Why the hell am I being downvoted here?

I’m 60 in 4 months so I have 0 sympathy.

Porn you found in hedges. It was a big part of growing up in England back then, trust me.

I’ve done 20 every night for about 40 years, don’t think I’m gonna change now

No because it makes it sound less horrific than it actually is. I would replace with ‘blown to pieces’.

Whatever you did when you were 6, and however terrible it was, you were SIX. You were too young to really be responsible for your actions. Stop beating yourself up about it and keep on being the good person you obviously are nowadays.

In the UK in the 1970s we were shown cross sections of male and family reproductive organs and copied pages out of a textbook about the essential mechanics. I can’t remember any discussion or moral guidance in the slightest. But then at that point I was well into my ‘hedge porn’ stage so that’s how I really educated myself.

Democracy is only appropriate when the society in question is willing to accept the results of a democratic vote. If divisions in the society are so ingrained that this doesnt happen, then democracy doesn’t work.

My cat eats mushrooms and pineapple. But then, he is a very silly cat.

Top Hole!

A very strange post. I live in a mid size English town (not a city) and can find all the cuisines you mention within a one mile radius of our town centre. Plus numerous others such as Greek, Turkish, French, Egyptian, Portuguese, Bangladeshi. Even American, god help me.

I can celebrate all the holidays you mention if I wanted to. Why wouldn’t I be able to?

You really need to get out more.

Nothing can be too moist.

He didn’t do a lot of walking after tbf

Same as every weekend - doing my damndest to avoid any activity whatsoever.

When I was a child I saw a school mate get crushed by a falling piano.

True story.

UK here. I get 30 days paid leave a year, and will have 2 or 3 weeks away on vacation throughout the year and use the rest of the days for just chilling.

My employer will literally hassle me to use all the days, and is not happy if I don’t take my full entitlement.

Uk here. Peep Show, Black adder, Dad’s Army and The Sopranos.

I did hate X but am off that cesspit now. I hate hate hate what Facebook has become. I can now only bear to go on there about once a month and everytime I get angry as fuck.

I miss MySpace.

Yes I can. And disagree with virtually everyone else; I think that this along with virtually everything else by Dickens is absolutely top class writing. The meaning of every individual phrase isn’t the point, the whole passage just gives the perfect impression of the scene he is trying to convey. Also, remember much of Dickens’ stuff was written to be read out loud. Try that, it helps!

This is your safe place 😊
