Feeling the need, the inability to write basic English is triggering me more than usual tonight.

I have been giving this some thought, and I just think some people have no sense of responsibility or duty generally, so their driving shows that pretty clearly.

Please say why - I'm interested.

Has he tried the time-honoured 'I was only joking' line of defence yet?

Keep talking. Seek out AA or similar, people with comparative experiences. DM friends on here, you'll be amazed what asking for help elicits in others.

There is an awful lot of assumption, trial by media speculation and cod psychology going on here. Sometimes I really wish the Internet didn't exist.

Indeed, and I note your careful use of the word 'some' here. Unfortunately, we're all subject to this sort of archaic thinking, and inevitably some women buy into it, and value noisy confidence over anything else. Also, in my experience, I have found one or two women confused by masculine emotional intelligence, because they've long considered that their department - in much the same way that some men are still wedded to the idea that their job is go out, hunt and gather

I don't have cancer, my blood tests are all normal and my internal organs are in good working order (although I was born with only one kidney, it turns out). I guess I just have Long Covid and have to hope it recedes/continue to live with it.

I could go on a massive riff about it being a metaphor for society. sidelining people by giving them 'choice' that is a choice only certain people can sensibly choose to afford, and then those that choose to afford it (that really can't) get castigated for making the wrong choice.

There's 'laughing at' and then there's 'making a play on words/terrible punning'. For my part, I love Wales and generally like language. Best not to lump us all together I think.

I think the problem is it's mutual, and none of it is in 'normal' people's best interests.

I think you might be taking this too seriously.

Colour me shocked. I looked at the prices and decided to give it a miss.

I'll have my Abercwmboi with pouring cream, please...

Even if I grow a beard?

Some time ago...

People do mental gymnastics to justify what is going on to themselves because the reality is very difficult to live with.

Announce HPF.

Really? I'm available.
