Static?

I wonder how many people make this distinction. Home ownership should mean without a mortgage. Otherwise you’re renting from a bank instead of a regular landlord

There are two replies to the parent comment.

One saying that neo pronouns barely exist, and they’re imagining a person who would be angry at it.

The other comment is basically asking for a fight with their Xe preferred pronoun friend.

I just thought the contrast and dichotomy of that was noteworthy.

Isn’t this a standup routine?

I grew up in Gosport and enjoy the looks I get when describing that we needed to get a ferry across the harbour if we wanted to go to a club like Walkabout. I hear the overnight ferry stopped running so you’re screwed trying to get home late now.

I nearly stepped on one the other day. They only really come out at night, and I was walking home across a dark park. You don’t see them very often, I think I’ve seen maybe 3-4 in my life.

Not normally my thing, but these places need to turn a profit during the less prime time drinking hours. I wish they had a specific bar for cocktails and another bar for beer though, to get the amateurs out the way.

Pubs aren’t restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it’s not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they’re persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.

In a similar vein, the opening credits to Animals of Farthing Wood will stick with me forever.

I love the ambiguity of what you’re supposed to throw in the river
