Lard Bazaar 3,799 Posted October 8, 2009 Perhaps I'm a bit old fashioned, but is sex education for 4 year olds a good idea? I think that primary 7 (11-12 years) is about right - perhaps even p5. But not p1 - that is ridiculous. I don't know, I think it depends how it's handled. I don't think they need to know about sex. However, I do think there's a lot to be said for children knowing the correct names of body parts just so they can articulate themsleves better if they are being abused. I think 11-12 is little bit late really to start teaching sex education as puberty is starting earlier and earlier these days. I think about 8-9 is probably about the right age but then all kids are different. Yes - but four and five year olds? Surely we should not assume that children will be abused. Teaching sex education for that reason is a pretty sad state of affairs. I think I agree with you Windsor. If a child was being abused, surely an adult would still understand what they were telling them whether the child said 'willy' or 'penis'. I'm no prude (really, I hear you cry!) but that's too young. Nobody complains if a 4 year old says 'horsey' instead of 'horse'. Why should it be any different for body parts? And Russell Brand still calls it a winkie. And he's a grown up!

time 8,595 Posted October 11, 2009 I just noticed that the Heinz Baked Beans I bought the other day are, in fact, 'Heinz Beanz'. When did that happen? More importantly, why? I mean, its not like they were called 'beans' in some markets and 'beanz' in others, like Marathon and Snickers, or Jif and Cif, so why? Its just some smartarse marketing dick trying to justify his salary. (So thats smartarse marketing dicks into room 101 please) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted October 13, 2009 Talking of baked beans... I don't often post on this thread, but the psychotic demon woman who attacked me in Tescos late yesterday night truly deserves mention here. After a very long day at work, I stopped off at Tescos, armed with a shopping list Mrs DDT had kindly emailed me five minutes before I was due to finish for the day. I wasn't really looking where I was going as I wandered down an aisle trying to find low salt baked beans (DDT Jnr likes them, won't eat proper ones for some reason. But why is a tin containing half the salt twice the price?). I was in my own little world (not an uncommon experience) when I managed to walk straight in to this psycho woman who was approaching from the opposite direction, obviously not looking where she was going either. I didn't even make physical contact with her, our baskets clashed and that was about it, no injuries were caused no shopping was damaged, it was just one of those things. Even though I might have been only 50% to blame and being a good natured, completely harmless person, I instinctively apologised. Me: "Oh, I'm so sorry." Psycho Woman: Doesn't say anything, just glares at me hatefully Me: "Are you OK?" Psycho Woman: rather loudly "Get out of my way you stupid effing bstard" (at this point I notice she only has two bottles of economy vodka and a loaf of economy white bread in her basket and start to worry a little...) Me: (slightly annoyed, and wondering if she's looking for economy beans to go with her collection) "OK fine, it was as much your fault as mine. There's no need to be nasty to me." Without any further provocation, Psycho Woman then dropped/threw her basket to floor, breaking one of the bottles of vodka in the process, screamed and started physically attacking me; kicking, slapping, spitting, scratching whilst all the time hollering "effing bstard" at the top of her voice. I was really shocked, this has never happened to me before in the UK and I didn't quite know what to do (would I have been allowed to just punch her lights out at that point for my own protection? I had this really difficult heart vs head dilemma going at a very inconvenient moment). Eventually I managed to restrain her with the help of a former work collleague's husband who was mercifully close by and had seen what was going on. Security turned up, the police were called and Psycho Woman was carted off, still screaming, in the back of a van, I would imagine to the nearest mental health facility for evaluation. That's about it really, no real injuries caused apart from a nasty scratch on my face, but I am a bit befuddled by the whole experience and I'd like to put her in Room 101. No doubt I'll manage to forgive her after a few days - hopefully she'll get the help she needs while she's there. I never did find those beans either.

What a fussy little bugger young DDT is! I imagine that was a bit shocking. A man once screamed in my face in the street because I had the audacity to be walking on a pavement where he was trying to ride his bike at about 70 mph. He swerved to avoid me, and crashed over a brick wall, then jumped up and went completely mental in my face. Looking back it was rather amusing (apart from the fact that he was going so fast I genuinely could have been killed) but at the time, I was completely gobsmacked. These pesky mentalists......

time 8,595 Posted October 14, 2009 But why is a tin containing half the salt twice the price? The way it works is this - the 'half salt' beans have just as much salt as conventional beans, but because they're twice the price, you only buy half as many, thus, you have half the salt as you would have had you bought conventional beans at half the price.

honez 79 Posted October 20, 2009 This annoyed me when I read it. Absolutely. There's no lower IQ limit on lots of things, so why start there? She's legally entitled to vote, to open up a bank account, to apply for a loan, etc. Those things aren't IQ-tested, so why should a perfectly normal and natural biological process require legal intervention and prevention? Plenty of people too stupid to scratch themselves manage to breed and raise kids all over the world, so why should she be singled out and prevented from doing so?

Kerry Robertson, 17, has already been was prevented from getting married after social workers said she lacked the capacity to consent to the wedding. Was the report written by someone with 'mild learning dificulties'? Anyway I digress... What I really came into this thread for was to add Marks and Spencer (or as they appear to like being called, probably for the benefit of those with 'learning difficulties, M&S) to room 101.
