I feel so sorry for this man.

Would it really harm a child if they saw him? He's just a human being. He doesn't walk around with an erect penis.

Probably not Jingle but then the next one along is less likely to be harmless and desensitising a child to accept inappropriate male nudity is risky. Many children who are groomed for abuse in families have been gradually desensitised by exposing them to nudity, getting them used to bathing and sharing beds with adults as they get older, and removing any privacy for the child. Children who learn where the boundaries are, are less likely to willingly walk into risky situations. Sad, innit?

Did anyone see the "Hotel Inspector" episode with the naturist spa and hotel?

Perhaps someone should offer him one of those penis guards made out of gourds..I have one a friend bought back for my OH from Namibia! or a loin cloth..such as images of Jesus on the cross is often depicted wearing.. a compromise!

I can see that when.

I'm surprised they don't bring him south though. Get him off their hands if nothing else.

I'll shut up about him now.

Yes, just a tiny scrap if material would save all that bother, wouldn't it? He could walk about unchallenged then.

Don't think he'd accept one of those, nanaej, otherwise he would have agreed to cover it up before now. It's obviously a matter of principle to him that he's completely naked. (Apart from backpack, of course - and does he wear shoes? )

I wondered about the shoes. And why doesn't his rucksack give him blisters?

Need to design a sort of rucksack that he can wear on his belly when near people to cover his bits that are causing the problem but wear on his back when wandering about on his own. Does seem odd though to say he has no mental health issues!

Oh, God, another Classic.
Half the world is stark raving mad, and the other half of the world remains kind towards them.
I am getting tired of it.

Which half are you aligning yourself with johanna

And you are good light relief, johanna

I guess she's like me and just enjoying the show

The difference between psychotic and neurotic is that psychotic people don't realise that they're psychotic [at least I think that's what I read once]. Now, I know I'm neurotic, but then I worry that I'm actually psychotic but don't realise it .

I remember my daughter and I were flashed. I had worked one Good Friday at my job at a Doctors' Deputising Service - it had been a very busy and somewhat fraught shift. My head was spinning. When I got home at 2pm, my daughter who was about 17 yrs old at the time, suggested we walk the dogs down the Chine to clear my head and relax me. Just as we walked across the bridge to head down the chine there was a man exposing himself and giving himself a good time. It was the last straw, I just went mental. I started yelling at him with pure rage that he could do this to us and he shot off with me hurling dog leads and dog treats after him - the dogs thought it was game and barked with joy and tackled the treats - they were Labs after all. I called the police when we got home and a chap came around to interview us - he said my yelling was the best thing I did as they get off on the woman looking upset not a raging harpy.

Bags; you'll be pleased to know that I'm still happily spring cleaning, however only doing it tonight because there's nothing on BBC4.

Absolutely bags.
Anyhow , when you have seen ONE you have seen them all!

Delighted to hear it, crimson. I haven't finished last year's spring cleaning yet... I have several of those brushes and things

johanna, quite, just so, and all that.

Spring cleaning? Does that still go on....?

Johanna, you are a delight, as always

When little boys at school were occasionally sent to me because they had been flashing their wares I told them that unless their penises had lights or bells on them they had to always stay in their pants as they were just not special!

No, not in my house, nag, and possibly not in crimson's, thus the joke. Plus a web page we shared about cleaning tools, which we both like – mainly to look at as works of art.

I was only joking, Bags!
It has never happened in my house.....

I went to the mill shop t'other day and bought plastic see through shoe boxes, a couple of huge see through plastic containers, some fabric cubes with a blackboard on one side so's I can write on what's inside [haven't decided yet; chalk perhaps!] and a packet of wipes for cleaning the loo. They're actually for work [the loo wipes] but I thought I'd try one and it's pretty good so I may keep it for myself. My spring cleaning is like the mad hatters tea party or painting the forth bridge..it does on and on forever but nothing ever looks any cleaner or tidier. But it makes me happy . I curl up in a corner, hampsterlike at the end of the day with a book and radio 6 on ready to start again the following morning. I saw a comedian at our village hall a few years back who joked about how his wife was always rearranging the house, tidying things up and putting things in different places and then forgetting where everything was, and I realised I wasn't alone. I did actually fit a new lock to one of the kitchen doors today which has taken about 6 months to do; I would like to feel immensly proud of myself but annoyingly the S.O. had to help me because it needed some male strength to get the screws in [and he also went back to his house to get some decent screws which is even more annoying].

Shame about you johanna.

I don't know whether this man is "stark staring mad" or not, but if he is, is there anything wrong with being kind to him? Or do you think all "mad" people should be treated badly?

Pathetic!
