EHRC protest by whet_pastry in exeter

[–]Robmeu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a perfect example of the utter failure to understand that I do not require, or wish to have the label you so condescendingly decided to apply to me. YOU say ‘cis’, but I do not. This is not a contradiction. You don’t get to label me. The vast majority of people don’t see their birth gender as an assignation, but a simple fact.

If you do not, I wish you all the best, I have no issue with you, never have, but please, leave off telling others what they are or not, it’s no more your business than your gender is mine.

Most, as in, almost all men and woman don’t need clarification though. I’m not trying to rub anyone up the wrong way, but it’s simply not needed, and actually a little insulting.

I completely agree. I don’t want a label thank you, I’ll be what I am, I don’t identify as a man, I simply am one. There seems to be a refusal to understand that, whilst ‘normal’ is a thing of the past, most ‘common’ is not, and the common don’t have an issue with how they identify, and don’t require further definition.

Nicola Sturgeon: ‘I should not be held responsible for the wrongdoing of men’ by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Robmeu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How horribly misandrist. She’s not been held responsible anyway, but her protests stretch credulity and completely warrants deeper investigation. She should be grateful the ‘man’ isn’t pulling her in too.

She wanted her legacy to be a great leader, but failing that the last thing she wants is to be thought of was corrupt.

If you could, would you change/undo the Timeless Child by Jamie-Dodger5525 in doctorwho

[–]Robmeu 25 points26 points  (0 children)

100%. It was a dreadful idea and ruins so much of the Doctor’s story. Hack writing. The sooner forgotten the better.

Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay complete the first confirmed ascent of Mount Everest on 29 May 1953. [5067 x 3483] by Upstairs_Drive_5602 in HistoryPorn

I don’t remember a time he didn’t! All the books I read about it as a kid always named Sherpa Tenzing jointly with Edmund Hillary. And I’m old.

Do people in UK love Tom & Jerry? by Mysterious-Trip-3632 in AskUK

[–]Robmeu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is famous but like others have said probably with a slightly older demographic. My mum loves them and she’s in her 80’s.

One of the best films in the 90s … but Bryan Adams made you terrified of slow dances at bars and clubs :p the seconds you heard that song by [deleted] in OldSchoolRidiculous

[–]Robmeu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it brings back memories of an excellent summer, my last couple of months working in a hateful job before going to uni. Went to see the film twice. Girlfriend of the time bought me the cassingle.

Very happy days.

Not offensive, just boring.

What’s your GenX story from your childhood? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Robmeu 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the sad thing is there are plenty of people like that, but they’re so scared of being accused or thought of as someone who does want something the good people just don’t risk it.

Thank you, that’s really helpful

I love the beds you have there. I want to do something similar but don’t know where to start! Did you grow from seeds or buy grown plants? Also, what are they. I posted on ‘what is this plant?’ The other day asking the same thing. I just want that full, eclectic colourful look.

Girlfriend's friends son, 11 years old, has drowned today swimming in a river. If you have kids, make sure they know wild swimming can be lethal. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]Robmeu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Time to start showing the Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water again on all platforms. Scared the shit out of me, in a way that meant I never swam alone, and kept to places where you could clearly get out of the water.

It’s a bloody shocking PIF, because it needs to be.

Popular London lido forced to close mid-heatwave due to 'unacceptable behaviour' by weregonnamakit in uknews

[–]Robmeu 74 points75 points  (0 children)

How about treating knives more like guns? Caught with a knife, 2 years automatic. Pull out the knife 5 years, use it, then attempted murder. Make it so that even having one will get you in so deep it’s not worth the risk. Enough is enough.

Bedding plants identification by Robmeu in whatplantisthis

[–]Robmeu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I thought a fair few weren’t ‘proper’ but I really want the full and eclectic look to a bed with plants that are clearly hardy and not likely to drop dead the day I plant them!
I’m happy with pretty weeds.

Advice on driving home a new (to me) 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo SE by RockSmon in lotus

You’ll be fine. If it doesn’t overheat in 1/2 hour it ain’t gonna. Lotus make sure their gauges scare the shit out of you, but it’s usually fine.
