We have a principle here called Affirmative Action – a very PC concept that involves giving more jobs to women - or any other group who are perceived to be disadvantaged – purely on the basis that they had a less than fair deal in the past.
Now, Rincewind and Womble’s arguments might be better than mine (I particularly liked Womble’s assertion that he disliked many Africans, not for being black, but for being primitive, tribalistic, murderous bastards – or words to that effect. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> ).
But you see, oh wise judge, I am in need of Affirmative Action. Not only am I old, but I also work as a full time ‘Carer’ to an ‘Intellectually Disabled Person’, AND I am the victim of some incurable Waffling Virus, which appears to be peaking – so clearly I should be allowed to win <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />
And I have teddy bears in my avatar now. Would you be so heartless as to discriminate against teddy bears? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />
