Your pictures are great Sparkle. Stadium looks amazing. Great review... Don't know what else to say. :D I also bought t-shirt, and got a bag. :wub:

 

And I think Ground Control fit somehow really special in that time before they came on stage. :wub:

You know, with the exception of Robbie, this has to be one of the

best moments I've ever witnessed at a concert :heart:

Perfect. :wub: What else to say...

 

As I didn't see Robbie, this song is probably my best concert experience. :P :wub:

Women need loos, and we need them now

If you thought sexual equality had arrived, just look at the queue for the ladies', says Becky Pugh.

The chattering classes love to chew over the remaining inequalities between men and women. If it's not an intense debate over whether Fay Weldon was right to rule, in an interview with this newspaper last week, that women should be happy to pick up men's socks, it's endless agonising over the fact that women don't earn as much as men in comparable positions, or that they can't become members of the Garrick Club.

 

But the one thing that barely ever gets mentioned – unsavoury as it may be – is the fact that women always have to queue to go to the loo in public places, while men saunter in and out in the blink of an eye.

 

A few weeks ago, I was one of the 88,000 people who attended a concert by U2 at Wembley Stadium. It was a beautiful summer's evening, Bono was in fine fettle and a fabulous time was had by all. Except, that is, when it came to queuing for the women's loos. Just after I'd arrived, and well before the Irish rockers were due on stage, I found myself needing to answer nature's call and took my place in a long line of like-minded females. Having time on my hands, I counted how many people there were in the queue: 54. And queuing outside the adjacent men's loo? Five – for a moment. And then none.

 

When they built the new Wembley Stadium – the "Venue of Legends" – at a cost of almost £1 billion, the planners thought long and hard about amenities. Determined to give visitors the best experience possible, they incorporated 2,168 loos into the vast structure. That is, apparently, more loos than any other building in the world.

 

But if more loos than any other building in the world aren't enough to keep women from queuing to relieve themselves, something has got to be done. As Clara Greed, professor of inclusive urban planning at the University of the West of England, says: "If you want to know the true position of women in society, look at the queue for the ladies' loo."

 

My friends and I take it as read that if we attempt a visit to the ladies' during the interval of a play, we risk missing the second half. I get so anxious about how long a "convenience break" may last in a restaurant that I always hold out until the end of dinner, however desperate I become.

 

It is a fact that women take longer over going to the loo than men do. (Research has shown that men take 35 seconds to use a urinal; women take a minimum of 60 to use a loo.) That isn't just because we go in pairs, talk too much and spend hours re-applying our make-up. It is for simple, logistical reasons. First, we have to use a cubicle, with all the locking and unlocking that that entails. Second, we are likely to have more complicated sartorial considerations than the straightforward unzipping and zipping up again of a pair of trousers.

 

The maths is not complicated. If as many women as men use the loo in any given public place, and they take longer over the deed, we should be allocated more lavatories. In Britain, however, the rule remains that the number of appliances in women's loos must equal those in men's. The British Toilet Association is campaigning – too quietly, perhaps – for public facilities to uphold a 2:1 ratio of women's to men's loos. They haven't triumphed yet.

 

Granted, this issue isn't quite up there with securing the vote for women. I'm not about to chain myself to the railings or stage a bra-burning session. But the fight for "potty parity" (as they call it in the States) is a battle worth waging. Like a man, when a woman's gotta go, she's gotta go. And she shouldn't have to queue for the privilege.

 

 

:thumbup:

 

the answer to that problem is :kink: go in the mens, it's alot quicker

:o :o :o

 

 

Hussy! <_<

I only did it once :blush:

 

I was forced to, and I kept my hand over my eyes the whole time I was in there :lol:

Did you do the piddle in a urinal? :o :cry:

:lol: :lol: :lol: no I didn't

 

but I had to walk past them, I was traumatised :drama:

 

There's a thing you can buy now. To do the piddle in. Like a flask or something. Apparently they're very popular at festivals. Can't remember the name. My cousin was telling me about them. She was at T in the Park. ^_^

:lol: :lol: OMG!

 

did you read this bit?

 

This idea was cemented in the minds of the Dutch when a Local talk show host, Paul de Leeuw, interviewed Moon and she demonstrated the She Pee (p-mate) live in front of the nation :o :o . From that point she was overwhelmed with publicity and interest and opened up her idea to all the women of the Netherlands.

 

 

A Dutchie invention. I might have guessed! :lol: :lol: :lol:
