England being shit is a running joke in pretty much every sport they partake in, particularly the ones they invented. This is true even when it’s not.

England? Good one.

Yeah, I live in the UK and that is a Blitz evacuee costume with the little tag and everything. I dunno if it got labelled as an Anne Frank costume or if the internet just decided it was because Americans are unfamiliar with the Blitz...

We don’t have to accommodate them if they ask for a white doctor. We’re offering them a service and if it’s not to their liking, they can leave. That is an NHS way of thinking though, dunno how it works in America.

I remember there was an article (I think it was on here) about patients demanding white doctors before. I was really shocked at how many commenters seemed to think that we should be accommodating these demands, because the patient will “be more comfortable”. Maybe it’s because I work in the NHS, where we have more…

When I was a medical student, a bloke turned up in A&E and refused to see a doctor who wasn’t a white male. Since there was no-one on duty that night who fit those criteria, he had to accept us as we were or jog on.

If your name is Mohammed Yousef, or if you’re a woman in a hijab, it’s pretty obvious. If you’re a Sikh, the turban or very long hair is often a give away. Many Christians wear cross necklaces. I imagine that most of these complaints aren’t about Christian doctors though, they certainly aren’t here in the UK.

That’s not what we’re asking, that’s the difference between a nice conversation and a nice conversation that ends in exchange of phone numbers or whatever.

The “mysterious female species” myth needs to die a death. We’re all just people.

And also donated money to help the IRA blow us actual Irish people up, perchance?

Southside but I don’t think it was quite the full D4. It was a long time ago and I’m a Nordie so I don’t have a great ear for Dublin accents.

He is the only part of that film to haunt my nightmares.

Spoilers, kinda sorta ish.

Horatio was from Dublin :P

Um, I don’t think we’re the ones to be talking about having pronounceable names.

Haha, me too.

I think women are socialised to (over)analyse how our words and deeds impact others and men aren’t. I had a man at work yesterday tell me “You need to calm down” because I raised my voice. Because he was talking over me and not listening to what I was telling him. Completely unaware that my response was the result…

Weren’t the Jonas Brothers into purity culture? I dunno if they were raised that way or if it was just a money generating gimmick, but if he was raised fundamentalist then early marriage would be the norm for him. Less so for her, hence the “surprise”, maybe.

Ouch!

You found British trains affordable? What does a train journey cost in America, a kidney?
