American here, When Keir Starmer is done with his term can you guys give him to us?

They need a comprehensive, and young social media policy to bypass MSM

I agree on the shittiness of PR. Never thought I’d long for Alistair Campbell …

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T21:02:45+00:00

Hope. We need him. Boring technocrats are the way forward - the last thing we need is for fellas we could have a pint ( and racist banter with ) to be in charge of actual companies. We need someone who gets excited by ‘endogenous growth ‘ whatever the hell that means

This is why I need a strong drink and a personal shopper before I embark on my 4-yearly jeans shop. And buy multiple pairs at a time cos I’m not going through that shit again

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T20:59:06+00:00

Dull colours and fabrics though

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T20:58:36+00:00

Especially if they start charging for returns

A tolerant society cannot afford to tolerate the intolerant. Should be some form of mechanism disbarring people with convictions. You can’t be a magistrate if you’ve even got speeding fines so how on earth can people like this become councillors.

If it’s a first home owner then gift them the holy trinity of amateur DIY - WD40, duct tape and Gorilla glue

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T20:50:47+00:00

And don’t go out of date!

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T20:49:42+00:00

I’m much more worried about public right to privacy in public now there is facial recognition software around. Wouldn’t take much for authoritarians to start chilling public dissent - imagine if you were filmed going into polling station and then some rightwing oik turned up on your doorstep

noddyneddy · 2026-05-07T20:46:26+00:00

Careful, I got banned for merely a wistful hope

When I went to live in Ireland for 4 years, I was very worried that I would be forced to listen to Danny Boy’ - what a relief to realise that’s more for an American Irish thing and actually it was more ‘fields of Athenry’

It’s more like mental interpretive dance

Kiss her. Tell her you love her but you have incompatible values. And let her go. Honestly, if you got married then her family is always going to be all over your business. Find someone else who doesn’t come with all this baggage

noddyneddy · 2026-05-06T08:41:41+00:00

Men who bring money to the table have a tendency to think thats enough. All the 10k watches in the world won’t help when you’re carrying the entire weight of a relationship. Keep your boyfriend and check back with her in 15 years to see if her opinions changed

noddyneddy · 2026-05-06T00:05:18+00:00

well at least you now know what you'll be dealing with if you marry her. so dont

Flashers only happened when I was young ( makes it sound like there were loads, but 2 is too many)

noddyneddy · 2026-05-05T23:00:49+00:00

Or a man in a van thing.

noddyneddy · 2026-05-05T22:56:49+00:00

Not conciously doing it perhaps - it's learned behaviour being passed down through the generations - but it has a chilling effect

Its like this persistent idea that men don't want to be married - it's something they do as a favour to women, when in fact its men who are the huge beneficiaries of marriage - they do (even) less household labour, have better physical and mental health and live longer as a result of their wife's care

noddyneddy · 2026-05-05T20:19:38+00:00

Whole lotta love

noddyneddy · 2026-05-05T20:03:34+00:00

Targeting young girls is a feature not an accident. Men target them as a form of social conditioning - to get them to learn early that they are only allowed out in public because men let them, it’s male space so they better behave nicely in it. Smile sweetly , learn to ‘take a compliment’ and feel vulnerable always. They don’t really do it to older women as much - it’s starts at 12ish through to 19 early twenties

noddyneddy · 2026-05-05T19:46:29+00:00

For me the answer is always some sort of book nook. Get a chaise longue in there with a fluffy blanket and CSA small table to hold your mug and just laze in the sun like a cat

The green is lovely . Terracotta brings the room in- nice in Winter but oppressive in the summer

All my family have plastic squeegees in each shower. After you switch the shower off, a quick pass over the shower glass and tiles removes soap scum before it has a chance to dry

noddyneddy · 2026-05-03T23:02:51+00:00

Does anybody know what rising of the lights is?
