He seemed like a bit of an eccentric but in a different way than you'd imagine.

Interestingly, as November is a bit of a tight month financially especially after the move last month, I clicked on the 'pay interest free in four installments' and was instantly accepted. Good to know Amazon has got my back, but a bit scared of the flexibility this offers in the future.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

There is a brilliant book by Douglas hofstadter called Godel, escher, bach:the eternal golden braid,which explores patterns and similarities in the creational process that surround all three subjects. It's such a clever book, and this actually reminded me I need to read it again, as I last read it 20 years ago.

Corkscrew lad helped pick this, hoping it's on point. He seemed so excited when I asked for help as if he was going to lead me through a wonderful experience of finding the perfect wine for me. Was pretty crestfallen when I took that away from him and named a particular village I wanted wine from (Fleurie) and he didn't have it. Something similar at least. Don't worry CC, I'm not the wine wanker, it's for a friend.

The one great thing Black Friday helps you realise is that at least 90% of what is on Amazon is absolute tat

Someone needs to explain to him that the fact he never even thought it was a bad idea shows how racist he actually is
About three years ago I dressed up as an All Black for Halloween (I had a NZ jersey, seemed like an easy win). I didn't end up doing this but the thought crossed my mind to use eyeliner to do a Maori face tattoo to liven up the ensemble. It never even crossed my mind to go and google whether Maoris think that's ok or not, in fact to this day I have no idea if that would be totally ok, worse than blackface or anywhere in the middle.
I find it hard to accept that this ignorance on my part shows me up for the deeply anti-Polynesian racist that I am. I have no history of anti-Polynesian sentiment whatsoever.
Someone saying to me, 'listen mate, that's not considered kosher you should think about washing it off' is perfectly adequate to disabuse me, educate me and solve the problem without screaming at me that I'm a nasty fucking racist to go along with it surely?

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostWell first rewind 50 years before moving forward 2:33 mins. That's a clip from the US which had black slaves and from 1968. Whats the specific relevance to what a lad in Enniscorthy does? Did Enniscorthy also have black slaves and lynchings and lack of basic civil rights for African-Americans?
