Why can't a man have a friendship with a women like he does with another man?
273kelvin comments on Jun 27, 2018:
I had occasion to count up my personal friends yesterday and of the 6 that knock on my door regularly, 4 were women. One is an ex and the rest are platonic. Not saying that I would not if they asked (ex excluded) but no means no and till they change their minds thats how it will stay. This is not an ulterior motive just that if I find a woman attractive, I will tell her so. Its up to her where she takes that. The most important thing in this is, I enjoy the company of women period. I like to talk and listen to them. They speak so differently than us guys. It is almost like another language. Mens conversation is so easy. Its upfront, out in plain sight, sport, politics etc. Women are much more subtle and personal. It adds another dimension to any subject, which I personally find fascinating. Bottom line is, if you want women friends, you have to like them for who they are.

Any body feeling more tolerant or less tolerant of religion after the last 6 months?
273kelvin comments on Jul 8, 2020:
That depends on which religion and which country. I have to say that here in the UK they have been great. There have been no complaints about closing churches or even for that matter mosques. Not only that but hey have rolled their leaves up and gotten stuck in with food banks and organising volunteers to shop for the most vulnerable. In consequence, they have earned nothing but my admiration and respect. Then we have the evangelicals over in the US. Defying lockdown, questioning the science, screaming blue murder about persecution and rights when all that has been asked of them (note asked not told) is to behave in a caring/responsible manner. Whilst all the while the death toll climbs like the numbers on a pinball machine. I got into it with one on FB last week. Her first response was "This is a virus made in China, not the church"., So I said "What difference does that make? (After posting a link that disproves the man-made thing) It'll still get you and don't you think you should be more like the good samaritan?" Her reply was that I should find Jesus or I'm going to hell. So I said "What is hell? Being in agony till the end of your existence? A bit like lying on your front with a tube stuck down your throat, praying for death to take you. And you would risk doing that to your fellow parishioners. How can a good Christian do that?" All she could say was "Its all fake news" So I lost it a bit and dared her to tell that to that to 3 of my friends on FB. One had just lost her mom, another half his hand and a 3rd had just got her mom back after 2 months in hospital. I called her a disgrace to her religion and country.

At some point you are going to have to be honest with him. Maybe by asking if he really thinks all atheists are stupid, inc. professors? A long time ago my brother was giving his kids extra pocket money not to smoke. He smoked himself and I knew they smoked behind his back. I pointed out that he was just giving them reasons to lie and if he really wanted them not to smoke. He would stop smoking as an example. This he found too hard to do but he did stop being a hypocrite and let them smoke in front of him. In the end none of them smoke now but they do have a great relationship with him. Sit down with your dad and ask him how much he values honesty, how much he loves you and how much he trusts you to make your own decisions?

It depends on your standards definition. If you are talking physical standards then that is not only allowable and commendable but inevitable as we age and have less pulling power. What you are talking about however is falling for the bad guys. That is a pattern that lots of us fall into, especially if they are hot. Without the "My lover done done me wrong" songs there would be hardly any music as we know it. I have been there and got the retro t-shirt. In the end, I had to kill her. Not in real life but in a story which I emailed to her. She phoned me last week ostensibly to inquire how I was. I forced myself to be cold and offhand. Any show of emotion either way would have left the door open. Its been a long dark road but I'm seeing the light now. https://youtu.be/82yNxiF-T4A "She`d love to kill me. Just to have it on her mind"

Now I am not saying it was the wrong thing to do, far from it but look how things are turning out. America has 2 huge problems atm. One is the pandemic and the other is Trump. The former will be Biden's problem which will be so much easier without the latter. So how do you stop/weaken Trump/Trumpism? Every official and Rep politico knows he will be gone by the 20thJan. They also know that any disloyalty before then will be punished. What better way for the country and your own self-interest than to give him/MAGAs enough rope to hang themselves.

