    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    No I got the irony there and then, I was thinking of trying to sell her a copy of our paper but alas I had to sacrifice j(eho)viality to get on with the canvas.

    All of this has happened before. All of it will happen again.

    Ha. God I love you Partisan! I always let the Jehovahs have their say and then tell them that I am a witch. Its great to see their faces.

    Its the equivalent of running after a dog and biting it in the arse.

    We haven't had Jehovah Witnesses around in years.
    Canvassing has been very disappointing.
    we've only had two around and they're the two bankers in the constituency (5seater)
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    I think the problem with that approach is that it would not work if applied to other jobs. She does work in tv so I am guessing it has more than its fair share gay persons?

    How would your company react if you said could not deal with customer because he/she was gay/black/yellow/white etc...?

    I suppose if a gay person applied to be on that show & was turned down he/she would have legal case?

    I wouldn't think you'd have a right to appear on a TV show. Like, who goes on a show is always left to the discretion of the producers, whereas getting into a pub or that should be open to all comers(no pun intended).
