Every woman I know who went there says she felt threatened at least once an hour.

I went once, what's to like? It's a zoo and a dangerous one at that.

Well now, here's a thing
Man with fetish for listening to women urinate caught in Herne Bay public loos

A pensioner with a fetish for listening to women urinate claimed he was “desperate” from a stomach upset when caught using ladies’ cubicles. Perverted Michael Goodwin was spotted "shuffling" into the female lavatories at Herons Leisure Centre in Herne Bay on June 21 this year.

The 67-year-old was subject to a court order at the time banning him from not only entering female and unisex toilets but also from "lingering, waiting and standing" outside public loos. But Canterbury Crown Court heard that having followed two women into the William Street facilities on two separate occasions, he chose cubicles next to ones they had occupied.

During one toilet visit, he emerged with his joggers lowered and his hands in his groin area before heading into the cubicle which had just been used. His warped behaviour was reported to police and despite denying he had followed women into the lavatories for sexual gratification, he subsequently revealed he has a fetish for listening to women urinate.

As well as his previous convictions for two offences of voyeurism and one of attempted voyeurism, the pensioner was cautioned in 2021 for outraging public decency.

Jailing Goodwin for a total of two years and 10 months, Recorder Sarah Counsell rejected his explanation of feeling unwell and said he had "deliberately targeted" women for sexual pleasure.

A simple graphic representation of wealth. I started scrolling the Bezos number and started laughing to myself "Jeeeeezus!" ... because otherwise I'd cry.

I was thinking about this the other day. In the U.K. we are talking about a “black hole” of £22billion in the economy of a wealthy country, and some people have that in their bank accounts. It’s pretty mad

Feck's sake

We've got a Land Rover Discovery Sport, and Land Rover as a brand are prone to being nicked by people who use radio amplification gear to fool the keyless entry and start system.

To mitigate this, Land Rover have posted me one (one) faraday pouch for my two keys, and offered to send me a pair of batteries for the remote that have a sleep mode, such that they won't activate the keyless entry unless moved.

I've completed the battery request form, entering the printed 16 digit VIN and 10 digit code with only 4 corrections needed, and they have thanked me for my response and will send me the batteries direct - expect delivery within the next 6 months.

I got a sore finger before I reached the end! What the feck does he do with his time given he has everything in the world he could want ... apart from hair, trust in those around him, family and friends, etc?

Ours is such a mess they'd be doing us a favour. Kids can really kick the crap out of cars.


They're also working on a software fix for the car, at which point they'll call us in for an update. Which usually means they valet the car.

A friend has a Defender 110. He sent it to Twisted for an engine conversion to be ULEZ compliant and while away he lost the ability to get insurance for it parked on the street in London. The Insurance companies lump it in with the other Landys with keyless entry issues.

It's now a very expensive and hard to sell display vehicle at Twisted.

Got the phone call at 3.30 this morning. Just taken dad down to say goodbye finally. They've been together for 80 years so he's not taking it very well..

Condolences TB.

My mother is also 95, but has been a widow for longer than she was married. She is mentally sharp and has always defied her creeping physical deterioration. Suddenly she is worried by everything, will not go out on her own etc. We worry that the swing from mental positivity to negativity will be what brings her to her end so I fear this is not too far off for us as well.

I feel both guilty and relieved that one of my sisters lives in the same street, and another 30 mins away so they take care of her.
