Didn't read the article but an interesting side note. While I was in San Francisco, I went to use the public toilets at fisherman's wharf. The female toilet was closed for some reason and they had a row of portable dunnys outside, none of which seemed too appealing to the female contingent. So , one by one, they started to venture into the mens. I was in there taking a slash at the urinal when one walked in, straight past me and into the cubicle quickly. No big deal and no one made one of it.

Yeah I've done that, but last resort, not for modesty, because it fricken stinks so bad!

Guess it's better than the portaloo and most of the cubicles in the men's dunny's are cleaner than those in the women's.

Yeah, gotta love the gulf states. Goes to show that you can have shiny towers and stone age social values all at once (so long as America has your back).

You mean oil?!

Really why would any female risk it! It's seriously twisted!

For real. It is my fundamental purpose.

My Mum holidayed in Iran and they were great. I know it's not a 'Gulf State' in the sense meant here, but just some perspective.

[David]

Yep, I think Iran is a very different (and much misunderstood) culture. They have plenty of their own social problems of course (not least of which is an extremely authoritarian theocratic government), but it feels like there's far more appetite for social change among ordinary people there. Getting the Ayatollah out of politics would be a great start.

ok, its ridiculous, but i still had to laugh at the absurdity of it .

This could have also gone in the pissed off thread.

Been waiting for George Calombaros new joint to open in Williamstown hoping to sample what was labeled Greek- gastro pub food.

I had a hankering for a souva... Only to find they only serve crispy lambs brains or soft shell crab souvlaki.

Put the menu down and went to Nandos.

I'm not sure I'd want gastro pub food if they had it! That kind of thing gives me the shits!
