Re: Boys right to wear skirts - woke?

Surely the root of the problem is school uniforms. They are an unnecessary expense for parents and in most cases uncomfortable and impractical wear for active children. As someone who lived in an underprivileged area and who wore a uniform throughout my secondary school education, I can understand ...

Re: Boys right to wear skirts - woke?

And the "woke ideology" (that DOESN'T exist) bit is the cherry on top for me, as it further demonstrates that these reactionary buffoons just throw the term "woke" around because they're too stupid to get a better script. Either that, or they project this nonsense onto their dim...

Re: The desert at night

One of our favourite parts of getting to holiday in the English Lake District each year was that we got to see the Milky Way on clear nights. ♫ I saw two shooting stars last night I wished on them but they were only satellites Is it wrong to wish on space hardware I wish, I wish, I wish you'd care ♫...

Thanks for the update, Ray. My guess is that NZFreestyler took the same route. I wish both of them well.

Re: What happened to ...

The question got asked before (back in 2011), but I think enough time has passed for the question to be raised again - whatever happened to Veletron / Nigel? I was reminded of this fellow skirter by the recent resurrection of the Stirling 2011 get-together thread. Not only did I like a number of the...

Re: Robert identifies as Leo

On the "identifies as" bit, I found it amusing when some wag on social media picked up on some of the anti-trans stuff that Ted Cruz and Nikki Haley were spouting by referring to them by their given names of Rafael and Nimarata

Re: very short shorts

I associate the move to longer (and often baggier) shorts to the US. When I was a kid (UK, late 70's and into the 80's) shorts were largely the preserve of the sports field and the beach. It would be unusual for me or my friends to wear shorts out of these settings. The shorts I had at this time wer...

Re: I don't want to be labeled

Why does it matter to this group? Here is AOC's take on the matter. (you should be able to click past the logon screen) Maybe its alarmist, but if true I wouldn't be thrilled at the prospect of a child or grandchild of mine (or any other relative or friend come to think of it) being subject to a ge...

Re: American Neighbour

Since living in the US, I've used the phrase Native American rather than Indian. Doing some research just now, it appears that people from that demographic group have differing opinions on what terminology they do and do not like. As an aside, I once saw an interview with a guy who objected to being...

Re: Ring Video Doorbell privacy

Although I can appreciate that there are some nefarious instances of camera placement (watching over someone sunbathing or placing a camera where it can look directly into a bedroom, for example), this sounds like a legitimate use case to me. I have 4 ring cameras, mainly for deterring porch pirates...

Re: article on dutch Vogue website about Stijn de Vries

Going back 4 years (as I can see from my Amazon order history), I purchased a couple of shirts - one in white and the other in black. The intention was to pair them with a cami top in a matching colour. It is a look that I really like on women and I wanted to see how / if it worked for me. Unfortuna...

Re: Moon and Liz visit Canada

I've visited Canada from the US as a holidaymaker on my UK passport, on an L1 visa, on a green card and on a US passport. I've had good experiences and I've had not so good experiences. I've had a young female border officer throw my passport at me whilst uttering "get out of my sight". I'...

Re: Hats

At least a couple of Brit left wing politicians were known to wear hats of this style.
