Awareness at a broader level seems to have been replaced by some kind of consumption of a reality TV versión of what news should be. A herd syndrome that dictates lots of other elements of life whether it be the need to take a Med holiday or visit Clarkson's farm.

It saddens and disappoints me.
You are talking absolute bollocks.

I thought it was a chest of drawers.

In Spain, if you say that somebody has a considerable amount of "pluma", or feather, it means that they are highly effeminate. You might also say that they lose a lot of oil.

I will give you your due - you know a lot about music and old TV programmes. Maybe some latin phrases.

Not an awful lot else TBF.

I don’t know as much about dipsomania and [deleted by mods] as some expats tbf.

PeterH 03-04-2023 09:04 PM
You know a lot about posting offensive comments that get deleted by mods.

Can't you conduct yourself better on here. Ya know, as an intelligent, world knowledgeable poster should be able to do.

(It wasn't actually deleted by mods, you spanner.)

PeterH 03-04-2023 11:17 PM
You would know a lot about spanners considering you are such a tool yourself.

Can you tighten loose screws with a spanner? :D

Do you have a few in the Nissan Bluebird? Loose screws or spanners as protection for late night assaults disturbing your sleep.

Maidstoned told me to ask that.

Not sure what the thinnest measurement known to mankind is - but supermarkets certainly know it when they slice their ham.

Sort of have the opposite problem.

We want thin-cut ham, and the girl will do a slice and show me, and I say can you go thinner, and she will say that is as thin as the machine will go. (odd thing is, a different girl can get it thinner on the same machine)

Maybe I should pop over to England to get my ham.

I should add that I personally am OK with the thicker slices, but I'm working under instructions from she who must be obeyed who gives me an earful when I bring home less than super thin slices.

... when you get some sort of toffee or boiled sweet stuck on the bottom of your shoe and not only does it get in the nooks and crannies of your trainer's sole, but gets on your car floor mat and the break and gas pedals.

Bitch to clean off.

Americans who cannot understand that it's an accelerator pedal that makes the car go and that, when you want to stop, unless you use the brakes your car will break.

Isn't that the loud pedal?

Wearing trainers when in your 60's? - that's just wrong.
