The latter but to be honest they usually just hand them out on the plane. I’ve filled one of these out in the airport at the other end before passport control because of lack of pens on the plane so I’d not worry about it. It’s definitely not gonna be at least 3 days before as your gf says though, unless it’s totally different to any other country I’ve ever had to do it for. Going anywhere nice?

History Comes Inside! posted:Honestly even 20 is pushing it, but I fully accept that’s my own problem as I live in shorts and a t-shirt 365 days a year, so when it gets particularly spicy I’m already out of layers to remove while remaining compliant with local laws and common decency. I’m sort of the opposite. I hate wearing clothes but also cannot stand being cold so have to spend a lot of time too clothed. Summer comes round and I can whip out the vest and shorts. After a few beers even the vest isn’t necessary in some circumstances. I’m a SADboi so I attribute this to vitamin D deficiency rather than misplaced vanity or loutishness

Eh, what’s wrong with wild swimming? It helps differentiate between swimming in a pool and going in a lake or outside body of water, which are quite different activities. Plus, wild swimming rules and pool swimming is boring

Cauliflower cheese is AMAZING if done right. Gooey, extremely loving cheesy, with a hard, brunt top. There should be a certain springiness to the upper layer of cheese too which becomes a sort of boiling cream as you go down. Though the main point is lots of strong, mature cheese, and not too much cream. Like mostly cheese with cream just to ease things along a bit. I’ve been meaning to try it with bechamel actually. Sweet potatoes on a roast is weird but I do absolutely love the things so okay. Red cabbage is good if done right (if it’s tangy and pickled) but is defo a pub thing. Mash has always been a thing, as well as roasties, in my family. Not too smooth but not lumpy. Goldilocks poo poo. Carrots: awful steamed or boiled, good roasted. Likewise parsnips but turn awful into ‘decent’ and ‘good’ into ‘amazing’. Brocolli: pretty much always good. One of only two green things that belong on a roast, but also absolutely essential. Sprouts: divine however you cook them but roasted in halves they go the gently caress off. Easy to gently caress gently caress up this way but if you can get it juuuust right my lord. Only good thing about winter. Peas/runner beans/cabbage/swede/turnip: awful poo poo for people who DO NOT deserve any respect. PEA EATERS ESPECIALLY. Don’t get me wrong I like all these things other than swede and turnip in other circumstances but if I see them on my roast plate I’m going to conspicuously not eat them. Turkey? Ham??? Neither of these meats are roast suitable. The roast meats are: beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. Ham is served over here in pubs and it just looks so wrong… look at it, shimmering at you with its pink wetness. No, ham, you go back with the egg and chips and between bread where you belong. Or if you must be included on the day, you can become a hock and be eaten before anything else. Turkey’s like chicken but not as nice and I don’t know why we eat it. Mint is the best sauce. Don’t let anyone tell you jelly is an acceptable substitute or it only goes with lamb. It goes with everything. I think that’s about it for my Roast Opinions. As you can tell I’m quite passionate about my roasts.

I get that but it’s just not that big a deal really is it. The vast majority of the people in the UK are dog people and I’m glad we haven’t kowtowed to the minority who aren’t by making people leash dogs at all times. A dog occasionally coming to check you out is part of public life here. I just worry every time there’s a moral panic that we’ll go the way of the US. I’d hate that for the dogs, owners, and me, who loves it when a dog comes and says hello E: this wasn’t in reply to you HDS, hadn’t seen your post. That’s a hell of a run of bad luck.

I’m sorry if my extremely tame, literally never nipped or growled at anyone in her life, 8 year old Labrador coming up to give you a sniff scares you, genuinely, but that’s life. Sometimes you’ll have to go through things you don’t love because society can’t be expected to adapt to every single fear people have. Make people who are scared of dogs walk round in big cages like an armoured zorb is what I’m really saying

Pantsmaster Bill posted:I think it’s unreasonable to ask all dog owners to only walk on lead all the time, but it’s also pretty lovely as a dog owner to not understand that some people are poo poo scared of dogs. This is my take summed up more calmly than if JC hadn’t blustered in being an aggro prick as usual. My dog has good recall, and if someone doesn’t look like they want to be approached they won’t be. A lot of people do in fact want to be approached though

We reassured the owner and the dog it was fine and then got a bus to the hospital. Oh how we laughed

Lord Ludikrous posted:From earlier in this thread. Congrats, you are also a oval office. I didn’t say a dog should be able to do whatever the gently caress it wants and jump up on people, did I? I said go over and give them a bit of a sniff. If a massive fear of dogs to the point you can’t tolerate one calmly approaching you was a common thing, then sure. But there are very few people who suffer with that, and I don’t think every dog in the country should no longer be allowed to run about enjoying themselves in a park with other dogs and people who enjoy their company because of that extreme minority. Like, I know a couple of people who are poo poo scared of cats but I notice none of the ‘leash all dogs at all times’ people have said a thing about the people who let their cats out and about. For the record I agree with microchipping and licenses and your dog having good recall and such, but no dog or owner or indeed situation is perfect and if it’s genuinely going to gently caress up your day if a dog comes and sniffs you in a park, I’d suggest the parks known for being dog walking spots (oi oi) might not be a great place to hang out, in the same way I don’t spend a great deal of time in central London at night because cops scare the poo poo out of me. And people can gently caress off making this into an ableist thing - plenty of ND people love dogs and plenty of NT people really don’t. A fear of dogs isn’t a mental illness.

