Isn't it an extension of the normal monitoring companies do when they recruit, we just had to apply for school for our three year old and the form was extensive and seemed to be mainly religion and ethnicity questions about us and her.

I've just formally applied for a job - the first time I've done so for decades. Is it usual to be asked about sexual orientation and whether your present gender is the same as you were born with?

What fucking difference can that make to whether you are suitable or not?

Probably because being Gay or trans gender means they can employ you & tick something off their must employ list

It's totally normal. 90% of jobs have a 'equal opportunities' form these days. It'll say somewhere that it won't have any baring on your application, just that they collect the data to know who's applying.

We're not the people who make people famous. We're the people who sit and type away on a football forum that is proudly full of bollocks. We're meant to hate them, that's the whole point.

Yet go and ask any girl between 12 and 25 who they're favourite person is on Snapchat...

I don't see what your point is. We shouldn't be annoyed that vapid people are becoming famous because we're not their target audience? Why should that matter? Perhaps it could even be argued that those 12 to 25 year olds need better 'role models'.

Nb: I am a 25 year old 'girl' and my favourite person on snapchat is not her.

Reality?

Yeah it's the norm these days. You don't have to answer though iirc.

I started a new job in August and a couple of weeks ago moved floors.

The team in front of me is made up of 3 women, ALL who speak much louder than they need, and about shite mainly.

Its like being in a fucking episode of Loose Women for 8 hours a day.

Ok, so I'm curious - how is she making you watch it?
