Ask questions to guide them to the right answer.

@zeldagoblin 11 месяцев назад

@@Hana-su7zg Lol what a great response, I thought you were taking the piss at first, too much internet correspondence! For context, dad was a bricklayer from the 70s, and back then they did everything, plumbing, electrics and so on. I looked at listened. I am 5ft 2inches, and small build with chronic physical health issues. So, if I can do it, most people can. But there was a film called The Edge in which Anthony Hopkins says, "What one man can do, another man can do." I honestly believe that. I have researched online and used RU-vid tutorials a lot, but nowadays things like plumbing are done with flexi push fit joints and things like that. I can't see the problem with giving it a go, then calling someone if it proves beyond me. You will get people saying that tradesmen don't want to follow peoples DIY and fix their mistakes, but it's your home and your decision if you want to try it. I've done some small electric works and called my electrician to check and sign it off. I wouldn't touch any major electric works but light switches and blanking off I've done. It saves a lot of money, and feels great.

There was a young man, only about 19 years old and he worked at Ford in Daggerham, in the seat manufacturing area. Nearly all women in there. They hounded him constantly with sexual taunts and innuendos. I've been harassed by girls as a youngster, probably because I was bit shy. The whole thing is not a one way street.

@frusia123 11 месяцев назад

I've seen women like that. Women in their 40s losing their minds around a 19 year old boy. Gosh, can't you see he could be your son? I don't even have children myself and I have zero sexual interest in a young boy. On the other hand it's not exactly the same as men acting like that towards a young girl. The worst those women can do is to make the boy feel uneasy. Occasionally there might be one that will try to seduce him. But the young man won't normally be in any real danger of physical harm by middle aged women.

@kelly4187 11 месяцев назад

The point on crying is interesting. A therapist I went to once explained that whilst a lot of male crying is a genuine expression and outlet for frustration, grief and all that, and sometimes women have this too, a lot of female tears is performative as they seek assistance from the group. And importantly, this is mostly subconscious and isn’t being used as a weapon in most cases. Overall it shows that men value self reliance as often they are the only one that people turn to when things go bad, and so they NEED to grow up to be self reliant, women value the support of the group of other females, and so have evolved mechanisms to activate that support. Thus, as my therapist concluded, men and women are NOT the same despite what some crazy lunatic Marxists would have you believe, and we need different types and modes of support.

When people see me do something good they are like wow... How... And in truth it's because I was aiming to do something 5x as good, and this is where I landed.

You talked about physicality...men used to touch each other. An arm around the shoulder, or a couple boys lying next to each other in the grass, but now, none of that is permitted, because you're automatically labeled as gay. There's no room for simple, everyday touch when appropriate, because if you do, it comes with a whole host of baggage that gets thrown upon you. Rumors, suspicions, questions.

Does anyone remember the Mitchell and Webb skit where they parody the old Gillette ads?

I always make sure there’s a spare tire in my car and everything needed to change it. I’ve changed my tire in freezing rain in winter weather. It’s not that difficult with the right tools. I have to because I deliver medical supplies and the AAA (American Automobile Association) often takes too long to respond.

I went to the same high school as Geoff, 10 yrs earlier, if you read this Geoff, I was in Crusaders house. I bet that was expunged by the time you were there (political reasons, sigh), and I worked for BT like his old man, so I have a strange affinity with him. I would like to say though, I've never done therapy (man up bruv, lol) and I've only cried 3 times in my life, when my mum, dad and sister died.

I've never seen that Novac clip before. Got to me. Not a complaint. Hail to the washing machine king. You bring the best out in each other. Enjoyable thought provoking, intelligent, honest conversation . Carling on the way!!

Interesting discussion. Thank you. There seems to be blindness around Starmer on the part of the participants in this interview. He is not meant to be a person with ideas and policies. His job always was not to be Corbyn, to purge the party of Corbynites, ensure there is no opposition to the Tories in Parliament, tide the Tories over to the next election and to be the Blue Labour PM if the Tories don’t win the election. As such, Starmer is doing his job well. Corbyn was dished through a concerted campaign of lies around him being anti-Semitic and his proposal for negotiating a Brexit leaving package combined with a referendum on its acceptance.

4 (on the surface) "blokes' blokes": 1) Jeremy Clarkson, 2) Piers Morgan, 3) Nigel Farage, 4) Ben Wallace.

As a follow-up, it might be interesting to explain to an American what "bloke" means ... and then ask them: *What Exactly Is A British Bloke?* I'd love to hear an American respond.
