You Are Being Unreasonable - 100 - Steamed badger and piss walls

Episode Date: May 13, 2021

"So she's sending her kids into the woods somewhere..." 100 episodes! We're celebrating with a trip to the Mumsnet Classics board and a journey beyond Mumsnet to look at the wide world of UK forum-posting. On this very special episode, we meet the Penetration Man and ask about reasons for dumping someone, we discuss builders' drinking fifty-one cups of tea and not going to the toilet, we meet an unhoused father gives his children badger meat for lunch, and discuss cancelling dinosaurs for their lack of conservative family values.

Hello, driving on drugs feels better when their prescription. All I know, the world looks beautiful, the world looks so damn beautiful. I feel fantastic, and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that day, when I felt the way that I do right now, right now. I feel fantastic, and I never felt as good as how I do right now, except for maybe when I think about I felt that day. Hello.

Hello, welcome to Your Being Unreasonable, a podcast about People Being Unreasonable, on mumsnet.com with me, Hells. And me, Simon. 100. One hundred. Who'd have thought? Who'd a thought? Who'd have thought?

Us, eh? Look at us. Look at us. Yeah, I'm surprised that we made it to 100 episodes. Yeah, not got bored yet. Well, I mean, let's see, shall we? To celebrate 100 episodes, I thought it would be special to use the Mumsnet Classics board. But it turns out the things that Mumsnets think are classic, are really not that classic.

So, I mean, I dug deep, I looked at all 12 pages of classics And I've scraped together four threads from it But in all the years I've been looking at mums now I've seen many far, far funnier posts And the ones that make it to classics I'd say every third post on classics It's just someone saying, look at me out into vitroes, I'm such a stereotype.

Hmm, hmm, very middle class. Yeah. Well, I have some surprises from another board Oh, that we can get to later as well. Oh, that's exciting, which board? Is it the sex board? You'll see. Is it all the mum's net is talking about sex?

Tee-hee. Well, that would be hilarious. No, it's not. Okay. Let's do a speed round. We'll do the speed round from the classics board as well, so you can get a real taste of classics. Am I being unreasonable?

Tell me one interesting fact about one of your grandparents. No, it's not your business. It's his identity theft. Am I being unreasonable, the tiger who came to tea? is a book Amma being unreasonable Plamobile election results about to be announced

Well their kids are doing An election in Playmobile No the Plamobile threads Come up a lot I think it's an adult doing it Because they also had the Plamabil royal wedding They had another Plamabil thing Yeah

And Amma Being Unreasonable Overheard on the bus Oh they've overheard something on the bus Yeah the classics board Is very much just weekend radio Yeah yeah Let's hope it was just something Inocuous about dogs

and not a slur or state secrets. Overheard a slur on the bus. I don't know that I'd start a thread about that. Discover a USB stick on the bus. It's full of people's tax records. Let's do a thread, shall we? Am I being unreasonable? Penetration Man.

So I went out with a man many years ago who was very kind, interesting, handsome, drove a lovely car and was popular. But I ended the relationship because he seemed to think whispering penetration in my ear was sexy. I also finished with a bloke because he had thick blonde hair on his arms. Now, I know that that means at the time of the relationship I was very shallow. So, what's the shallowest reason you've ever known to finish a relationship?

Hmm. Penetration. Penetration. Penetration A-S-M-R. I don't think that's shallow. I don't think it's shallow to not want to be with someone who's whispering the penetration into your ear as some sort of, come on. As he. Oh, what? Just like. Like audio description. Doing audio description as it happens, but in a sexy ASMR way. And now I'm going to shift from foreplay into penetration. So please prepare yourself.

Here it comes penetration. Because she said that he was interesting and popular. I didn't imagine him having. that voice, but with that voice, it is much better. Oh, yeah. Well, maybe she thinks he's interested in her handsome. I don't know where she told us that he had a lovely car. That seems like the shallowest part of the penetration man problem is that she was like,

oh, he's got a lovely car. A lovely car. You can't go out with someone just because of their car. What if they write it off? What if they sell the car? Because they've moved to an urban centre. Yeah. Or what if somebody steals the car?

