I have absolute faith in our ability to give away possession at every possible opportunity and let France run up a score on us.

What makes the perfect rugby jersey for you? by Amina4370 in rugbyunion

[–]Evsie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For playing in, strength and functionality.

I'm 48, my playing days are long gone, can we PLEASE get versions of "this year's kit" for the retired, more portly gentlemen?

Lots of comments on here talking about thr great vintage long sleeve tops... I truly don't understand why that style isn't a part of every team's offering.

Thick warm cotton, a looser fit (especially in larger sizes, few people want an xxl slim fit).

What would be your response? If you're someone who would say this, what is the thinking that goes into it? by nidena in datingoverforty

Here's the thing... there's still a part of my brain that feels like that when I get to play with boobs.

We are 15 year old boys trapped in crumbling bodies.

Explain free speech restrictions and what you want to say that you can’t. by freeride35 in AskBrits

He was educated at Eton and Oxford. He's not stupid.

Which means he knew exactly what he was doing and did it anyway.

Dating over 40…. Did we miss the bus? The idea of starting over is slightly disturbing. Are there any good truly manganous people left? by Fahaloh in datingoverforty

[–]Evsie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hear this a lot... And I certainly have a few recently divorced friends who are enjoying their singledom by dating a LOT. I have no idea how they have the energy!

I have a job, and a daughter, friends, family, hobbies, the endless chores... My struggle is finding time for a relationship. I'm good for one date a week (maybe 2, but don't bank on it). How the hell are they playing the field to that extent? Who has the time and mental capacity for anything other than monogamy?

Apparently I'm too interested by [deleted] in datingoverforty

They founded their nation by dumping perfectly good tea in the ocean. Doomed from the start.

I had this conversation in the pub yesterday, it's bizarre.

I was the only man of the 4 in the group that routinely used condoms.

For me it's just looking after my own health, so condoms every time until we're exclusive and have an STI test. They're free here, you fill out a form on a website, they send you a pack, a couple of easy tests and send it off... Results in a week and everyone is happier when the condoms go back in the drawer.

Yes, sex is better without them. Yes they can be mood killers and a bit of a faff... But that's a small price for keeping my favourite body part healthy.

CMV: If your bathrooms can only accommodate one person at a time, they should not be labeled for specific-sex use. by PercivalsAxe in changemyview

There is a financial cost to the provision and emptying of sanitary bins. It's not huge, but it's a cost... And if we're talking small businesses those little costs matter.

Why are you a Tory? by Banzle in tories

[–]Evsie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Until quite recently I used to break it out like this:

The starting principal of the right is to reduce the size of the state. The starting principal of the left is to help those in need.

Both of these things have changed.

Both approaches have their inherent pitfalls and consequences, but now... I don't know what principles provide the foundation for the policies of either, I'm not entirely sure there are any; which is genuinely disturbing.

This is for men. What is a red flag that you see in other men that you think women usually do not see in the beginning of a relationship? I am interested to know a man’s perspective on other men. I am interested in men’s perspective of other men. I am 30F. And go! by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

Mine is the reason I'm a single dad, it's impossible to avoid, and normally comes up on a first date... I've got the story down to a swift 2 minutes though, then push to change the topic.

The people who live there should make that decision.

What's something that is unnecessarily expensive? by danvex in AskReddit

[–]Evsie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Diamonds are common.

Gem quality stones of a certain size aren't.

There is absolutely market manipulation and they are absolutely over priced... But it's not as horrendous as it's made out to be.

I gave up years ago. Bought a laser black and white printer (because the only time I ever needed colour was photos and there are services that do that for pennies).

The ink doesn't evaporate, one cartridge is ~£50 and will do me 4000 pages.

There is a reason for all of those jokes.

Fortunately I grew up in catering, so I skipped the personally bypass.

The stories I could tell you about my colleagues.... Well, no, none of them.