Most wines are now either screw top or real cork. Wine connoisseurs have argued about this over many a glass. The old school maintains that a cork allows the wine to breathe slightly. The other side says that the convenience and saving of wasted wine due to corking outweigh the benefits but one conclusion is unanimous. That a plastic "cork" serves neither purpose

it could be that it is so hard for women to obtain an abortion? I heard that there was a survey that Regan instigated. (Sorry but I only heard so I cannot post any links). It seems there was one small town that had a significantly low crime rate and he sent a team there to find out why. Could it be a great police force, high church attendance, or fantastic schools? No, the real reason was a bunch of activists set up an abortion-on-demand service in the early 70s. The results were that there were fewer unwanted kids that went on to be anti-social in their adulthood. The results of this survey were buried as it did not fit in with the Christian values of the administration.
Religion was not created to control anyone or groups of people.
273kelvin comments on Jan 12, 2020:
Early religions were more about the calendar than control. If you start with sun and moon gods (yes I know that there were earlier tree, animals gods etc.) Then at 1st moon gods hold sway because knowing when the moon is up is important to hunter-gatherers. Later when the grasses mutated and we got agriculture, then the sun god was supreme. At this time we had enough spare food to have kings, priests, and specialized workers. Then religion began to lay down laws for behavior. After all, priests would tell you when to plant and harvest. It would seem natural to accept their instructions on morals. The dietary laws of Judaism make sense in a hot climate and who would want their woman sleeping with another guy? However, it is interesting to note that their calendar is lunar, not solar. To view the OT as total BS throws away a cronical of a people's transition from a hunter-gatherer to an agricultural existence. Flawed as it may be. Later on, those lunar gods come back into their own when trade becomes an important resource. Knowledge of tides was crucial to cultures like the Vikings. When Christianity held sway in the middle ages. It was the church that gave us holidays and provided the only counter-balance to the powers of the state. Social control was certainly part of the growth of religion but not the whole story.

My earliest musical memories is standing on our front garden wall singing " I wanna hold your hand " by the Beatles. I must have been about 6 at the time and Liverpool had been placed at the center of the map by the fab 4. My 1st record was " Popeye the sailor man " I never used to admit to this (even though I was only 8 at the time), till I found out that it was written by the same guy who wrote " take the A train " for Duke Ellington. A few years later and heard " Pinball wizard " by the Who. From then on I was hooked. Most of my life has revolved around music in some form or other. I payed for my own guitar lessons at 14, busked, giged and now write my own songs.

Thank you for sharing your story. I can only imagine how much courage that must have taken. Reading between the lines, it is unfortunately not uncommon in its causes. (Sometimes I despair of my sex) What is exceptional is that you seem to have managed eventually to break though that trauma and learn to trust someone else. Dating at our age is not easy. Everyone comes with considerable amounts of baggage and scar tissue. Though perhaps not as much as yourself they are very real and pertinent to the individual. A lot of guys will be reluctant to commit or open their hearts. Do not take this personal, it is simply that they may have already given at the office so to speak. After what could be decades of commitment we find ourselves washed up on the shore and have no conscious wish to sign up for any more long voyages. I say conscious because unconsciously so many of us may still crave a deep involvement again. There will be pitfalls, so dont accept any wooden nickels but there are lots of good guys out there. Try to be open and honest. A good man will be up for the challenge. Remember that you have lots of people of both sexes on here to turn to for advice.

I was listening to a radio doc on shipyard workers of the Northeast of England. It seems that back in the day there was not enough time for workers to visit the bathroom. You could be down a hold or keel and it could take a good 20 mins to get to a toilet. As you were also paid on piece work that meant that you went near to job. Not just #1s but #2s as well. So they had a guy whose job it was to clean up the turds. He was also paid "per item" @ 6d or half a shilling, but to increase his wage he would cut the big ones in half. Consequently, he was known as "Half a bob a jobby Bobby".

Why do so many males hover or look at my profile?
273kelvin comments on Sep 4, 2018:
I occasionally hover or even view a profile of guys. I am straight and I am not looking to change but often this will be simple curiosity. Where are you from? age? interests? education? background etc? Will add a little colour to a post or comment. For example if someone posts a UK artist be it in music or a comedian. Its fun to know or guess where/how they may have gotten to like them.
I write dirty parodies of songs.

Open mics are good. Here`s one of mine A song for x-factor Making cash for simon (sung to the tune of " making plans for Nigel " ) I`m only making cash for Simon I only do what`s best for him I`d even sell my sisters hymen Simon needs to be wealthier man And if my voice is weak and scrappy With all the strength of papier mache I know the auto-tune will make it fine make it fine I`m only making cash for Simon Simon and I have already signed a deal When Cherryl Cole says "wye eye man" Simon says the outcome is as good as sealed And if my voice is weak and scrappy With all the strength of papier mache I know the auto-tune will make it fine make it fine (like it was me all the time)

"So this was all just a show so the orange one could tell the people 'look, I'm a strong leader that can beat the Iranian rag head dogs'... How pathetic can you get.. Edit: And now I hear we didn't have any casualties, but I hear Ayatollah is telling his people they killed 80 Americans. Soo typical.." Trump says 0 Iran says 80 Can I have a 3rd opinion, please?

