» Political Correctness Gone Mad
i once
heard the phrase "Political Correctness Gone Mad" referred to as "the distress call of the thwarted bigot"...which at the time I wholeheartedly agreed with.
But now I'm not so sure...If many of these stories are true then I may have to reevaluate my standpoint!

Gay Chicken
Back in the good old days of school a friend and I were dared to play a game of Gay Chicken. I don't know how widespread this game is but the basic premise is that two people of the same sex move in as if to kiss each other, and the first one to pull back loses.
Now both I and the friend I was playing with are stubborn, and would have rather kissed another girl than lost, so we got to the point where we were practically touching lips. Suddenly the door banged open and our housemaster Mr Smith was standing there. Cue much leaping backwards and fumbled explanations from us ("...um...chicken. it was gay chicken!").
And this was at the time lesbian rumours were circulating... I don't think Mr Smith ever looked me in the eye again.

"when festivals were still good"
I do wish people would stop saying this in posts. I happen to think that festivals are still good. I go to Reading Festival each year & have a great time, & no doubt I will continue to do so for a good while yet. Yes, festivals are more expensive now, but so is everything. Doesn't mean they are all shit.
That's what I think anyway.

» Why should you be fired from your job?
not me...
but someone i know used to work in his SU Bar at uni. He worked out a scam where he would collect all the dregs etc from people's glasses at the end of the night and fill up an empty (real ale) barrel with them. When this barrel was full he would then send it back to the manufacturers claiming it was "off" when he opened it. This way he was refunded and sent a new barrel. They only got wise to it when a (stupider) colleague of his decided to empty the mop bucket water into the barrel, and the brewery, while conducting tests as to why the barrel had gone off, found cleaning products in the barrel. And that was the end of it. I must say in his defence that he was investing the money earned in this way back into the bar...not a bad person really!
oh, and my first post, be nice etc etc.

Pop-up Pirate
At Leeds there is the legend of a man who lurks in the disgusting faeces-filled trough beneath the campsite loos & occasionally livens up people's toilet experiences by sticking his head up through the loo seat & yelling "Pop-up Pirate!". I don't know if he is real, but I check every time...just in case...
