Be warned: I will get on my high horse about road safety, and have a hard time getting down again. Apologies in advance. Former soldier, farmer, building labourer, astrophysicist. Current engineer.

This is how my friend's brother died. Got off the bus. His schoolbag got caught in the door. Driver didn't notice. He was five.

Exactly. Concrete is a mix of cement, sand aggregate, and water. The bags are full of cement.

The pinnacle of my infantry dining experience was on exercise, getting a mess tin full of beef stew with a slice of swiss roll stuck in it.

Nope. HBO cut the budget from $4m to $2m for the third season, and the showrunners couldn't do it on that price.

Very sad to lose a pet, especially when others might not understand how much they meant to you. Condolences OP.

Alta vista. Now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

She went from breaking stories about police corruption, to full on white genocide truther in about 9 months. It was shocking to watch.

Her husband died and she got radicalised by the alt-right. She was a good inv. journalist. It would be sad if she wasn't so full of hate.

It felt like - not that he was blaming his audience for his anxiety and stress, but stating in stark terms that we are a big part of it.

It's intensely personal. It is incisive and direct to the point of discomfort. It is accusatory and it is brilliant. Highly recommended.

Applies to belgium, finland, ireland, italy and netherlands within the eurozone. You can still get exact change on request.

Don't get me wrong - us Irish have legitimate historical grievances, but being treated as livestock is not one of them.

Someone needs to stop believing indentured servitude of one white group excuses the use of non-white chattel slavery.

We'll let it slide for the Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, but I'm watching you, Royal Irish Academy of Music.

Considering what they do, those lifeboat men and woman are royalty, they can keep the R.

At some point opinion is going to flip, and the conceit of the comment will be that he hasn't come out yet, and is still living as a girl.

And this is the healthiest scenario. She is true to herself, and he is free to find someone who can love him fully.

No, I understand. But she has been denying herself in this relationship. That can't stop until the relationship does. Both can't 'win'.

So you are a good egg, OP.

And brightside? Despite their sexual preference, they cared about and trusted you enough to try a relationship with you.

I'm not saying OP is unjustified in feeling loss, but a relationship with his gf in denial is not sustainable and would burn both out.

What does OP's expense have to do with anything? If she stayed with OP, OP is getting what they want at her expense, so it's zero sum.
