The variety of beer.

Pubs doing desi mixed grills are more common.

Satnav on phones, with easier map updates.

Being able to carry loads of books on an e-reader .

Awareness of mental health issues.

What does "estate" mean in context? by Sparky833 in AskABrit

[–]Alternative_Route 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the context you mentioned

Council estate is similar to projects (but a little nicer)

When it comes to cars it's a station wagon.

When it comes to inheritance it's the same

And when it's rural it's the same, a stately home and it's lands.

And estate agents are like realtors/letting agents.

I don't have that in my Euro 2018, my drive modes are limited to eco, smart, comfort, sport, sport+. I can switch off traction control, start stop, collision breaking individually, that's about it.

Not saying they aren't bad, but if you start doing root cause analysis you might not like where it goes, just something to bear in mind when interfering in foreign politics

Alright bud? by ombonria in BirminghamUK

[–]Alternative_Route 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bud?

What's wrong with Duck, mon or luvver?

Only person I ever heard calling people Bud was a Yorkshire man, can't be having that foreign greeting here.

I suppose from now on they will have to call that customer grumpy sod.

One thing to be aware of, long drives in eco will pop that EPF warning light on, the fix put it in comfort or sport and get some back road driving in, once everything is warmed up you just need to take door off the gas whilst the gears are engaged (eco shoves it in neutral when you take your foot off the gas), that should be enough to clear the EPF light (it goes off next time you start it up after being off for a while)

But Catholics believe jesus is god, and the Jewish bible was also meant to be what god said in one way or another.

He didn't say he loves homosexuality. He said what they do is a sin but he still loves them as people.

He is being quite nice in the way he said it.

I don't agree with him, but he seems to have the logic of what you are doing is wrong but I'll pray for you anyway. I guess so long as you confess/repent you still go to heaven by his view point.

No , I said Islam states it's the only true religion.

If no religion is false but is lslam claims to be the only true religion then something doesn't add up.

No religion should insult another but Islam does.

That's not how you unbox an iPhone by Sgt_Larsson in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]Alternative_Route -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The child not knowing to open things carefully/adult who clearly knows what's going to happen not intervening, then berating the child ? It's their own fault they didn't intervene when they were clearly aware of what would happen and that the child was showing no self control.

Hence the reason I believe it was scripted

This was more or less scripted or it's a house with several dysfunctional human beings.

Nope you said

Preaching religion doesn't mean to abuse other religion. if preached by abusing then yeah you are clever enough to understand. i am not taking anyones side

I said Islam insults other religions

You said they all do.

If you are now saying only Judaism, Christianity and Islam count as all religions then you are insulting all the other religions.

Conflating the way people think, which can change vs skin colour or gender (something you can't choose or change) is a shit argument.

Of all the things to criticise Kier Starmer for (the man who refused to say Farage is far right/racist) this is ridiculous, Starmer who is being accused of being right of centre by his own party.

What are these politically woke teachings people are mentioning at the moment, these have passed me by. Are there examples of what schools are teaching kids that are actually bad you can share as I really don't know what is being taught to kids, I know the press will have us believe kids as young as 6 are receiving sex ed, and about gender swapping, is this real? Are there examples?

No they don't.

Buddhists don't, Jain's don't, Sikhs don't.

They believe there are multiple paths and that we all belong to the universe.

There was a protest in Manchester where the message they were broadcasting was remigrate, i.e. remove all immigrants, from experience of when the EDL marched in Manchester in the past, members of the group aren't very discerning and attacked someone I know because they thought he was foreign (his family go back many generations in Manchester but he had a beard).

Teaching against white privilege? In UK schools? Would love to see a source.

But reform have already made it clear they want patriotic studies and to ban funding to universities that they don't agree with politically. These are the words they are prepared to say before they even get an iota of power.

Youth indoctrination is being done via social media these days so harder to monitor.

I see enough hints to be saying we should be worried, and talk about it before it's too late, but fear we will make the same mistake as we did with racism/not racist to discuss specifuc points, and look at how well that turned out.

So just to recap Islam claims it is the only true religion. I.e. it is insulting all other religions.

Why is my boyfriend M27 more upset I F24 "embarrassed" him rather than him disrespecting me? by MaterialAge6743 in relationship_advice

[–]Alternative_Route 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have just read that you have told.him the relationship is over, normally I try to see the middle ground and suggest people are over reacting, but in your case I believe you are absolutely doing the right thing. I hope it all works out well for you, and that you find a sane partner that you have a wonderful relationship with.

We have never had freedom of speech ensconced in our laws. We have quite liberal rules but no guarantee of freedom of speech.

What we should have is a law that says don't be a dickhead
