Re: The confessional

I once ate a 1kg bag of mini eggs in 2 days. It's a wonder I didn't turn diabetic or something.

Re: Evolving language

Tell me about it. Apparently it's no longer acceptable to say "that's gay" to mean "that's a bit shit". Typical PC soup-of-the-day nonsense

Re: Class of 2007

Ooo, this is me.

If I knew then what I know now I doubt I'd have bothered to come here in the first place, but now I'm here it's alright really.

Re: Canada Baby First Without Gender

This is very north american.

People here have seem to have really fixed ideas of gender roles. Instead of questioning societies different expectations of the two genders they believe it's more...

Re: UK election June 8

In retrospect I think they held the tories in check to a greater extent than they are given credit. Especially the authoritarian crap that May wanted to push through (and is now doing).

Still, it...

I've got a jar in the fridge. I should probably get round to opening it and eating them.

Re: Digital Media Players - tips?

I know people that have those kodi android tv boxes and they swear by them. It's a bit murky legally though (and no, I don't have one - I just use my PS4 and the TV's smart features)

Re: British treats you can't get here:

Choc brazils are sold in bulk at every supermarket I've been in. Can't vouch for the quality of the chocolate though as I've never bought them.

Re: Hello :)

I used to know a German. He had a beard before they were popular, so I suppose that would make him a bit of a hipster now-a-days.

Re: Man's surname too offensive for NS Car plate ...

You know when you see a proper media outlet do a story about something Canadian and the local media just can't help themselves but report on it. This is like the opposite of that. When I saw it...

Re: Man's surname too offensive for NS Car plate ...

This guy knew what he was doing. Maybe it's in his rights, but he's still an arsehole.


The euphemism treadmill will corrupt anything anyone can come up with, regardless of how positive it seems...

Re: Iconic album covers

ITT:
- People stretching the meaning of "iconic" to mean stuff they like.

Re: Busman's holiday- testing out NHS care

I went to ER back in October last year. Arrived 10:45pm, left 11:30pm after being sorted out. Was very impressed with the level of service given that I have to wait longer than that at a GP even...
