Random Random Thoughts Rebooted

It was my understanding that traditionally gender has been used as an added layer of identity verification & differentiation.

E.g. two people are getting married & traditionally it had to be between a man & woman. So this data would be required to easily differentiate between the two for the purposes of satisfying the previous legal requirements for marriage. Being included on the system would have made the process easier etc.

Differentiation isn't as required today as it was previously as legislation & social acceptance finally starts to modernise & catch up. Further, the traditional image of "male"/"female" no longer is so easy to differentiate in any event. So while you may asthetically be seen as one gender you may in fact legally be the other. The argument for including gender on s birth certificate is thus outdated IMO.

The costing to implement this would be what I'd be most keen to see though.

The vast majority of people will still identify as either male or female though, regardless of what goes on their birth certificate. The number of cases where people identify as one gender while legally being the other is still small. This seems to be more about acknowledging the possibility that some people may not fit the traditional image of "male"/"female".

It's a complete waste of time.

Have spent last 15 mins sitting inside my favourite Deli watching 2 people act like 5 year olds over a minor fender bender.

We’ve got an emergency nurse here with us and her comments on priorities and human idiocy are gold!

****ing parents...... worst part of teaching. Chaired a meeting today where the parent wants their child to be challenged to improve their learning but doesn't want her child to be challenged because it puts pressure on them. WTF? Also wants her child to be supported with Maths tasks. Pointed out we offer support on a daily basis and the child chooses not to accept the assistance and that when they enter high school the child will not be asked, they will need to seek the support themselves. Parent flew off the handle suggesting we said he won't get help and isn't good enough. Meanwhile, as this parent is getting irate, the little prick sat there grinning that his mum is worked up to the point of tears.

It's their future, let em fail!

Problem is, in this day and age, these same arseholes are the ones that will come back in 5 years time trying to sue us for not preparing their child for the realities of everyday life.

So I have bruised, or maybe fractured ribs and I'm not sleeping.

Has anyone had a rib injury and know if one of those long body pillows helps?

It is counter-intuitive but sleep on the side that has the fractured ribs. It forces the other side to expand as you breathe.

I couldn’t lay down at all, sleep sitting up worked for me...but my sleep patterns were shite until they healed.

Take care!!

Ouch. Had cracked ribs years ago and can still remember breathing hurt, coughing was awful and laughter was torture.

From memory I packed pillows around to stop me moving in my sleep.

Good luck and make sure you get a couple of xrays. cracks dont always come up on the first.

Oh well Cheval. This may have been the yearr of ordinary injury luck for the Bloods and fans. I screwed up a scheduled knee op for 22/10 by busting a femur the week before and delaying the knee for 3 months.

My surgeon says I am a ****head. He won't admit it, but I am convinced he barracks for the Dawks. I really want to test this out. Thought when the anaesthetist says count back from 100,I could count 100 Buddy-s a happy Swan, 99 Buddy-s a happy Swan etc. If I wake with left leg reattached between my shoulder blades then he is Clarko's cousin .

Owie! Sounds as though you'll be on those crutches for a while longer. Good luck with op when it eventually happens.

And please stop making me laugh... it hurts!