Because they live somewhere terrible. What if he, when he gets in the car, he whispers, Penetration. What if his car gets taken to the police car pound? And he whispers, Pounded. Exactly. No, that's the thing I'm most concerned about. The penetration bit is weird, but it's the fact that this person ever thought that going out with someone because of their car was a good shout. I think you were better off with the person who had very thick blonde hair on his arms. Yeah, they sound really snuggling, a real snugly little cat. Cozy. I'm picturing a

Labrador, to be honest. I wanted to know someone with very... thick blonde hair on their arms. Yeah? Yeah. Are you this poster? But you could shave it. Like if you raise it as an issue. Yeah, but you can't ask someone to shave their arms because you find it icky. I would find that very troubling. Like, if you said to me, oh no, you need to shave your arms. Society asks women to shave their legs. Yeah, and that's not good. I'm not saying that we should do this to more people.

Yeah, that's not good. I remember. Yeah. That's right. Policing people's bodies is not good. I remember. yeah you told me this i did i've got it on a sign just on the the inside of the front door so as you're about to go out you remember in the live laugh love font yeah in the font papyrus oh the font papyrus is always a classic that would be a good shallow reason to break up with someone i mean i never have but if i were going out with someone and i got to their home and everything was in the font papyrus everything everything like they had re-labelled all the things in their kitchen cupboards so that they

with the font papyrus, rather than having the normal tea bag box, they've printed and laminate a thing that says tea in papyrus. Yeah, they had the poster for James Cameron's blockbuster avatar, which famously used the font papyrus for the title. But then they've also got other classic movie posters, but with the font papyrus in the place of the original. Oh, no. Yeah. Oh, I love the shining, but is that the font papyrus?

Oh, Star Wars. But wait, that's the font papyrus. I don't know what the font papyrus adds. to the taxi driver poster Exactly And to be honest Even without the font papyrus I got to someone's home

And those are the posters They had up again I might be a little bit about them You're better off here Where we'd just get a Twin Peaks Firewalk with me poster A movie about murder

An incest Yeah but you've tucked it away nicely in a corner Your whole Twin Peaks corner And I mean Two of the three things In your Twin Peaks Corner So what does that say?

Yes Yes Yeah, no, back to this. I suppose what is the shallowest reason you've ever had to finish a relationship? I mean, if you don't want to be in a relationship, finish it. I don't think that... Finish it. Well, I don't think judging people's reasons as shallow is any good

because you wouldn't want someone to be with you because they were judging themselves as shallow and they didn't like you, but they were like, no, I'll be the bigger person. Set them free. Yeah. I hope that the person with the thick blonde hair has found someone who loves these Labrador arms. This one's the thing with Seinfeld, right?

Seinfeld always had a very shallow reason to end a relationship. And it meant that none of those people ever had to go out with Seinfeld long term. So it's perfect. So it's fine. And eventually he found his 17-year-old high school student. Gross. Should we hear some examples from the thread? Yes.

Green underpants. Not boxers or shorts, but the type you buy for little boys. Green under, not boxers or shots. So, why fronts? Yeah. Green white fronts. Green, yeah. Hmm.

Yeah. They should be white or not worn at all. Really? I think white, I don't think white briefs is any better. It's green, like, oh, you're wearing briefs, but you're at Zainey. No, maybe that's not. No, I don't know. That's bad. He had a strong regional accent.

Oh, and I genuinely couldn't understand most of what he said. Okay, I think that's, yeah. It's not going to be. That's BBC News rejecting someone. But you don't want someone to be in a relationship with you if they can't understand what you're saying. Well, yeah, if you can't understand what they're saying. that's not ideal. I'm glad that she set this person free

to have a conversation with someone who doesn't think, oh, some sort of pauper is making a noise at me. A regional accent. Goodness me. I don't know what the accent they have. I'm sure they have accent neutral. I imagine that every single person... Received pronunciation.

Every single person on Mumsnet, unless they tell us that they're salt of the earth, I imagine has an R.P. accent. The ones who turn up and they're like, I'm from Yorkshire and I hate everything. I'm like, fair enough, you can have a Yorkshire accent because you mentioned it in the opening sentence, but everyone else's RP.

