Mr & Mrs behind the net curtains have a bit of self awareness and a sense of the ridiculous that's completely lacking in the joyless and just generally thick-as-shit nudists.

Don't you think they, "Mr & Mrs behind the net curtains", might occasionally fantasise about stripping off into their underwear and dancing wildly in the street outside their homes during a pelting warm summer skin soaking rainstorm?

That's not 'normal' behaviour though - screening the Radio Times to ensure we don't stumble across (pre-watershed) content that may have an upsetting effect on us due to personal experience. So in reality you're no more "choosing to view" it than you're choosing to see Gough naked by choosing to go outside rather than remain indoors.
Lol.And in response to your edit - Dibble's on my side - Now there's novel
The argument they're putting to excuse one but not the other is spurious to say the least though isn't it?

Quite possibly, but fantasies are best kept in the realm of fantasy. Coz, one way or another, making it a reality will likely cause problems or, at the very least, disappoint. And probably result in catching your death of cold.
A fact which the (entirely fictitious) Mr & Mrs behind the nets understand instinctively.

Undoubtedly. And I'm not down with that naked bike ride either. But you're right, it shouldn't be one rule for one and one rule for another.
But I would argue that looking in a TV guide to plan your nights viewing is fairly normal. And yeah, I do choose the telly I watch.

Diagnosis on the internet. Don't do it, folks - it's usually crap, and it always looks bad.
You probably have a point there but once in a while reality lives up to the anticipated fantasy and is well worth the sand in your crack, catching a cold etc.
I'll take your word for that - I'm still sitting on a doughnut-cushion after that time in the bogs on the trans euro express though.
Fair enough, but you'll be more likely to die wondering - your choice. *shrug*

I have wondered if there may be something wrong, but what he is doing is just outside my limited experience of the variety of mental health issues.
There's clearly sumat wrong with him - Dunno about PTSD though, could be, from his forces days, could be somethin else. But the fact that he'd rather keep going in an out of prison and walk up and down the country with nowt on instead of being there for his Mrs and his kids ffs tells you loud and clear all's not right with the guy.

Evolution doesn't work that fast. Our societal norms may have "evolved", but we haven't. Though most of us would probably be dead if we dispensed with clothing altogether (see what I did there?Humans have been wearing clothes for 170,000 years... I reckon in alot of situations/circumstances our 'natural state of being' has evolved to be clothed more often than not
)
Yeah, that's how long since yer mam last changed her smalls.

To be honest that's my problem with him - his choices. I'd rather it was something really important that you went into pacificist-Bronson mode over, that you abandoned your life over, that you kept on doing to the detriment of your health. His choice of course and as I've said, as I'm sure everyone agrees, the police/court reaction is the real problem. However he's the one who thinks it's so important that it over-rides the interests of those who might not want to see his winky. For whatever reason, be it mental health or bloody mindedness, it's a good(ish) point made badly or, more accurately, made for too long in an obsessive way. Best reaction is to leave him alone, but he could make that a bit easier.

Actually, it can do... but in this case, yes- it is probably more a case of phenotypic adaptation rather than evolution. You could argue that the evolution of Hominidae, culminating in Homo sapiens, our gradual loss of body hair, use of tools (in this case clothes) has led us to our current 'natural state' being one of a clothed form.. Which was what I was getting at.
Yes.

Does the origin of body lice correlate with clothing?
Do naked people not get lice?

Have you read that paper?
What they are saying is that body lice, which is a distinctly different sub species to head lice.. Evolved with the advent of clothing in one form or another
Thats just one paper but there is a loads of evidence highlighting that humans have been wearing clothing for between 100-200,000 years
Hold on a minute... If body lice only evolved because we started wearing clothes thousands of years ago, maybe we should all go back to being naked!

In Florida years ago with my then Spanish girlfriend, she accosted a policeman about going topless on the beach which she explained to him she did all the time in Spain. The policeman reacted as if she had been snorting cocaine in front of him or something .. he was simply outraged!

he was on telly once climbing up a lamp post, that took some trouble and there was anus and balls everywhere . It was a sphincter/scrotum holocaust
i refuse to look, any sign of him on any media and i put my hands over my eyes. Hes then rendered incapable of assaulting me visually with either his genitals or anus. The immodest git .
