That seems odd, is your exhaust fan outlet blocked? Could you buy a cheap humidity meter and check out the actual level? My exhaust fan wasn’t working for a few weeks during the summer and there are no windows in my bathroom, so while I waited for the repair people to show up I bought a cheap dehumidifer (roughly £20…

She’s over thirty-five, so according to him she’s past it.

That is just defiantly nasty.

I had a variation of this problem years ago. When I met this ex he was unemployed, and I was a student. Neither of us had much money, and that was OK. Then I graduated, and was unemployed myself for a few months. It was then that I started to notice the difference: I was applying for EVERY DAMN JOB, whereas he applied…

I have seen only seven of these, of those, enjoyed only four (Mad Max: Fury Road, Spirited Away, Pan’s Labyrinth and Children of Men). I thought Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine were cack, and Mulholland Drive was dull. I did try to watch The Tree of Life, but couldn’t make it past the first twenty minutes; I…

If I had the money to throw at something like this, I would really enjoy sourcing appropriate materials and craftspeople to restore the building to its original state. I think it’s beautiful; I love ornamental Victorian red brick, there’s a lot of it in cities in the north of England, I used to live in a pretty good…

You had it right without the correction, makes me feel like unsubscribing from people too. I can’t speak for People (the magazine); is it sold in the UK?

Pertinent link

Ultimately, you are one person, representing only yourself, trying to tell other people how they should wear their hair. You are free to express your opinion, but should you do so in public, the rest of us are free to point and laugh at you. I choose to exercise that option.

Where do we leave our offerings to this goddess?

Happy to do you a swap...we’ll have the woman (and her family) who makes her own money and is easily ignored, you can have the family who live the life of Riley off tax receipts from the general population, disrupt normal people’s lives whenever they go anywhere (roads get closed, areas suddenly become off limits,…

End of conversation for me.

OK - so I went away and thought about this. Here’s my opinion:

Definitely influenced by the punk scene’s love of reggae

So if white people’s ‘matted’ hair is not the same as locs, why do you care so much if some white people choose to have dirty hair? As long as you don’t have to sit next to them on the bus, what’s your problem? I had braids that I left to mat up years ago, they weren’t dirty, the washing process helped them to knit…

Indeed, this article is bullshit of the highest order. I associate dreadlocks with Hindu holy men, that’s probably where the hippie/crusty fashion came from. And its just what some hair does if left to its own devices. The author of this piece is just desperate to be offended so that she has something to write about.

Fuck off, Delingpole.

I was trying to say this but you put it much better; thank you.

I’m sure I’ve done this with multiple cultures down the years, but it’s always with admiration. Indian jewellery, Japanese dressmaking techniques, Balinese fabrics, MesoAmerican ceramics; I love them all, and if that makes me a bad person, then *shrugs* I’m a bad person.