Well, some listeners have pointed out that you do a mum's net voice when you're reading out the OPE at the start of each topic. And that mum's net voice is never a Scouse accent, is it? It's very rarely hamming up my own regional accent. No, you don't lean into the London. No, no, it would be... Let me find an example. He turned up to a date in black loafers with a gold bar and tassels on them.

No, it is, there's a voice. walked away, yeah. Or behind the scenes. I would like to see these black loavers with a gold bar and tassels on them because something about those does sort of scream money church to me, and I don't know why. Yeah, he bought those with some siphoned off tithing. Strange if that's the only ostentatious thing about him. I'm just wearing a normal middle-aged cycle man outfit.

Yeah. He's actually wearing lycra, but then also he's got his money church shoes on. I think I used to have a pair of shoes like this, but I think it's very different if you're a 16-year-old girl in South London to if you're a grown man. Very different. Very different. Very different. No one ever imagines a 16-year-old girl is starting a money church.

And that's how I got away with it for so long. Should we do another thread? Yeah, let's dive into what I've brought to the table. Go on. I've got some threads from the Reddit board Casual UK. Ooh. So Casual UK is a Reddit site for non-political UK stuff. Brilliant.

So it's generally like pub style. Bantor or a photo of a Greg's pasting or a photo of a box of Cadbury's chocolates that an American has got because they don't have sugar over there. But occasionally there's calls for advice or questions related to British culture. So we can speed round a few of these

and then I've got one big one to discuss. Oh, he's got a big one. Oh, he's got a big... Is that the sort of banter they have? Penetration. Is it a British thing to have doors in that? house closed all the time? No? I don't think so. Is Snatch a bad word to call your fanny? I wouldn't. I wouldn't say fanny either, though. My mate says that you'd eat a bowl of soup in the

bath. Legend. How many key rings are on your keys and what's the ratio of rings to keys? I've already done my sats. Leave me alone. No, but I thought we could discuss this one. three builders two days 51 cups of tea zero toilet breaks where are they putting it to have something to put in the text box this is a lot of tea right even for builders 10 each on Wednesday seven each yesterday they knocked off a bit early due to rain they've been here 40 minutes today and I've just put the kettle on for the second time can you die of tea I'm glad they break it down because I yeah three builders two days 51 cups of tea. I was like, great, that's 17 cups a day, so. And then they've explained how they've done it. Yeah. Perfect. 10 each on Wednesday, seven each yesterday, because they knocked off a bit early due to rain. Yeah. And they've been here 40 minutes and put on the kettle for the second time. I mean, it's manual work. You need to stay hydrated. Good for you. 51 cups of tea. That's a whole box of tea. That's several boxes of tea. It is because you buy fancy fruit

teas, but if you just buy like the big... Industrial strength PG tips. Yeah, or even, I think at one point we had a box of like 240 Yorkshire tea bags. Nonsense. Yeah. I mean, also, if they're turning up and they're demanding infusions, they want 51 infusions, you've got any infusions, then that is different because those are much smaller boxes. That's a bit cheeky, thinking. So the amount of the tea is a real concern, but the zero toilet breaks.

Well, that's what I'm saying about how they need to stay hydrated, that, or they're secretly weeing in the work they're doing, weeing in the cement mixer. Well, it's a bit more bawdy on Reddit Casual UK. comment, they're pissing into the cement mixer and using that to lay your bricks. You have a piss wall there. You got a piss wall there, mate. See that, that's a piss wall. Yep, yep.

I can tell mouse builders here with cowboys. It's a piss wall. You got mugged off, mate. It is interesting that both me and that poster went for into the cement mixer. It does, it's odd that that's the obvious choice. of where you would go for a piss, cement mixer. Here are your choices. You go in the cement mixer or you go through the low.

Well, cement mixer every time. Yeah? I don't want to go to someone else with Lou. No. Look, love, I don't want to track dirt all over your floor. These are nice floors. Don't want to track dirt all over your floors. I'll just go in the bushes.

Don't worry about it, love. You got the kettle on? Our old flat had a piss wall, didn't it? It had that little driveway down the side of the flat where, as I was getting my keys out one time, someone pulled around on a push bike. And they could see I was letting myself in that I lived there and said, ah, this is the place.

