I won't use self check-outs, I go to real people, so that there will continue to be jobes for real people.

Sure but you can get the point.

I have a relationship ongoing with a woman who will only communicate by texting.Is this a red flag?

We first chatted on this site a couple of weeks ago.I said she probably wanted someone closer to her own age.She said men her age were shits and she wanted to meet an older man "who knew how to treat a lady.". We used "message" and then switched to cells.Her cell phone provider won't process ...

@Wangobango3 It could be she is with someone. Sorry but experience has shown me that there a a lot of women who get off on the possibility/fantasy of romance/other You need to pin her down or forget bro.

We've had them here in the States for a while. They never work right. Then you end up waiting for the one clerk assigned to 6 self-check out registers.

273kelvin replies on May 10, 2018:

And then she judges you twice. Once for making her work and then for your items. (they never say but YOU know lol)

Very old port of Liverpool joke. A guy is walking along the dock road and asks a young lad. "Can you tell me where the urinal is" "I dunno, how many funnels does she have?"

@CraeftSmith You could use the same joke for a freight yard kid in Chicago. Using engine names and sizes.

@CraeftSmith It`s old ships and dockland. There were a lot more ships then and they all had names like "the britannic" or "the august" or any name you might think of. The lad is so uneducated but wise in his envioment that all he knows is ships and such. Not what the alternative name for a bathroom is

Okay this is the 1st time you mentioned she is not in your country. Some part of Africa maybe? Look we live in a technological age. If this is what you want it is not too hard to set up a video call. If not on her phone then via a internet cafe but it does not sound promising.

"Just because something is beyond our level of comprehension doesn't mean it doesn't exist"

SACatWalker comments on May 7, 2018:

I like logic, but so? So fucking what? For all intents and purposes, if you don't know about it, it doesn't exist to you. Again... I'm begging you, so? Point. Make a point.

273kelvin replies on May 7, 2018:

He did not say you don`t know about it. Just that you cannot comprehend it. For example a theisist might not be able to comprehend evolution. You may not know how your tv works. etc.

Lots of things. Quantum theory, higher maths, why Trump? womens minds, the list goes on.

I found this article from The Guardian to be very disturbing, but something we all should think ...

misstuffy comments on Apr 27, 2018:

I found the article disturbing, yes terrible horrific things happened back then and the author wants white America to pay now. It ignores several issues, one, back in Africa it was their fellow Africans rounding up their own race to sell into slavery and slavery is still practiced on the continent ...

273kelvin replies on May 7, 2018:

Re your 1st reply; It is true that slavery existed before and after America and that Africans sold the slaves to the whites. However this must be put into contest. Slavery is in the bible but it is there as a punishment for theft or debt. Europeans took what was a cottage industry and made a global trade out of it. What horrifies us most about the holocaust., is not just the genocide (there has been genocide before and since, some even larger). It was the industrial efficiency of it. The same goes for the America`s. Some estimates put the figures at 20 million Africans were taken. Now most of them would not have been to the USA but lots were. My city was at the hub of this trade and although the UK banned it in 1830 (a generation before the land of the free), the money generated by this was around to fuel the industrial revolution that I still enjoy the benefits of. The USA has a class system based largely upon race. A UK interviewer asked Mohamed Ali what it was like being a 2nd class citizen? Ali replied "Oh what I would have given to be 2nd class. At the top you have white protestants,then white catholics, then jews then chinese, by the time you get down to black men your about 16th." It is vary easy to say "well do better at school and raise yourself up" but if the odds are stacked against you then it will only be a small percentage that will rise. The war on drugs is also a form of Jim Crow and has been likened to a "slow holocaust" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/may/25/the-wire-creator-us-drug-laws

So, "Duke" is just a nickname.

273kelvin comments on May 6, 2018:

I worked in a dockland bar in the 70`s At the time all the dockers had nicknames. "The frightened fish", always saying "look out for the hook" a guy who was always late, so much so he had his own key the dock gates was "called early one morning." You get the idea. So I asked one guy what his ...

273kelvin replies on May 6, 2018:

In the bar there were 2 brothers John and Jimmy. John used to box heavyweight pro whilst Jimmy managed him. The both worked the docks and in the evenings John tended to the door of the nightclub whist Jimmy booked the acts. Their nicknames were "Rich man, Door man"

@Coldo Yes but you didn`t get over 50% and now the SNP is losing ground. Like I said your choice but look at all the problems brexit is causing in NI. Imagine that on your border? You gonna build a wall like Trump?

New guy on the block.

I like trad jazz

273kelvin replies on May 6, 2018:

That settles it. We're just going to have to date! There is a fantastic trad jazz band that you will adore. They play Matt & Freds in Man once a month but in the pool mostly. Except that they hate the term "trad jazz" https://youtu.be/dROBv0L-9I4

Meeting

273kelvin comments on May 4, 2018:

I have met in bars and online. The former is kind of hit and miss. The latter very tedious as men out number women so much. You have to do a lot of asking before you even get a response.

273kelvin replies on May 6, 2018:

@UUNJ It`s not just men that do that. You get that online too. One profile from a middle aged white woman required simply " Black fireman"

This is God's response to child rape.

TheMiddleWay comments on May 5, 2018:

If you've never prevented a rape and god has prevented even just one, then you are not more moral than your god. So, how many rapes have you prevented and how many has your god? I'll wait here while you ask him... might be a long wait though.... ;)

273kelvin replies on May 5, 2018:

@TheMiddleWay Coulda, woulda shoulda, no one can know gods infinite wisdom, bollocks. If he cannot or will not do anything. Then what bloody use is he/she/it? Take a look at Jerusalem, people talking to to him all day long. Does he answer says "killing people is not nice please stop?" does he shite. Personally the god you espouse is not someone I would like to live next door to, let alone worship.

273kelvin replies on May 5, 2018:

The question is not "have" but "would." You have no real way of knowing (for the most part) what you may have stopped or enabled. Unless you are in the police or medical profession It may have been that time you called a cab for a lady who had drunk too much or pointed out a suspicious character around some kids.You don`t know? The point is that we cannot be in gods image because nearly all of us would not allow evil things to continue

Lost me on that one @273Kelvin. I thought that the airport was at Speke? And little did he know that he was going from the fry pan to the fire.

273kelvin replies on May 5, 2018:

@silverotter11 Impossible to escape them in my city. The tourist tour bus goes past my window several times a day. The worst is they cast such a large shadow that new music can struggle to get some light. There have been some great bands that have come out of here since but never got the recognition that for example Manchester bands have. eg. Here`s the original version of an Amy Winehouse hit. https://youtu.be/ZRX3Wc-_sEI

How many people find it difficult to ask for help?

Ultra120 comments on May 5, 2018:

I do shit myself as much as humanly possible, it's just how I am. Sometimes tho I'll ask for help simply because I lack the expertise or level of skill needed to get it done right and exact..... that's OK too; no shame in that. It's just a matter of finding the right people to help you out.

273kelvin replies on May 5, 2018:

"I do shit myself as much as humanly possible," Has got to be the most unintentionally funny opening sentence ever. lol

A teaser for you; Abdul took 5 days to cross the desert.

You got it, well close as makes no never mind. Well done the only one to remember their high school geography class.

Desert survival. If he has any type of container with which to hold water, some plastic and any nearby plant life, he can make his own. Did he have any of these?
