I’m in the midlands and never heard that phrase but I have heard taking ice to the eskimos, which might be offensive now.

It’s definitely a fetish.

There was a large campaign at the time to suggest anti-zionist was the same as anti-semetic.

There are 100% shelters that let you take pets, there’s also organisations that foster pets for people escaping abuse.

The statement about haunting you to the end of the earth is a giant red flag. You need to get away. He’s dangerous.

I’m so sorry. Can you not sell some of the wine? Would he notice if it was a smaller collection? Just a reminder that financial abuse is abuse, control is abuse, there are shelters for people who are being abused which will get you out of that environment.

Head transplant dude?

I always just go, worst case scenario they were super busy the night before and don’t have any rooms ready so you leave your bags with them and go explore lighter, but most of the time they have a room and let you in.

You can also pre-book early check in but I tend to only do that if I really need it because it costs and usually you can sneak in by turning up.

Thylacine? aka Tasmanian Tiger.

I saw them in New York! Brilliant!

I went on an alligator boat in Florida and they were cool sure but the Anhingas hunting and catching fish were cooler, I didn’t even know you had those!

I’ve tried to find out if they ever did marry but I can’t find her online. I like to think she did though and it went well because she did really like the picture.

I think you’re confused. That is arranged marriage.

You’re still mixing up arranged marriage with forced marriage.

It’s not dating exactly, but there are dates involved. The parents pick someone that you’re intended to marry, they bring them round and go “here, we think you should marry this person”. You get chatting with them, go out for some dates, in the modern age you’re probably texting each other etc, but it’s not like western dating where you’re just seeing how it goes, you’re deciding if you want to marry.

After a short while you would say ‘yup, this seems good’.

You don’t commit to a stranger really. Normally you’ve met them and spoke multiple times and the families have spoken throughout both kids lives. I had a friend when I was young who knew her intended spouse from 7 years old and there was no plan to marry until she was finished with uni. She used to carry a picture of him in her wallet like we all had boyband members.

Even once you get to the marriage bit there’s chances to say no then.

Horse chestnuts, not chestnuts, chestnuts are soft and you eat them on bonfire night, horse chestnuts are hard and you can crack skulls with them.

Knowing what a conker is makes you super British.

You seem to be speaking as if genocide is the goal of every war. It’s really not, and in fact it’s against international law which most countries stick to.

Genocide is quite rare through history because generally once you have complete dominion over a people you stop and start to rebuild. In the Iraq war (which was quite an extreme war with quite a lot of rule breaking) they allowed the people to eat, they allowed aid trucks free access, there were even British hospitals that treated Iraqis. Most importantly they took measures to reduce civilian casualties, like avoiding conflict in populated areas.

This ‘war’ is not following any of those rules. The people are not allowed to leave, aid providers are being directly targeted, any supply of medical equipment is prevented from access.

Anyone at this point sitting on the fence going “Well both sides are in the wrong” is either misinformed or evil.

Just to clarify, nobody is entirely reliant on a guide dog. A guide dog is a tool that assists someone in certain situations, there’s loads of tools blind people can use to navigate, they may have a preference but the prison systems don’t really care much.

In sentencing, disability can often be used to get a judge to look at a non-custodial sentence, or custodial in an alternative environment, it can even be a mitigating factor to get a lesser sentence.

But if they do get put in there, then it depends so much on the system. In some countries they will treat you very well, in others you’ll not survive long.