And then just started pissing against the wall. I was like, what? Why would you say that to someone who clearly lives in this building? Why didn't you at least pretend that you just stopped to look at your map or something until I got inside? Ah, this is the place. This is the one.

This is the one. Some more from the comments. Yeah. My mate was having a crap in the bucket in the back of his van and the customer opened the back door. Awkward. Oh. That is awkward.

I mean, there is a really serious issue about couriers not having toilet access. Yeah, that is a serious labour issue. Yeah, that's why Amazon workers piss in bottles. Yeah, or shit in buckets. Why did the customer open the door of someone else's van? I mean, it's not great this person was taking a poo in a bucket. But, like I've said, there are serious reasons around why that might have had to happen. I want to know why this person just helped themselves to someone's van.

The OP said, this is my favourite reply. I told the builders, and they really laughed while they were having a break for a quick cup of tea. But did they explain? Like, isn't it a bit awkward for you to go to the builders? Like, oh, I posted on Reddit about the fact that none of you ever take a piss. Isn't that weird? I don't know. Maybe it's not weird.

I think it's weird. Someone else says, their apprentice probably has to drink it or something. Way banter. I never written out. Way banter. That wasn't me. Oh, it's good, isn't it? It's good. It's been a long time since we've been able to go out to pubs.

And as we readjust to them, it's nice to be able to remember what happens at them. Like, yeah, we're at the pub the other week and someone smashed a glass. There was a really delayed reaction before people remembered that you go, whee! No one remembered. Yeah. American here, because I'm interested in the British culture that textbooks don't tell me about. All right, if you're trying to get a travel show. I always assumed it was just a stereotype that Brits drank a lot of tea.

But now, how the heck, do you? guys handle all that caffeine? Oh, no one gets high off the caffeine in tea. Don't be ridiculous. The O.P. has said, my grandma once told me that tea didn't have caffeine in it. It's just brown. Yeah. I mean, I like to have a cup of tea before bed and I don't sleep anyway, so whatever. But it's never stopped me sleeping anymore than just my brain has stopped me sleeping. So, yeah, grow up. Great. Should we return to mum's that? Let's go. Am I being unreasonable, my kid's dad fed them badger. I'm not joking. I'm separated and he sees them for the day once every few weeks.

Last week, he took them for the day in London. And when I picked them up, they told me, very casually, that Daddy had given them badger with rice for lunch. He sent me a picture a few days earlier of a dead badger, so it's totally plausible. And given that he's been homeless for the last couple of years and often lives off the land, I'm certain he wouldn't think

twice about eating a badger. He told the kids that he steamed them eat for four hours. But now, I'm really worried about the whole TB thing. They seem fine, but I'm not sure if I should get them checked out. Any words of wisdom? Hmm, tricky. What a tricky situation. It is a tricky situation, isn't it?

So your ex-husband is unhoused. Yes. And you sent the kids to be with him. Yep. And he found them badger. Yeah. Allegedly. Yeah.

Yeah, that's what the OP is telling us happened. That's the OP's story here. I wonder what badger tastes like. Yeah, I imagine probably like venison or something. Yeah, I imagine quite dark. Yeah. A dark meat. And what was it?

for four hours. Steamed. Steamed for four hours. That doesn't seem like a good way to cook. I don't know. I don't know if I want steamed. I was going to say, I think there's a better way to cook badger. Yeah.

How would you cook it? Roasted. One of the traditional cooking methods. The thing is, this sounds like quite a joyless meal. Not because it's badger, but because it's steamed meat and rice. It just seems like they're kids. I don't have to do your weird... Yeah, they need a sauce with that.

Yeah, exactly. And the sauce should figure into the name of the meal. like terriaki badger with rice yeah barbecue badger with rice yeah badger with rice yeah badger with soy sauce that still seems like it might be a little bit mere for yeah i'm thinking of roast duck and rice yeah which which has a kind of soy sauce in it but it's not an overwhelming flavor yeah i just think that if he's found a dead badger somewhere and steamed it i want an overwhelming flavor and and where are they given that the husband is unhoused so let's have a look through the thread a lot of people are saying, like, yeah, where are they?

