Juvenile things that make you snigger.
Discussion
its been gay week at work recently.
well more specifically, LGBT week. thank god it wasn't compulsory. a bunch of them all wore t-shirts in the staff restaurant the other day pronouncing stuff like
"gay and proud"- " I'm gay, get over it".
one bloke- a 50's over weight man not only had his t-shirt on, but a lurid wig and mirrored sunglasses.
I have no idea what point any of these people were trying to make, as the office/company simply doesn't show any anti LGBT attitudes.
however I don't want it ramming down my throat. I also don't get why someone feels the need to tell everyone they are LGBT.
however, moving onto my snigger........
a LGBT recipe book was sent round to us all at work yesterday by PDF.
yes really..........
obviously it had the title (mostly vegetarian)
given all of the above- the one recipe that did make me laugh out loud was of course
LGBT fish pie.
you can't write comedy like that !

Sorry, I don't want to derail the thread, but some blokes are embarrassed by their fondness for sausage even though they realise no one really cares. I expect the LGBT week is more a reminder to them to be "gay and proud" and not embarrassed about it or feel the need to keep it secret. I doubt the week is some sort of protest against the company or aimed at you.well more specifically, LGBT week. thank god it wasn't compulsory. a bunch of them all wore t-shirts in the staff restaurant the other day pronouncing stuff like

Perhaps you could join in by emailing round your special recipe for sausage hotpot. Always goes down a treat!

Never seen the point of it myself, I dont give a toss what you do as long as it doesnt affect me.
It's like White Male Entitlement - if you don't notice it or think it doesn't happen / doesn't matter then you're probably white and male. Gay
Bi
Transexual

You probably don't see the point of it because (and this is just a wild guess here) you might be male and straight?

A very fair point. 
Personally I don't feel the need to discuss my sexuality and gender identity with my colleagues. They aren't my friends, and I don't feel it is any of their business. I wouldn't expect a colleague to say "my wife and I decided to try Swinging over the weekend" - I simply don't care and have no desire to know.
However, if a colleague felt he'd been living a lie and felt he'd be more comfortable with "coming out" to everyone about being gay then I'd be supportive of that. So really it's all a matter of context and intent.

Anyway, back on topic....
In the canteen at work, they do a basic full English Monday to Thursday, and on Friday they do extra items like mushrooms, black pudding, fried slice, etc. that are not available Monday-Thursday. So Friday's are usually a lot busier.
On all days, they cook fried eggs on demand on a frying pan on an electric hotplate.
So in a big queue of people all wanting fried eggs, the lady who was doing the eggs announces "I'll try to fit 5 in at once".
Naturally nobody sniggered or reacted to this. Because that would be very juvenile and puerile and everyone was far too professional.

I did a night course at what was then called Borough Poly in the sixties. The 'refectory' (very greasy spoon) did fried eggs on demand too. No-one would dare giggle if the gargantuan female at the hotplate made even the most obvious double entendre. She'd have eaten them! The eggs were cracked into a pan so hot that they more or less leaped straight out onto the (greasy) plate with the edges of the eggs charred into a sort of dark brown froth. Their buck rarebit was superb though.In the canteen at work, they do a basic full English Monday to Thursday, and on Friday they do extra items like mushrooms, black pudding, fried slice, etc. that are not available Monday-Thursday.
