Lamb based Indian meals are just the best. The biryani is delicious, and I’m also particular to a lamb organ josh. Now I want one - Brick Lane, here I come!

He’s a narcissist. This is what they do, or don’t do in this case.

I met some American military personnel in a bar in Singapore. It wasn’t on a military base. Their dates looked a lot older than 18.

It’s certainly up there with Russia and North Korea at the moment.

This. Your faith is presented as normal when growing up in religious family. As you get older, there is opportunity to question those beliefs and, for some people, you realise those beliefs are mental and insane.

Is that “all stops”, as in they will get rid of that guy who very definitely did a Nazi salute?

Anteeksi. My humble apologies. I thought Moomins were just Moomins. Today I learnt a thing.

If only we had billionaires to help out!

That’s Norwegian, I think.

I’m from NZ and I’m slightly jealous of my British passport me.

Brother. This is the truth.

I’m glad this is basically the top post.

There was definitely resistance from the young guy. It just didn’t make my story. The police in the country where I’m from have a much higher standard of engagement with people. Their actions we well justified.

At a concert and saw the police approach and start questioning a young drunk guy (out doors, before show started). They basically said he had to leave on account of being too intoxicated and he started getting mouthy. I’ve never seen the police react so quickly the moment he finished saying, “My dad is a top class expensive lawyers and he’ll have your asrses for this” - he was in the ground and handcuffed within seconds. In the next few seconds he was back on his feet and being escorted to the paddy wagon.

Serious question: wouldn’t Universal Basic Income rely on everyone paying their taxes instead of certain groups trying to hide or avoid paying it? I can’t see governments affording this without a serious look at their spending to pull back om somethings, or there being a sufficient amount in the coffers from taxation.

Moving to Finland was the best thing for my my butt. So clean.

Fight! Fight! Fight! (grabs popcorn and a few beers).

I think out of all I’ve been reading, your comment has brought me a lot joy and smiles. Thank you for something good on a Friday night after a tough week.

It’s been a long while since I was involved in a church, but my recollection of the Bible isn’t able to reference anything that implies there is a need for the hierarchy associated with the Catholic Church, or similar. It kind of says you can have a personal relationship with God, and I don’t recall anything about Mary being special in any way aside from giving birth to the so called Messiah.

Worrying that every unexpected pain in your body will be cancer.