Someone said there's nothing wrong with Badger. It needs to be slow cooked. Yes, I can imagine that. Their dad has set up a camp with cooking facilities in the woods somewhere. So she's sending her kids into the woods somewhere to be with their father. Now, here's custody, you know, one day a week or whatever. Yeah? That's fine.

But to send your kids into the woods somewhere in the hopes of, that they will find their father. It seems a bit Hansel and Gretel. It also says, let's just refer back to the first post, that he had them for the day in London. So, Oxley's Woods. So these are like London Woods. Yeah.

Sidnum Hill Woods. Yeah, that little wooded bit between sort of stratham and tooting. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm not sure about any of these places. I don't feel like they're places where you could successfully set up a camp and live off the land.

No, I think you have to go a bit further out into English counties outside the M25. Yeah, and somebody said, provided the badger was sourced from within the M25, i eat urban badger, they'll be fine. I wouldn't trust rural badger, though. I wouldn't trust rural badger. Yeah, but you think urban badger's fine. Why would urban badger not have TB?

The meal here is clearly roast badger with mashed potatoes. Because what do we know about badger? Everybody knows. Badger loves mashed potatoes. Badger loves mashed potatoes. It's what he would have wanted. It is what he would have wanted when he died. and Bodger ate him

Didn't Bodger die? Did Bodger die of TV? I think it's more likely that Bodger would have died than Badger because Badger was like a puppet,

a Muppet essentially an off-brand Muppet. Hey, no, Badger was so much more than that. He was an agent of chaos, a mashed potato fiend. Truly one of us, one of the good ones.

Oh no, the APs come back. They don't go into the woods. He had them at the Natural History Museum. Just realized that's pretty, ironic. So he ate the badger at the natural history museum? That's even worse. So he's turned up to the Natural History Museum with, is it one big box of badger and rice that they share out, or have they all got individual little tupperwares of badger and rice? Right, so it was pre-compared. Is it just loose in a bag? Is it like a sandwich bag full of loose badger and rice? I think it's better if

it was pre-prepared rather than butchered with the children there. Kids need to learn to butcher a badger. Kids do need to learn to butcher a badger. That's what I always say, butcher a badger. When all the kids learn to butcher a badger? Kids these days don't know. how to butcher a badger. Don't even know they're born. Don't even know they're born. So, yeah, they went to the Natural History Museum and this unhoused man who somehow in a woodland camp

had the facilities to steam badger for four hours, which seems like it would use a lot of power to be steaming something for four hours. It's a long time to have a wee campfire going. Yeah. That's where you want to fry things. Yeah. Don't work through all your gas at once.

Exactly. Don't literally burn through all your gas at once. Just to steam some badger. Mm-hmm. Yeah, so, yeah, I mean, I'm really very confused. I watched a video of a YouTuber called Geo Wizard that I like. He does geogess of stuff, and also he went out into the woods to try and survive on his own. And he didn't slaughter a badger.

He didn't even see a badger. And he gave up after a day. Because he couldn't catch any fish. And it was illegal for him to be fishing where he was fishing. Oh, no. someone's pointed out that badgers are a protected species so it'd be illegal for this man to have killed the badger which means it must have died of natural causes or have been roadkill

which is just rank natural causes what did this badger die of don't care gonna eat it don't care found it yeah it probably died off something that your children now have and now people are just asking more about the woods the opes come back the woods are somewhere in Hertfordshire no idea where then how do you drop them off there people keep up they don't go to the woods so you had them at the natural history museum You meet at the Natural History Museum Then he takes them into the woods somewhere

Is that better? Is that good? No, I think they meet at the Natural History Museum And then they go around the Natural History Museum And at the end of the day, the OPE picks the kids up And the dad goes to the woods somewhere. Somewhere, yeah. Yeah, I don't understand. The OPE seems quite laid back about it.

They seem very chill about it. And I'm not chill about it. I just find it all very odd. I don't know. It's like, yeah, where should you get enough water to steam anything for four hours in the woods and more to the point, why am I even playing along with this nonsense?

Dirty water. Yeah, this is just ridiculous. Would you eat badger and rice? I'd give it a go if I could be assured that the badger hadn't been killed illegally. Yeah, so you only want to do it if you know that the badger died of natural causes. No, if it was legally killed by the owner of the badger.