Have you ever hitchhiked?

I wrote a post about this over a year back. I owe thousands of miles in karmic debt but you don't see them anymore. I would not mind but it is safer nowadays, what with GPS and phones, etc. https://youtu.be/1tE4R8JN7zk
Has anyone visited the Hearst Mansion?
273kelvin comments on Mar 3, 2020:
Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) took nearly as long to build 1904 - 1978 and got finished up early without its planned spire. Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott, the same guy who did the iconic British red telephone box. It exhausted the Woolton quarry of sandstone (after which "the Quarrymen" ne Beatles were called). I have met guys that served their apprenticeships and retirement on that job. One regret is I never went to see "Murder in the cathedral" about Thomas Becket played there. Impressive building https://www.google.com/search?q=Liverpool+cathedral=ALeKk03fMe64DhIRd7DTXXy7j9BhyWIxt=isch=iu=1=Xa-7rlIvyXt8VM%253A%252C3CAQTY8tUWITIM%252C_=1=K_tZzE_p8GxMpRiE1NflwlWsqZnac%3D&sa=X=2ahUKEwjF1LWusf_nAhWRaRUIHaH7A0EQuqIBMCR6BAgYEAY=1600=757#imgrc=Xa-7rlIvyXt8VM:=1
Has anyone ever pawned anything?
273kelvin comments on Feb 24, 2018:
I pawned some jewelry years ago Interestingly it is the origin of the nursery rhyme " Pop goes the weasel " The " weasel " being cockney rhyming slang for a coat. (weasel-stoat-coat). To " pop " meaning to pawn. Where I come from there`s an expression "popped his/her clogs " ie. died. Shoes, boots or clogs being the last things to get pawned.

It's interesting when you compare this version (and Etta James or Tom Jones) with the original Randy Newman version. Whilst the former comes off like a raunchy love song the latter is sung by a creepy sexual bully. (his words) It just goes to show what a difference the singer makes. https://youtu.be/tEGy4fI-2y0

Late at night on a camping trip, we were visited by a whole family of badgers. Their pictures look cute but up close they are very impressive. The adult males being 3 feet long and about half as much wide. You sure would not want to mess with them.

I know that it can work for some but I did try getting back with my daughter's mom some 15 years later. It was lovely to be spending time with my daughter but if the cracks that were there in a relationship are still there. Then there is no point in painting over them As for re-locating? Mmmm I would not leave my flat now for anyone. You cannot be on an equal footing if your home depends on whether they still want you around.
Watching now (just because) Bull Durham. What are some of your favorite baseball movies?
273kelvin comments on Aug 2, 2019:
"The Natural" mostly because of the great Randy Newman soundtrack. That fanfare at the end is something else. Being English means that I don't really get baseball. I just watched a very old one on cricket. "The Final test". The plot is a young writers (Reggie Palmer) dad is playing in his last game. The lads' hero is a writer (Alexander Whithead played by Robert Morley) who loves cricket and persuades him to go watch his dad play. Here is the best quotes on our archetypal game. "Alexander Whitehead : Why don't you like cricket? Reggie Palmer : Well the fact of the matter is I find it so frightfully dull. Alexander Whitehead : Frightfully dull? Well of course it's frightfully dull - that's the whole point. Any game can be exciting - football, dirt-track racing, roulette. The measure of the vast superiority of cricket over any other game is that it steadfastly refuses to cater to this boorish craving for excitement. Alexander Whitehead : Chekhov and cricket - great similarity you know. Same sense of shape and pattern, form and design. Each done with that superbly satisfying art which conceals art. The same passion for the beautifully inconclusive."
Just looking for some opinions. At what point and for what reason does Erotica become Pornography?

To the photographer it depends if its in or out of focus. To the writer how many synonyms, similes or metaphors were used. Broadly speaking, one is cerebral, the other mechanical.
Can anyone tell me if this is a red flag?

