One man’s quest to get juice from Limeys.
“Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.”
“Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.”
But Rosie you’re all right – you wear my ring
When you hold me tight – Rosie that’s my thing
When you turn out the light – I’ve got to hand it to me
Looks like it’s me and you again tonight Rosie
(Bolding mine) Think the phrasing here was intentional? Because this would work so much better if the last bit read “wood-be”.
Hmm…did “close your eyes and think of England” ever come more apropos?
I’ve given blood before. No way they’re goin’ down there with a tourniquet and needle.
Pussy.
looks at man’s costume in the first picture Wow. Er.
I’d say he certainly has the stones to wear that outfit out in public, except he doesn’t appear to…
How good is their … ahem … assisting material … ahem.
Inquiring minds want to know.
I’d help out, but there is a surgical disconnect between source and squirt, if you know what I mean. I should have laid some aside - I would not need it now.
But the loss of long-term anonymity has created a real problem here.

Can someone tell me what a ‘snigger’ is? Cos’ around these parts if I said that to the wrong person I might get my lights punched out.
It’s an alteration of the word “snicker.” No idea what prompted the alteration, but from what I’ve been able to gather its etymology is no more interesting than that and seems not to have any racial motives.
What Mindifield said. I suppose it must just be a U.K. word, but it has no connection with that racist word. Of course, you might still get your lights punched out by the kind of idiot who would get upset at the word “niggardly”. So, for safety’s sake, just don’t talk to idiots.
So, if Britain needs sperm and Mars needs women, there would appear to be an obvious basis of trade.
You lot shouldn’t have a man advertising this campaign when you’ve got Keeley Hazell (SFW but racy) living right there. That’s like asking Bozo the Clown to get you through WWII while Winston Churchill reads the evening news!
Most workplaces I’ve been in here in the UK will have a few copies of The Sun laying about, so the opportunity to observe Keeley’s “assets” in all their glory are common. If The Sun is ok for the office, there isn’t too much that is NSFW. Odd thing is, most places will filter The Sun’s Page 3 website, but old newspapers containing the same material will stack up forever in the corner.

We believe, of course, that “snigger” is the root and “snicker” the variation.
Censorware on another messageboard once changed the word to “s(Ban Me!)”.
Now see; I’m up for donating but the new “childrens’ right to know” laws taking away donor anonymity are where I lose my will to donate.
The government has equated the children born via donated gametes to children that have been adopted and have a right to know where they come from. If I were to donate my sprerm to help a couple otherwise incapable of conceiving, I’d be happy to know I was helping them be happy and have nothing more to do with the process whatsoever. Law needs changing back, IM(and most other people’s)O.
For a more serious question, how is it that they could have voted that in to begin with? How did a “child’s right to know” trump a donor’s right to privacy? I can understand if you knocked a girl up and then took off. There is at the very least a certain amount of emotional investment in the baby-making procedure for at least one of the two people involved, not to mention that the act of making that baby was deliberate and consensual and that there are responsibilities involved with the outcome. But sperm donation does not have any of that. Just because you donated the sperm doesn’t mean that the eventual product of that donation makes you its father in any meaningful way. You provided the genetic material and absolutely nothing more. You have no more right to call that child your son or daughter than it does to call you its father. So why did the government suddenly decide that this really is not the case after all?
It has been a gradual process, that started with adoption rights. If a child who was adopted has a right to discover their birth parents and siblings, then, by extension, so does a child born via sperm donation.
There are a few genetic issues that do crop up as well - if the donor developed (in later life) a genetic disease that could be treated early in their offspring, then the children probably have a right to know about that.
And I do think that within most people is a drive to know where they came from - and if you know that one of your parents wasn’t a biological parent (no matter the emotional situation) maybe that drive is so strong that you HAVE to know - I think for many adopted/donor children, that is the case.
Of course, it could be solve by a simple entry on the Birth Certificate:
