Some funny points made by a few, and some cracking initial points made by the OP Gaz.
Gays ? Know a few of them at work and get on well with them, they are no different from hetero***uals IMO, as long as they leave me and folk who don't want to get involved with them alone, which the ones I know do.
Good shout about the shower's though, never thought of it that way, If I had to shower with a group of men knowing that a couple of them was gay I suppose I'd feel a bit (for the want of a better word) queer as in showering with women, you wouldn't want to press skin with all the females in the shower with you, but being a hetero***ual you'd certainly have a jolly good look at them all so probably a gay guy would do the same with males ?
Police ? As Alf says we could not do without them, for me there are some good, some bad, but like any large establishment when the $hit hits the fan they will protect their own to the hilt.
Media ? Full of $hit the lot of them, CNN, BBC, Sky, ITV
