British beer is better than American beer (but I’ll take your comment about G&Ts - we do like those).

Please show me where I said that women never commit assault :)

The common theme here is not necessarily the sex of the victim, but the sex of the perpetrator: they are OVERWHELMINGLY male.

Thanks for replying, DG! Our relationship is great now. My parents divorced when I was 6 because of his addiction, but we all get on so well that he comes over to my mum’s house for Sunday dinner and we all eat together. It took a lot of work for both of us to change our relationship, but both of us tried hard and now…

Hey DrugstoreGlasses,

That is *not* what MP’s expenses are for. The biggest chunk of expenses goes on constituency offices, caseworkers (e.g. for local asylum claims, for people who need help with rogue landlords), and parliamentary researchers, so that MPs are better informed when sitting on committees or asking questions in parliament.…

Can we just cancel men now? All of them. I am so sick of this shit.

The thing that really scares me is men. Men don’t seem to understand how stories like this can make women so afraid wherever we are, whether that’s going to the shops or just doing our job. We are never entirely safe :(

Minus ten points from Gryffindor for pointless use of the word ‘triggered’.

What reputation? A reputation for fine combine harvesters? For that weird flat cider that people only drink because it’s 100000%ABV and not because it tastes good? Or the accent that gets *even less* attractive the further you get from Bristol, if that’s possible?

When he was little, my brother shoved a banana down the toilet because he didn’t want to eat it. Kids, eh?

My city is famous, yay? Also, I’ve met poop man! He is very nice but also quite strange.

I’m doing a PhD and we have a big shared office and this describes exactly one of my fellow students. He would eat a bag of those thick cut chips and then start another one as soon as he’d finished. Luckily we managed to chase him away to the office over the road.

I can handle the show-erasing thing, that’s pretty clever. I can’t, though, forgive the lack of tying up of loose ends (I found the entire Audrey thing enraging) and the Dougie ‘plot’ lasting like 16 episodes. I’m so mad at this season.

Holy shit, the amount of angry white people commenting on this thread is INCREDIBLE. If your feminism is not intersectional it is bullshit, and there are A LOT of bullshit feminists right here. And let me end with a public service announcement: reverse racism is not a thing. It does not exist. Thanks for playing.

I agree! I thought the Baby Driver trailer looked like some sort of a joke - I kept waiting for the punchline and then realised it was serious. Skipped that one.

I too am from the UK; your comment implies that the word is used often here. It is not, and it definitely *does* carry gendered connotations, in the same way the word ‘fuck’ carries connotations of sexual intercourse, even if the word is used to refer to other things.

Wayne’s World? Seaworld?

It’s interesting isn’t it. I live here too and Trump seems to be seen as some sort of exception, as if he is SO bad that even the fairly neutral BBC are having a bit of a dig. I mean, I hated GW Bush, but probably wouldn’t have tried to prevent him getting a state visit here, but Trump just should not be hosted.

I live in the UK and that’s not really true, at least not of general practitioner appointments - if it’s somewhat serious you’ll get one quite quickly. If your friend has to wait four weeks to get an appointment then either a) it is not at all urgent or b) she hasn’t bothered to tell the receptionist that it’s an…