Lord Ludikrous posted:Well society is a bit of give and take so it’s entirely possible for both of us to go about our day with reasonable adjustment - the dog can be on a lead and I will not approach the dog. I would love to see you try and exercise a healthy, active, young dog without taking it off the lead. Likewise id like to see you try and keep a dog who needs that happy while depriving it of that. You can’t. It’s impossible. A dog licence or some such is a fair bit of give and take. Never allowing dogs to have a good run about in the country/park and socialise is absolutely not.

Lord Ludikrous posted:Yes admittedly it is a bit weak but I mentioned it because there are a lot of similarities in the way gun enthusiasts in the US reject any suggestion of restrictions despite the negative effect on society - they’re responsible and enjoy it so why should there be any restrictions? You were talking about being sniffed not being torn apart you muppet. If you’re terrified of being ripped to shreds every time a typically friendly breed that doesn’t appear to be in any way aggressive approaches you, that’s a you problem in the same way people with a fear of cars or other parts of public life kind of need to work on it or stay away from where they might be exposed to their fear. Your irrational fear isn’t something that the whole of society should have to adapt to, sorry about it. And again, I agree dogs shouldn’t be jumping up and getting nippy, but if you’re this vexed by a dog merely approaching you that’s on you bud. Also lol at the far thing, you do know we have speed limits and the vast majority of people who like cars are fully in favour of them? The world has things in it that can under the wrong circumstances be dangerous and scary, and that doesn’t mean we should be rid of them and try to minimise danger/fear at the cost of all else. Your posts, for example, cause me psychic harm but I don’t ask for you to be banned do I?

Lord Ludikrous posted:What’s a typically friendly breed? Enthusiasts of every breed including the XL Bully all sing their praises about how friendly and wonderful they are. That dog seemed perfectly fine before it tried to bite my face off, but I guess it was my fault for not doing enough research into dog breeds. As it happens I don’t get too worried when a dog approaches me because I managed to avoid suffering any real injury in previous attacks/near attacks, I do however get very, very nervous when it won’t leave me alone and the owner clearly in no hurry to keep their dog under control. I am however capable of taking other people’s thoughts and feelings into consideration and know others might not be so lucky and support leashing on that basis. Don’t be obtuse, you know what constitutes a known dangerous breed and a typically friendly breed. If that happened I’d obviously be recalling my dog pretty drat fast and if for some reason she decided she still liked the smell of your boots I’d run over and leash her and apologise profusely, obviously. What did you expect me to say? ‘I’d laugh and tell them to stop being a baby!’? It is literally everyone else. People who don’t have an irrational and extreme fear of dogs tend to either not mind dogs running about in appropriate places like parks and beaches, or actively like it. Most dogs have leashes because most dogs you see will be in the street, not in a place where it’s appropriate and safe for them to be unleashed. Again I’d like to ask what you suggest the owner of a young, active dog with high exercise requirements do if they’re required never to be able to sprint about a field after a ball? You’re literally advocating the banning of ‘fetch’ for all dogs whose owners don’t live somewhere with acres of land lol E: ^^^love to have so little experience of the outdoors I can’t recognise the difference between a bull mastiff and a golden retriever in temperament and expected behaviour E2: I’ll stop now because this isn’t going anywhere. I’m off to take Lexi for a walk in the field and I’m going to throw her ball for her off leash until she’s good and tired. I think it basically comes down to ‘should society bend over backwards to make sure nobody, no matter how unusual their fear is, is ever uncomfortable ever or not?’ Jakabite fucked around with this message at 13:53 on Sep 12, 2023 |

Clyde Radcliffe posted:They'll likely gently caress up the definition of 'disposable' and the companies involved will find a workaround. Like keep the form factor roughly similar but allow liquid refills, making it technically reusable, but still to be thrown away when the battery/coil dies. Yeah I could see that happening tbf. With flavoured cigs though it did kind of work. You can get the straights that you put a (menthol) filter in but they’re a gently caress on and I only know one person who uses them, or you can smoke rollies. You can’t get menthol cigs ready to smoke anymore (unless you go to the right shops and ask specifically with a wink). It briefly stopped me smoking anyway, and I’m now trying to quit again after going to play 5 a side and literally throwing up outside the cage after 15 minutes. Lifting weights and smoking cigs does not a healthy cardiovascular system make, it turns out.

Fair, that was a bit poo poo of me. Though I don’t think everyone who gets lovely and weird about a dog sniffing their foot has some deep seated trauma reason for it. Some people are just kind of babies about things that really aren’t a big deal. Like those people who get genuinely angry at kids who play their phones out loud on public transport or really, really hate street fundraisers to the point of wishing death on them. Personally I can’t imagine being affected by such a small thing (again outside of the people who’ve been attacked by dogs/children on buses/street fundraisers) and find it a bit daft and pathetic.
