Bestiality in any form is animal cruelty as far as I'm concerned. If any of acts listed were committed against a person it would be considered as sexual assault at the very least. It is utterly unacceptable, man or beast.
Granted, breaking into someone's farmyard is a no-no. But rolling around in cow manure, although unhygienic and weird, is mild in comparison to bestiality. As a fetish, is it that much different scat or water-sports?

(02 Jun 2014, 9:13 am)Andreos Constantopolous wrote Looking at the first point, I think the difference was that no matter how perverse, weird or whatever else that beastiality, scat etc are - we had heard of them before.
Not sure if any of us, have seen, read, taken part in or heard about this particular fetish.
Unless it appeared on Eurotrash? It sounds like the type of thing that appeared on there!

Based on the Hampshire/Berkshire border, I had to commute around Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, before heading home. I may have gone into Wiltshire at one point too.
There was no bother with anything majorly delayed. Fares were always reasonable. Everything seemed clean and tidy. Connections (of which there were many) were made without any fuss. Except once.
That once? When getting off the train in Durham and heading for a bus from North Road.
Apart from the inevitable delays, there were timetables which contradicted themselves and when I asked a GNE driver about a particular missing service, I got a mumbled answer, that made no sense whatsoever.
Stagecoach in Andover, Reading Buses, TfL Northern Line, East Coast, Great Western, CrossCountry, South West... No issues.
Step off the train, come slap bang, face first into DCC and GNE at their very worst.
Why can it work with umpteen organisations and operators up and down the country, but not at home?
Welcome home Andreos...

(14 Jun 2014, 2:55 pm)citaro5284 wrote Also, in London as we know TfL are funded in a multiple ways whereby up home we are not. Does Nexus, DCC, NCC get income from business rates to prop up local transport service for example, along with government grants?

(14 Jun 2014, 2:53 pm)aureolin wrote I tend to have no issues outside of the combined authority, although saying that, the infrastructure is a lot better elsewhere. We've suffered from either bad highway planning or lack of investment for decades, and it really shows.
(24 Jun 2014, 4:42 pm)aureolin wrote Some Arriva drivers show no regard to their colleges and certainly not to other operators when using Durham bus station. Perhaps DCC should start monitoring and fining for over occupation of stands.
