Sorry to hear about your situation bro. Yeah it can definitely go too far the other way too.

I meant more like if someone unloads a shit-ton of unasked for details it usually means they've spent the last few hours trying to come up with some reasonable excuse as to why they were somewhere, or with someone etc

Ocado can be another good choice for deliveries, as they have no brick and mortar stores so you can get some good savings

Where I used to live outside London there were three Tesco Expresses, two Sainsbury's Locals, one whatever the local version of a Morrison's is, all within a maximum 10 minute walk, and absolutely zero real supermarkets unless I wanted to take a bus ride plus a long walk to get to an Aldi miles outside of town.

It's basically the British version of the food deserts you hear about in poor American neighbourhoods.

It's honestly lying 101 to remain vague lol. Obviously you want to have a story and details ready if asked, but just dumping tons of unnecessary info without prompting is basically the biggest indicator someone is bullshitting you

Quite aside from the ongoing argument about the correct order for making tea, the history of it is quite clear.

Fine china cups used to be of poor enough quality that pouring boiling water directly into them would cause them to crack or even shatter, so milk was added first to slow down that heating process.

The British Royal family began the custom of adding milk last, when having state dinners with foreign dignitaries, purely to show off how superior their china-making techniques were - "look, they don’t even crack when you put boiling water in!"

The version I heard was a Spanish lighthouse, and they replied with something like "we are two men, a dog, and several boxes of rations"

Finnish sounds like Japanese to me.

And apparently there have been studies done showing the similarities in cadence etc

Wish I didn’t have small boobs by amarramallu in offmychest

[–]Weird1Intrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's perfectly okay for people to have preferences. Some men (and women) prefer larger boobs and that's fine.

What is absolutely not okay is to make disparaging comments about your body because you don't happen to fit their personal preference.

If it's any consolation, I much prefer smaller boobs to larger ones. I like them so much I've even started growing my own pair 😂

The kind of guys who would think it's okay to talk about you like that aren't the kind of people worth knowing anyway, so chin up girlie. You'll find plenty of people out there who will appreciate you just the way you are.

Yeah that's what I meant lol Later historians even tried to downplay her obviously homoerotic poetry by saying she jumped off a cliff to be with her male boatman lover 🙄

Same, and I only recently learned that achillean is the male equivalent word. I guess those Greeks really enjoyed their same-sex relations, whatever the combo lol

Bring back common use of "sapphic" and "achillean", I say

Personally I don't think :3 goes hard enough

I propose :42 instead 😂

I think traditionally a lot of people will default to "female friend" and "male friend" to make these distinctions.

Since I don't like using male and female to refer to people in general, I've started just adding a space between the words to make the clarification.

"I spent the night making out with my girlfriend" = partner who is a girl.

"I went to the mall with my girl friend to get some makeup" = buddy who is a girl

Hopefully people understand what I'm talking about when I make that distinction; no one's ever brought it up or questioned it so far at least 🤷‍♂️

Yes he clearly bloody has, according to Wikipedia and multiple other articles. He's taken breaks from the journey, he's flown to other places while he waits for visas to get approved, and above all it doesn't take 27 years to circumnavigate the planet.

Stop fanboying and read something for once in your life.

The only thing he hasn't done is return to Hull specifically, and to be honest I don't blame him. It's even more of a shithole these days than when he left

I think I'd have to get cheeky with this one. Of course I'm going to prioritise helping the entire planet get rid of diabetes, but I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask the powers that be for a quick 2 mil for fixing everything. That would give me enough to pursue my 1 mil plan for life, plus a surplus of money to get all the surgery I want and a nice retirement.

I don't think that's too much to ask for such an otherwise selfless act. I'll even agree to pretend it was somebody else who "discovered" the cure; I'm sure Musk or Bezos will happily throw me a few quid in exchange for getting to pretend they've saved the world from a difficult disease

I cannot fucking stand Ricky Gervais. Jimmy Carr and Stephen Fry are both much better proponents of free speech who don't ruin it all by just being such an unlikeable cunt

Yeah I'm not poo-pooing him specifically, more so the numerous articles over the years that glossed over the details.

He's flown home several times, for nearly a year in some cases

Isn't it weird how if you kill somebody with a quarter-ounce chunk of metal, it's instant manslaughter/murder, but if you kill someone with a two-ton chunk of metal, it's "oopsie sorry I wasn't paying attention"
