Yep, and only about 500 years too late. Baffles me this is still an issue or even open to discussion. Its a basic human right.

Interestingly, California Governor Schwarzenegger :lol: (still gives me a chuckle), has "flip flopped" on his original stance, he vetoed a same sex marriage bill in 2005 - which I think he mainly did in support of the law as opposed to hating gays like the bible waving half wits in the White House and The Vatican. Now hes saying "For the hundreds of thousands of Californians in gay and lesbian households who are managing their day-to-day lives, this decision affirms the full legal protections and safeguards I believe everyone deserves".

Progress I suppose.

California is now as progressive as Iowa!

Fox News must be going crazy today.

And 3 times married serial adulterer Newt Gingrich (who dumped his first wife while she had cancer) has called the decision an "outrageous disrespect".

From personal experience I'd say most cops out of uniforms are the type of people who want a bit of power to rush their heads and stroke their egos, like high school bullies or the arsehole suit who likes to get into arguements/fights with people weaker than themsleves to prove how great they are, so it doesn't surprise me that they would do this to 70 year old.

So you've met a few bad eggs (who probably stick out more than any normal officer you've met) and it therefore means that it doesn't surprise that "they" would do this; As in the police meaning "they". So you've stereotyped the entire police body?

I renamed myself so people would stop calling me pogo (rather than reactivating my old account).

I find having an internet name a tad geeky. I doubt anyone will ever call me jobby jabber in real life.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
