I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Believe in yourself - if nothing else.

I never knew that. I thought it went from beagle to seagull and then on to eagle…

A world where it’s not just actors, musicians and sports people who can become stars.

Ignore what randos on the web say - the opinions of only two people matter. You and her. Good luck; however it works out.

Me.

Me and my life choices.

Melt your bank card in acetone. Carefully remove the chip and copper antenna. Place in small mould, fill with resin. Bobby Fingers (YouTuber) did this for a one-eyed friend so he could pay with his eyeball… Consider an rfid blocking case.

Yes - but it is meant to be deliberately backwards as a check and a balance. The idea is that if every law was made and passed by the currently elected politicians only then there’d be a flood of kneejerk reactionary populist laws only. The idea is to have some people with an eye to the bigger picture…

Yeah - back in the day A/S/L was asked so you had a rough idea of the type of person you were talking (typing) with…

37/M/India v 15/F/US would give you a very rough idea of the demographic the other person belonged to - and might shape your conversation differently.

Everyone in Syria is facing their own personal jihad - best of luck to them.

I have no idea why your comment would get removed. You’re entitled to your own opinion and to ask questions… and yes, it was fairly tame. I wouldn’t immediately classify you as an anti-vax lunatic on the strength of what you wrote.

I’m far more alarmed that people with zero medical or scientific background think they can just wade into debates about vaccinations that they have zero knowledge about… a Facebook post and a quick web search doesn’t equate to a phd and thirty years experience in a specialist field.

I normally get about four years or so out of an iPhone, with heavy and extensive daily use - works out as less than 50 (US) cents a day. I used to pay more for a newspaper.

I only made the switch when BlackBerry OS10 “failed” and they quit making handsets. I still miss my Z30 though…

Yeah, yeah. I know it looks that way but they actually have more vowels than the English… go figure.

Bellend it’s just the tip of the shaft - the bell shaped bit at the end… also used to signify a stupid person.

Cwtch - I do like your English spelling though.

Why would an entire generation ever become culturally irrelevant? Is this even a thing?

The Welsh rugby team were at one point sponsored by a Cardiff brewery called “Brains” and when they played over in Paris the sponsors name was rendered as “Brawn”.

Also the cigarette brand “Benson and Hedges” were branded “Buzzing Hornets” when their F1 team were racing in countries that had already banned tobacco sponsorship.