I tend to go for early dates. You are either interested or not and a coffee date will clinch if there is any attraction. To my mind "Let's talk some more" sounds like "Can I think about it" to a salesman. In other words "No but I am too polite to say so". Put it this way, how long would you have to think about looking at some new shoes? Not buying them, just going for a look/see? There are lots of time wasters on dating sites and some are only there for the chat. If the guy wants to weed those out quickly, who can blame him? Okay, not being upfront and saying he can be patient might be crossed wires. He could mean patient in regards to getting involved or sex? If you meet someone IRL outside of dating sites? Say at a bar or through mutual friends. You do not text endlessly for days before saying "Hello". That is the horse before the cart and all the other stuff like politics, interests, etc. rightly came afterward. With the internet, it seems like there are dozens of filters that we have to get through before setting eyes on each other. No wonder so many of us are disappointed when our date's profile does not quite match up with the person? There was an excellent article posted on here a long while back by a professional NY businesswoman. She was not having much luck with dating sites and applied her business acumen to the problem. Firstly she addressed her marketing strategy and altered her parameters of potential dates. This gave her a wilder field but meant sifting through more guys to find one that she liked. Secondly, she adopted an early date policy as 20 minutes IRL will tell if he is worth it or not? Then she would book up to 3 dates in a day, just as if they were business meetings. This had the added advantage of only getting her hair done once and only one dress to choose. In the end, a guy who would not normally make the cut booked a date on the Brooklyn bridge with a hip flask. He was romantic, imaginative and charming. So she texted to cancel all her other appointments.
Today is Saturday.

What do you say to a Muslim on Christmas day? "A pint of milk and a packet of cigarette papers please" I remember when all Sundays were like this. Pubs shut till 7.00 pm. TV much the same except for religious programs. Shops shut and only the radio for entertainment. Which with the exception of "pick of the pops" was a almost as dire as the TV. People wonder why in such a now secular society as the UK is, I am so anti religion. It is the memory of all those interminable Sundays
Oh the silly place names that I have visited over the years, Hell, Elbow and Orgasm to name a few.

Actually the word "homophobia" is wrong. "homo" means the same, as in homogenized. So homophobia strictly means being the afraid of being the same as everyone else

If you cannot acknowledge the past? You cannot even begin to move past it. (Assuming that you might want to) As a child, I was taught local Liverpool history. This would be impossible to do without including at length its major role in the slave trade and subsequent sugar/cotton trade. As a result, the city does not have an unspoken black sheep past but a pride in being probably the most racially tolerant and diverse conurbations in the UK.

All drinks lose flavour when chilled. Thats why scotch on the rocks is an anathema to the Scottish. One trick to improving the taste of cheap drinks is to filter them. A simple coffee filter is enough to take away much of the bad taste. FYI do you know why JD is filtered 7 times? Because it is undrinkable if only filtered 6.
What kind of "hidden agenda" do people have when they're searching for somebody to date?
273kelvin comments on Feb 24, 2019:
Mine is the same but opposite. As a smoker I will not date a non. The disapproval, constant mouthwash and exile to my car every hour or so, is somewhere I have been before and have no desire to go again. However this is part of my profile, as it should be on yours. The question was "What do you not put down?" Must not look too old is unspoken with me. Yes I know at 61 its a big ask but you can be old and not look it, Its often a question of how you dress. Also "no plebs" text spk, into footie, and such tend to get swiped left. I want a lady I can converse with.
Forgive and forget?

I dont believe in turning the other cheek. as it gives rights to people who should not have them. That said, it depends on the hurt given to you. I tend to go with Kipling on this. "....being lied about dont deal in lies. Or Being hated don`t give way to hating. Nor look too good or talk too wise". PS. it was if not written by the Romans they were it`s demographic.

As an outsider I cannot offer concrete solutions. I live where guns are not part of normal life and I am glad of that. I do however think it is about time that America starts to end its love affair with firearms. That does not mean bans or prohibition, there are lots of things that are legal but frowned upon eg. smoking and excessive drinking etc. that we allow but do not glorify. If guns are necessary in American society, then so be it but so is going to the bathroom and you don't see politicians pictured with their families all sitting on the shitter.

So a guy thinks that he does not have to steer his car because god will save him. He then crashes into a tree. So what! one less idiot. We would be thankful that no one else was hurt. That guy was the same only worse. The overwhelming vanity of it all is what pisses me off. Its bad enough when they shout at you on the high street "Repent sinner before its too late." I shout back "Who the fuck are YOU to tell me what I should do and think? What gives YOU the right to say that you are any better than me or anyone else." It was not the love of god that drove that man. It was his colossal vanity.
