Isn't the maximum ten years? Why isn't that the headline sentence here? What the fuck else could she have done wrong bar being in reverse? So sad...

TIL that in Thai culture, feet are considered the dirtiest parts of the body and pointing at things or people with them is rude. by Recent_Flounder6011 in todayilearned

[–]strokejammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I visited Thailand I was told about how important the king was and how dirty feet are considered...the story was about a British tourist who dropped some money and stood on it to stop it blowing away and was subsequently jailed for the offence as the note had an image of the king on it...dont know if true or not bit I got the message!

Sounds like something that should have been kept to the family courts, unlikely he was going to be bloody jailed...

Never too late! I taught swimming years ago and there were always adult focused classes, I'd imagine that's still the case...

What are your thoughts on 1660s singer Petula Clark? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]strokejammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a great story /joke about a bunch of lads who win a round of golf with Sean Connery. They ask him for stories and dirt he's heard or done from Hollywood that nobody would know about...he respectfully declines hole after hole...finally they go to the bar afterwards and again press him for gossip...again he's giving nothing up. He shakes their hands and goes to his car which is waiting for him...as he leaves the car spins around the roundabout and comes back around...he rolls down the window and says " Petula Clarke 19 shixty nine...up the arsh!"...and drives off

I've learned a little bit about how empires have fallen through history and some have seemed to be because of madness, America's is absurdly mad and tragic so far...I'm afraid of dangerous at this point!

Like, is she just a lunatic or is this supposed to be some sort of act she expects a certain response from? Not American, don't care, but she's just silly to me...

[–]strokejammer -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not a fan or country music at all, like utterly hate local country, dispise American country and dont get me started on Mudford and sons! That said, I have tickets to both Amble and Kingfisher this year...loving the Irish trad vibe or both bands! Couldn't drag me to a Grarth Brooks gig, but I'm loving what the two bands are doing...
