        I suspect the issue isn't the non-IT subject...

        So the commentator probably already realised they were in Boot Notes but maybe struggling with the mental torment caused by this particular topic.

        Not everyone enjoys reading about the dangers that lurk around the home for unsuspecting male genitalia...

          Then he should avoid posts with subjects such as "Irish woman doesn't go down after scrotum ripping assault"

          There is no ambiguity about the content of the story.

          No point reading it and then complaining that he didn't want to read it.

      Give em a break, Reg journalists don't get paid much and trolling the Intertube for scrotal related violence is considered a perk ...

    Equality?

    I'm wondering if men did the equivalent if they would avoid prison too.

    This is an example of someone who scratched a breat (not burst it open note) will be interesting to see if he is shown the same leniency as these women.

      Of course he won't. It'll be declared a sexual assault, he'll go to jail, have his name put on the sex offenders register and his life will effectively be over.

    Well.

    the article neglected to mention that she is a Northsider.

    Balls up?

    'While Desmond was calling the police, he felt "a sharp pain in his scrotum area", a police officer told the court.'

    What? He didn't notice her go down on him? Or did he think he was in luck and was going to get a BJ? What a load of bollox. Or was it a cock-up? (On second thoughts, she never went there...)

    Coat, so I can find my needle and thread.

    Wife beating

    And to think.. women's groups want the police to allow women to perform checks on new boyfriends to see whether they're the right kind of person, whist saying the same kind of checks on women by men would be sinister stalkerish behaviour more suited to a job interview rather than a human relationship...

    Wow

    Real balls-up for justice there. It's nuts she only got a suspended sentence. He's going to have trouble in the sack for quite a while.

    These things come in threes

    Also, why did it take four years to come to trial?

    Where's the link..

    To Jeremy Kyle?

    I reckon they deserve each other.

    I guessing quite a few whimpers, a mass crossing of legs, an outbreak of wincing and several sotto voce oaths too.

    He wants to put the issue behind him?

    His testicle must have been extruded to quite some length.

    I recall this from 2005 - it kind of stuck round in my mind - ouch !!! It's incidents like this is why I always hide the kitchen knives when I have the ladies round ...