Can anyone truly own a badger? Can a badger be owned? Wouldn't the queen own all the badgers? Let's do another thread. Disclaimer, this thread is long, longer than I usually careful, but it's worth it. Am I being unreasonable? I'm getting sick and tired of dinosaurs being forced on our children. I'm really concerned about dinosaurs, and I think something needs to be done. The science behind them is pretty flimsy, and I for one do not want my children being taught lies.

Did you know that nobody had ever heard of dinosaurs before the 1800s, when they were invented by curio-hungry Victorians? Charles Darwin's later theory of evolution entirely disproved dinosaurs. get the dinosaur life as twisted and adapted to make it fit. Any proper look at the facts will reveal that dinosaurs simply never existed. Aside from the educational aspect, dinosaurs are a very bad example for children. At my children's school, several children were left in tears after one of their classmates, who had evidently been exposed to dinosaurs, became bestially minded and ran around the classroom, roaring, pretending to be a dinosaur.

Then he bit three children on the face. One poor girl has been left with a severely dented nose And the whole class was left traumatised by this horrible display Nothing about dinosaurs is suitable for children From their total lack of family values Through to their non-existence From any specific scientific point of view Recently my sister foolishly gave my two youngest children

Some dinosaur toys for Christmas After telling her to get out of my house I burnt the dinosaurs My children were delighted because they know that dinosaurs are evil I'm fortunate that my family had been very supportive and disowned my children's former aunt. Please, do what you can to get dinosaurs taken off the curriculum. Our school has been recently presented with a 240 signature petition

and following that, our recent protests at the headmaster has said that he'll take it to the governors. We're lucky that he's so sympathetic to our cause, but I fear that others may not be. If you'd like to lend your support to our campaign, we have a Facebook group where we can spread facts and research about the dinosaur myth. Hope to see you there.

And it's Facebook.com slash groups slash non-existing dinosaur. Yes. Wow. There's a lot going on here. Yeah. I think dinosaurs should have been cancelled after that documentary about that theme park where they were bred and then allowed to run wild. They ate a lawyer. They severely injured.

Jeff Goldblum. An icon. And they chased beloved actress. it's just not acceptable is it it's not the evidence of them is pretty flimsy yeah so I mean maybe that wasn't a documentary then if they don't exist then maybe that was something else

there's lots of problems with dinosaurs one their total lack of family values two non-existence I might put my existence at number one and call it a day yeah but the total lack of family values is a problem as they don't exist how could we expect them to

have family values. Yeah. Non-existent things cannot have values. No. I'm very smart. Even though Tyrannosaurus rexes, for example, had a real strong nesting and mothering culture, where the mother's looked after the young for quite a long time after the young were born.

Hmm. But is that holding back the feminist cause? It's not great, is it? It's not great. While the dad's coming out scavenging dead animals. Yeah, denting little girl's noses. Well, there's a misconception Because a lot of people don't think dinosaurs

Were around at the same time as little girls But we know that they But we know that we're never around at all Yeah, flimsy Charles Darwin's later theory of evolution Entirely disproves that Yeah, but then those curio-hungry Victorians had already made up this myth

So things had to be twisted Twisted And the curios that they found Is the allegation that they were made Yeah, I think that's the allegation, that somebody invented dinosaurs so that they could create bits of fossil. So that they could sell curios, to Curio-Hungry Victorians. Yeah. Curio-Hungry-Hungry Victorian would be a good mum's net username.

Kids love dinosaurs. No. This is true. They don't. Lots of children cried. Dinosaurs. Several children were left in tears. Kids don't love dinosaurs.

Her children were delighted when she put the dinosaurs on the pyre. Yeah, burn the dinosaurs. Turn the dinosaurs. Because she knows that they're evil. Get out, Aunt Sarah. Get out. Former, former aunt. Yeah.

And I'm glad she's found 214 people to sign a petition. All at the same school. Against dinosaurs. It's really weird because I can only see this as a primary school. It was a secondary school and there's kids running around crying because of a dinosaur and someone else biting them. Then that's a whole different scenario. Primary schools don't tend to be that big. 214 signatures must be a pretty solid proportion of the parents.

