For some people, but most are voting this way because of entrenched xenophobia. Many parts of England (outside of the major cities) arehellish, racist places.

No, it is called bread pudding here, or sticky toffee pudding. :) Spotted dick is a specific kind of pudding, with suet and fruit - it’s not very nice.

I’m with you. It is an internal struggle for me too!

Ukrainians and loads of other slavs call their grandmas “Baba,” which some people do pronounce more like bubba. :) With a Texas accent, it would sound that way for sure.

My hometown has never looked so slimy.

Juliette Lewis is actually at one of the highest levels in Scientology- I believe she has surpassed Tom Vruise and is “clear.”

That looks like some primo fragile X to me. While I empathize with his mum- dude needs to be locked up forever.

Everybody, calm down and listen. A white man wants to tell us about feminism - hush now.

Reddit is what I think of when I want authoritative opinions on feminism. One could argue that any woman who supports reddit is not feminist in the least.

Kind of true - the Bedlam (or Bethlem) Asylym was at the site of the present day Liverpool Street Station until 1676. It then moved to the site of the IWM, but the institution moved and still exists in Beckenham.

This is a totally normal way to eat steak. Many people I know love a blue steak, and so do I. I find it weird this one was included.




This has been very frustrating to read, and as there are now hundreds of comments and I am forever stuck in the greys, who knows if anyone will see this. But. Listen - I know this sounds like bullshit, but as a heavily tattooed woman, I am on the side of the tattooist. Most of the tattooists I know - men and women -

Do you seriously want to equate Dan Savage with Glen Beck?

As a regular listener to Dan, I can assure you that he has evolved dramatically over the past ten years on trans issues. He is about the furthest thing from transphobic going, and does more for the LGBTQ community than almost anyone.

No. Just, no.

Whoa - 2000 per person? For a week? Way off. Using travel savvy flight tips, you can find cheap flights from N. America to Paris for no more than 800 dollars. Also, instead of hotel, search Air BnB or private rooms in hostels - no more than 300 dollars per person (based on 2 sharing a room). For two ppl, Vancouver BC

When in my home city, I don’t eat out often, am scrupulous about not wasting food and don’t buy many clothes - by doing this, I am able to afford to travel often. When I do travel, I travel frugally (with certain luxuries, like wonderful wine and the occasional crazy meal).

Whoa whoa whoa. The quoted bit contains thinly veiled contempt for fry bread - a staple of most First Nations cultural events in Canada as well as the US. While I understand that junk food is terrible for everyone, fry bread is an important part of the food culture of most of North America's First Nations people.

I was three years old, and my mum was having a dinner party for some new friends. I had been put to bed an hour earlier, so my mum and guests were surprised to see me march proudly into the living room. I shouted, "look mum! Slippers!" - and pointed to the panty liners I had adhered to the bottom of each foot.

I wear the same orange-y red colour every damn time, and if I am kinda careful, I can stretch my gel polish out for 3 weeks. I LOVE IT. I will never go back, especially considering it is usually only about 10 bucks more than a manicure that will chip in 3 days.
