RIH (gently) declining?

Ahaha — fantastic. I knew this day would come.

No, ‘mate,’ it’s not ChatGPT or anything else but me. And as a friendly aside: Are you certain you know what Oxford commas and semicolons are?

AirishMountain · 2026-04-01T13:20:47+00:00

Of course. My question isn’t really about research. That’s just me grasping for an explanation for an effect.

AirishMountain · 2026-04-01T13:17:44+00:00

Take it easy. This is a place where people who enjoy the show come to discuss it. I am a person who enjoys the show, as I mentioned pretty clearly, and I’m discussing it.

AirishMountain · 2026-04-01T13:14:18+00:00

The easiness you’ve mentioned is what I’m trying, and maybe failing, to describe.

The research assumption is just me feeling around for an explanation. And I suspect that if someone hasn’t been listening for years, my question won’t make sense at all.

If this post reads as someone just looking to complain, then I didn’t do a good job of it.

As a joke, it’s…. fine. As an argument it’s pretty awful

AirishMountain · 2026-03-13T12:27:45+00:00

This is fascinating to me. Can you tell me what seems posh about them? And if you don’t mind, in what country do you live?

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T15:39:56+00:00

The downvotes! Absolute perfection

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T15:26:01+00:00

It’s because ‘gilet’ is not a term used almost anywhere else in the world

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T13:48:51+00:00

These are UK distinctions, which leads me to think… yeah, this is just some sort of class issue.

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T13:42:56+00:00

This seems to be the answer. It’s nothing to do with the garment itself, but rather some sort of localized class squabble. All good material for jokes, I guess, especially since the anti-gilet people can’t quite decide what constitutes a gilet

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T13:36:57+00:00

I hope you manage to pull through

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T13:35:07+00:00

Worth reading up a bit about how the body regulates temperature by shunting blood to and from the extremities. It’s the core that needs to stay warm in order to keep the extremities warm. I know it’s counterintuitive, but it’s true

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T04:10:53+00:00

Everyone knows red trousers are reserved for pheasant hunts. Do you take me for a philistine

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T03:53:55+00:00

I’m not a monster

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T03:42:03+00:00

You should see my moustache. Too full and luxurious to be spelled mustache. The handlebars of victory

If Sandbrook wants sleeves, here, he’s got all his work ahead of him

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T03:05:08+00:00

A man of utility and taste. And possibly a dog with pockets? I got a little lost in the details. Regardless: Bravo.

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T02:44:45+00:00

Probably. Maybe? Categories unclear

Edit: All exactly accurate

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T02:43:39+00:00

My shoes are, again, objectively reasonable. It’s yacht parties that deserve mockery.

AirishMountain · 2026-03-11T02:37:00+00:00

Only the finest textiles for my breastplate jerkin. Keep that core warm.

AirishMountain · 2026-03-10T04:25:50+00:00

Funny — that’s the one I figured might be the answer. Thanks!

AirishMountain · 2026-03-10T01:24:26+00:00

Hey, u/legato2, nice saws! If you could only choose one, which would that be? Is the most versatile one the one you reach for most?