Maybe they thought they were signing a petition to get teachers to teach children that dinosaurs have feathers, because I'd sign that. Yeah, but what, so you think that there was a little slip of paper over what the petition was, and then you peel it back? If it's a dinosaur petition, I'm signing it. Because it's probably going to be bring dinosaurs back or teach about feathers. Not abolished dinosaurs. Cancel dinosaurs. And I don't want dinosaurs to be cancelled. No.

Like this, O-P. No, this is, this is wokeery gone too far. The woke-left social justice warriors. It's so strange that this person doesn't mention skeletons at all. Doesn't mention fossils. Yeah, but I... It's an odd omission. Yeah.

Given that they are evidence for dinosaurs existing. Yeah. It is odd, but, you know, the whole post is hot. So, what would you say? In my book, it's okay to teach dinosaurs in school, but it needs to be balanced. No, it doesn't. Against what? Balance with equal emphasis on other creatures.

I would love my children to learn about unicorns, for example, or centaurs, or even saber-toothed tigers. But no, it's always the fecking dinosaurs. But unicorns and centaurs did not exist. I know we live in a country that embraces dinosaurism and holds it close to our hearts, but if we don't open our hearts to other creatures, mythical or otherwise, then frankly, our future looks bleak. Why? dinosaurism isn't a thing it's not an ideology it is talking about the existence in the past of dinosaurs

oh so the AP has come back and said there have been many cases of paleontologists burying fake bones before going back to conveniently dig them up ever wonder how they know where to look and why the dig sites are always in the middle of nowhere they don't know where to look that's why a lot of dig sites don't return any results also the dig sites would be in the middle of

of nowhere because you can't just start digging under someone's floorboards. If a paleontologist rocks up here and started digging up the patio, I don't think people would be very pleased. Now, overturning the communal bin area, thinking there might be some bones under it. That's where our bins go. Rack off.

Rack off. Why, Richard I's the third, he's under our little car park outside. He's probably not, because he was found under the other car park. Yeah, he can't be under every car park. Why if Henry the 8th is under our car park? I couldn't care less. I think we've all heard quite enough about him. The evidence for him is flimsy. at best. It's true. And he had no family

values. No. A little boy had fallen foul of being exposed to Henry the 8th and he ran around the classroom beheading girls. Biting into hefty pieces of lamp. Exactly. Yeah, it's very odd. So I don't think that, well, initially I thought the O.P. was just making it up. But now I think the OPE genuinely believes

all of this. So let's yeah, let's hear one more thing. Just for one moment, step outside what you think, know and consider what we're actually telling our children with these tall tales. Storming about the place, making loads of noise and mess is great and cool. Who hasn't had a teenager that's taken this to heart? Being aggressive, shouting and biting people is to be applauded. Being cold-hearted will win you the world for millions of years.

What are you talking about? No one's on the side of the dinosaurs. Have you watched Jurassic Park? Because the dinosaurs are not the protagonists. What do they mean? being cold-hearted will win you the world for millions of years. There wasn't a great battle between the people and the dinosaurs, and then the people lost, and for millions of years, the dinosaurs reigned,

while the people coward in fear. That's not what happened. Teaching about something is not an endorsement of it. This is just beyond me, absolutely beyond me. The OP's username is CAD Ministry, which someone has said is Christians against dinosaurs. And someone else has said, that'd be a cracking fight. The Christians are going to win, though, because they exist, whereas the dinosaurs simply... Never existed.

Never existed. And never had any family values. Exactly. Let's do one more speed round, and then we can call it a day. I've got some speed things from the Reddit Casual UK board. Let's do that. A friend of mine in Indiana has requested I send her British baked beans. So obviously I'm going to put a take care package of many things.

Suggestions? Put the beans loose in the package. Sure. I think they mean for other... other British things really. No, I've made my suggestion. It's the speed round. Loose beans.

Loose beans. Anything better than salt and vinegar discos? Yes. What's this weird froth that appears on occasion when making a tea? I wouldn't like to say. Just turned on the Premier League darts

for the first time in years. I sort of understand why they got rid of the walk-on girls, but why are they still cheerleaders dancing in an empty arena? That's the saddest hit of image. Aw. I'm glad the cheerleaders.
