Rambling old person storytime, consider yourself warned:

My wife is from Hungary, and grew up while it was still communist so there's many TV shows she's never seen.

When we were first together I introduced her to Star Trek, which she'd never heard of, and we got into the routine of watching one or two episodes of TNG every week.

Fast-forward 9 years and we'd watched every Trek we wanted to, and were at a loose end on how to continue. My first thought was Babylon 5, but after Trek that first season appeared rough as anything, and it became more of a time-filler than actual enjoyment.

A little while ago we hit the third season, and my goodness, it's still rough, but the whole thing came together into something properly enjoyable!

Me and my wife just hit our 10 year anniversary, and we're both happily Trekkies together :-)

"I thought you said Debbie was top of her class?"

"Yeah, I did."

"But her grammar is terrible!"

"Not that kind of top ..."

Never met a horse IRL that liked wearing a bridle ... are they both subs?

Yes, it's one of the maybe 3 times my mother has been genuinely honest about herself with me so it's a very treasured memory

I literally had this exact conversation with my mother in 1989 ... she went to an all-girls college (16-18) and said it was considered normal for most girls to have a "pash" with another girl, and she still holds a candle for hers now, aged 85.

Bonus fun fact: In the original book Pussy Galore is a lesbian who who gets raped straight by James Bond's magical penis.

Blahaj user and former Brit here ... well done Ada for consistency and transparency regarding this.

The whole "let it play out" attitude really says it all, it shows cowardice and a lack of leadership ... kind of like the current prime minister.

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of how it worked in Britain from Victorian times through to the 90s

Gender non-conforming lesbian here ... this is totally going to be used against people like me, too.

I feel so sorry for young queers in the UK having to grow up with these sorts of attitudes, when I was at school it was Section 28 and I genuinely thought we'd got past that, but the fascist bigots never sleep!

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?
