GEORGE W BUSHI posted:https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink/fuming-diner-insists-bright-orange-1912072 I kinda feel for this guy, idiotic as he is. I was not allowed into a fancy pants club for my cousin's wedding because I was wearing tennis shoes. That event was smart casual as well. When the gently caress did 'smart casual' even become a thing?

"The Chase is a 1994 American action comedy film directed by Adam Rifkin and starring Charlie Sheen and Kristy Swanson. The film follows a wrongfully-convicted man who kidnaps a wealthy heiress and leads police on a lengthy car chase in an attempt to escape prison."

I like to read dailymail fluff stuff cause the world is sadness and pain anyway, but the title and little snippet from his article pisses me off without having to go any further. At last! After a life of privilege as a white, able-bodied male, now I've turned 65 I'm finally part of a victimised minority, writes TOM UTLEY "Hurrah! After a lifetime of privilege — as a white, male, middle-class, able-bodied heterosexual — I can finally stake my claim to being the victim of an -ism" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-6534133/At-Ive-turned-65-Im-finally-victimised-minority-writes-TOM-UTLEY.html Hurrah? Was subjugation something terribly missing in your life until now? Congrats...?

cinni posted:Ah, haha now it makes more sense. I am still trying to learn the who's who of their op-eds, learning about Katie Hopkins was bad enough. Off the top of my head: Well, they're a right shower. Tom Utley is more or less as I have described him; Stephen Glover is similar, except not a despicable Catholic; Peter Oborne is also similar except I think he supported the Human Rights Act largely on the basis that he thinks Winston Churchill would have been for it. Quentin Letts always came off to me like an RE teacher who flunked out of a seminary and has a sideline writing pamphlets denouncing the story of Noah for being global warming propaganda; he once wrote a book called 50 People Who Buggered Up Britain (I have a signed copy, for some reason; I think it was a Christmas gift my parents got me about 10 years ago) and included Margaret Thatcher as one entry, arguing that she "buggered up Britain" by not being right-wing enough. Richard Littlejohn is like the stereotypical extreme right-wing taxi driver who is keen to tell all his fares about how "they" should a) be strung-up; or b) all be sent back where they came from was given a column; he's the sort of guy who gripes about how rappers are allowed to use the n-word but he gets in trouble when he shouts it at football matches; the perennial joke with him is that he loves Britain so much that he's lived in Florida for most of the past decade; however, the one thing that distinguishes him from the rest is that he's an extreme right-wing republican who hates the Queen. Melanie Phillips no longer writes for them but when she did, she was the absolute worst in my opinion; she was once left-wing and I find that the right-wingers who were once left-wing always seem to be the ones who have gone farthest to the right. She had and continues to have a very specific notion of anti-Semitism which can be summed up as "disagrees with Benjamin Netanyahu"; she once accused Stephen Fry and other prominent British Jews of supporting a second Holocaust because she didn't think they liked the Israeli government enough; probably closest to the American far-right talk radio hosts you have. As I say, though, she's no longer with the Mail. Peter Hitchens, who writes for the Sunday edition, is... well, his nickname is "Bonkers" for a reason. He is Christopher Hitchens's brother. Christopher Hitchens was a self-declared Marxist and antitheist who nonetheless became a prominent apologist for the Bush administration and neoconservatism in general, likely because he decided Islam was a bigger threat than Christianity or something like that. Peter Hitchens is a different creature altogether. He is a paleoconservative; a man who thinks the Conservative Party sold out when Sir Robert Peel repealed the Corn Laws and (apparently) literally believes that David Cameron and George Osborne were Trotsykists. But the single most bizarre thing about him? He seems to really, really, really like Jeremy Corbyn.

Casual actually just means you don't need a tie and jacket. It's still far more dressed up than what people typically wear nowadays compared to when you were expected to own a minimum of 2 suits

I’m going to blow the lid off this social conundrum and announce that people should just loving say what clothes are permitted and what are forbidden. My least favorite is weddings when they say “Creative black tie” or “creative cocktail attire.”
