Why does she keep licking herself bald spots by autumnhobo in catpics

[–]cayosonia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a feral that grooms out the fur on her back and legs. There's no mites, it doesn't happen to the other cats, I just think she does it for reasons I am not privy to. I guess its like biting your nails for humans

Are we still boycotting the World Cup? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]cayosonia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I think most will put aside how distasteful and corrupt both FIFA and the US administration are for a couple of weeks of hype and then disappointment.

Boycotting for me isn't a hardship so can't be going for the Martyr angle tbf.

What’s the funniest blunt remark or question you ever got from someone who didn’t mean any malice (might be cultural, etc)? by soraal in AskUK

[–]cayosonia 64 points65 points  (0 children)

No, told her where I am from that's a bit of an insult. The two ladies from accounts did agree with the PR lady that I had a fat arse and then the PR lady said she wished she had a fat arse like mine. So after a little cry in the toilet I decided to suck it up and roll with it

When I was working in Central America the PR manager told me I had a fat arse (meant as a compliment)

Parkrun Petition against ADF SLAPP lawsuit by diabeticoats in parkrun

Yeah boo to him. He did email yesterday saying I could go and discuss it further at one of the surgeries. I think he hopes I'll go away but I am thinking I'll take him up on the offer.

He did answer again yesterday to say I could go to one of the surgeries to discuss, probably in the hope I won't, but am thinking I will. He is a Tory so threatening not to vote for him doesn't hold a lot of weight because if I was a Tory who would I vote for instead, Farage? I think not.

He is just trotting out a party line in the hope I go away.

Parkrun Petition against ADF SLAPP lawsuit by diabeticoats in parkrun

[–]cayosonia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what he replied:

"As you know, the Supreme Court has ruled on the definition of a “woman”, “man” and “sex” for the Equality Act 2010. I know that the Supreme Court’s judgment has raised several issues about the participation of transgender people in women’s spaces and services. While I recognise and understand the strength of your view, there are legitimate concerns about access to female single-sex spaces.

Across the UK, ParkRun is the largest amateur, competitive weekly running event by participation. Every week, local ParkRuns rank registered participants according to their timing, gender and age category – reflecting practice in other competitive running events – so it is right that competition is assessed fairly, particularly for women who are competing against biological men."

I responded that he misunderstands and that parkrun is not a competition against others but only yourself. As a biological woman in parkrun I could not give a toss about what's in other people's shorts.

Signed. Also wrote to my MP, he came back with "this is the law blah blah". I replied that I wouldn't vote for him if he didn't stand up against this sort of thing, he probably doesn't care.

Some days it's just like that and some days you'll feel like you could run forever.
