No one wants mixed sexed loos. Decent men don't want them, women don't want them. The only people who want them are the people you absolutely don't want to meet in a lavatory.

[The Privy Counsel @ThePrivyCounsel]

"We don't remember ever consulting a career counsellor in our youth but if we had, now's the time we'd like to go back in time and triumphantly tell that smug adviser to their face that See? we know about urinals, so there."

"These traditions - whether they involve a literal belief in virgin birth or the correct way to make rice porridge on an induction cooker - have profound emotional significance."

"Scylla probably had many admirable traits, if one were prepared to overlook her penchant for brutally ingesting everyone who came within her reach. She may well have had valuable insights, for instance, on foreign policy, or 15th-century pottery."

"The practice of stopping after the fourth beer is contested in some circles, particularly when contrasted with alternative methods, like staying in the pub, gesticulating, until it closes."

Handy guide to important consultation on toilets. “Whaddawewant?” “More female public toilets, preferably ones big enough to manage toddlers, walking aids and sanitary bins” “when do we want them?” “Suffragettes mentioned it, mate, 100 years ago would have been nice” #SexMatters

[Feminist Current @FeministCurrent]

"If go back in history, you'll find that women's toilets were a huge part of women's liberation." Now we are losing that, and women are being made vulnerable again. On the podcast, @meghanemurphy speaks with @HJoyceGender https://t.co/158lqX1Ft1

"Speaking of delightful things of doubtful ontological status, Jonny somehow manages to find the time to throw us a bog pic now and then, whether we're in a fit state to receive it or not."
