The long running tradition, iconised by the floating head stick figure man and triangle bodied woman symbols, of oppressive toilet gender segregation is corroding. The concept of a unisex toilet is on the rise. Small bars and clubs with only one disabled toilet at all are forced by necessity to accommodate for both genders.
After recently having had to switch to a gluten free diet, I found that I was, quite literally, struggling to hold my drinks after lucky number three. Admittedly, my drinking ability prior to this wasn’t in much better form.
I don’t know if anybody will care about this nor am I particularly confident that sharing this information on an international platform will not result in me never being eligible for legitimate employment, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. After reading this guy’s column on Vice, I’m questioning my life choices.
So you’ve decided to hit the town, it’s a Friday or Saturday night, you’ve had a few drinks and you start flirting with the hot boy/girl at the bar.

I write to you from the confines of my bed where a whole month of party weekends has caught up with me and I am forced to be the sick friend this weekend. It’s not a great gig. I’m chewing vitamins and cold and flu tablets like potato chips so I can drive all my friends to the city tonight. I don’t even have a sexy husky sore throat voice.
As one of those people who pretty much loves all kinds of music (seriously, you can take me anywhere – bagpipe concert? I’m in!), one of my pet hates is music snobs. You know, those people that can’t have fun unless they are amongst their own crowd, listening to their own type of music.
