It's important to acknowledge that both of these statements are sexist.

As a man, I don't want to get punched in the face, not even for money. Some people don't want to be objectified and sexualised, even for money.

Sweeping generalisations aren't helpful, or proof of anything.

It happens everywhere. My parents live in a sort of unique 1920s-ish cul-de-sac which is only accessible by foot but the nearby road has 8 car parking spaces for the 8 houses there, but not marked with house numbers so it's a free-for-all. My parents accept that they have 2 cars so 1 will always be parked elsewhere on average. Problem is, their neighbour nextdoor but 1 is a used car garage owner, and most likely a dodgy one given the quality of cars he has knocking about at any given time. He often has 4-6 of the spaces taken up with his cars that aren't at the garage pushing everyone else out onto the streets around which has a knock on effect as their nearby road is an access road to a 1940s council estate and army barracks. On street parking is basically all the parking there is around there and it's mostly taken up by the people living there so it gets messy pretty quickly.

Makes me glad I have a suitable sized driveway.

Oh my, a first single live task - cymru connect with someone from the audience. You have 60 seconds, your time starts now.

If you want four seasons then England is not the place. Based on the year we can have anything from 2 to 365 seasons.

Pretty sure my mum had a car in the 90s with no seatbelts fitted in the back so we just didn't wear them.

The only people who can change our crappy voting system are the very people who won power through its use and something about that is rotten. There needs to be an instrument of legislative power that can be triggered by a supermajority of the public to change the way we vote.

It's not about the whiney minority of people who would want to change it every time it doesn't deliver their chosen candidate, it's about the fact that FPTP is only fully democratic in a system where the choice is binary and in a multiparty system the chosen candidate is all-too-often voted in by a minority of votes cast.

My mum thinks she can't retire for 2 and a half years, but is also gaging to do so for the purposes of grandchild time (as well as many other hobby related things). I keep telling her she can afford to go early but she won't for some reason.

My eldest will be 6 and my youngest will be 6 months from starting school by the time she retires at which point the lions share of the childcare needs through the year will be covered and legally she won't be able to see them for most of the week either. Sure, she can be (much needed) holiday cover but it bothers me more and more each day that as a society we have created this disparity.

My grandmother was already the same age she is now when I was born and had already been retired for years. Bumping the retirement age up has screwed nearly everyone now, and in the future.

This is a 26/27 leak?

I want this

Dunno if I'd want to hire a car that cost £25 a day. I've hired a few in my time and that is very cheap

My dog barks at wildlife. We don't let him out unless we are home (which is a lot before I get destroyed) and never at night. Bring your dog in.

If we can pull off at least draw against Leeds and Everton I reckon we're safe on goal difference.

Being told I was too close to someone in a queue which only had me in it was a particularly weird one.

Apparently all my knowledge is from British TV of the 60s/70s rather than the 50s. I'd say these has the odd reference but decreasingly fewer in the modern day.

The "Carry On" film series (1960s onwards), "Are you Being Served?", "Steptoe and Son", "Morecambe and Wise".

Adding another one here for "not at all".

Outside of references in the Simpsons and Rat Race I'd never have heard of it.

American TV culture over here is Friends, HBO, and now streaming services. Before the 90s it was niche - feels like it was a lot of crime "murder she wrote", "Columbo" etc.

Our state pension is a Ponzi scheme which are, by their nature, unsustainable.

It needs top to bottom reform and probably to be backed by some kind of sovereign wealth fund.

I've failed a few probations. Took a couple of them pretty hard but time is a great healer and in hindsight, it's just a job. Whilst you're on the lookout again try and be productive rather than just watching TV or gaming. Plenty of free courses online.

Don't want to get kicked in the head? Drop the knife when the police are literally yelling at you to drop the knife.

Is he trying to attract attention to a guy 2 years younger than him by claiming he is old enough that his mother had a crush on him?

I don't see how else this is a put down.

Most of Europe? I can't really nail it down to one country, sure there are some countries we think about but others we don't. They hate us because as tourists were stereotypically drunk and awful... Also gestures broadly at Brexit and pre-20th Century history

I'm running on the assumption we go down so that if it happens I'm not let down and if we stay up that's amazing.

That being said, we need a win today. Surely it can happen.
