Don't know but that sounds like pretty gay stuff to me.. Holding hands on the beach... If you gay it's fine... But straight men?

Who smelled it, dealt it! 
 

A lot of other things bother me more in that country than the desert Berber men culture. It’s always nice to see different people at ease with themselves and that shocking you.

No circumstances for you and me, but it’s a different culture altogether.

Very common in Nigeria, when I was working out there one of my Nigerian colleagues did it a lot, the first time he held my hand it freaked me the fuck out but given his position as CEO of the parent company it was seen as a massive compliment and all his staff instantly started treating me as a VIP. Once I learned what it was about and he wasn’t going to tongue my ear it I became more comfortable with it as an act of genuine friendship but it always felt weird. Very often his wife and kids would be walking behind us. Different cultures.

They're just not straight jacketed into a narrow definition of manliness like we are. 

A bit of warmth with your fellow man. Whats not to like.

On one side, I agree with you.

on the other hand, what happens in the desert… is usually not spoken of

it used to be absolutely normal for men to go arm in arm of holding hands, but then there was a huge public trial of Oscar Wilde in 1895 for gross indecency and sentenced to 2 years hard labour. That alterered the public perception of any kind of open display of affection between men and is probably the reason for the english being such prudes today when it comes to sexuality or even nakedness in public.

I had to look it up the first time I saw ICE and that led me off on one about why you needed to specify internal, what external combustion engine would be and the vagaries of engine efficiency. 
 

Had a good couple of hours geeking out in that 😂

I did not know that. I always attributed the inflexible uptight prudish attitudes of today to the Victorian era.

As you know.....I've always posted as a Member, not an Admin.

So from my POV now I don't need to put my Admin hat on to deal with anything on the board itself.

So now you’re going to be a bugger cunt than before? Just wondering if that’s possible? 😝
