There’s still time…

I definitely believe you as one time, playing cricket in a common room at school, my friend hit a tennis ball and it smashed a break glass fire call point (mcp?) setting there fire alarm off.

I’m not sure about the life span of Olive oil but oils that are infused (e.g. garlic) can lead to botulism which is… uh, best avoided.

Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.

There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

On a tangent I went to buy a secateurs (small plant chopper) off eBay - they wanted proof I was over eighteen; via a credit card. My eBay account is 16 years old. What the actual fuck?

There’s loads of internet radio stations with no commercials… and no dj’s neither. I just Shazam the tunes I really dig and go to eBay. Discovered a tonne of good acts this way.

The British army are/were looking into synthetic alternatives…

Lots of non-white Welsh people too.

I like how you think. Why waste energy fighting your enemies when you can set them on themselves?

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Shout out to Ren whom I genuinely believe to be a generational talent - someone who has the potential to alter the course and content of popular music going forward.

Believe in yourself - if nothing else.

I never knew that. I thought it went from beagle to seagull and then on to eagle…

If everything else is wonky then “level” looks wrong.

The sleeping section has a groundsheet that is physically part of the tent - that’s quite common in the uk. Most tents are still two piece (outer and inner sheets) On this type you’d put the fly sheet and poles up and then clip the internal section (with integrated ground sheet) into place.

Ignore what randos on the web say - the opinions of only two people matter. You and her. Good luck; however it works out.

You’re familiar with market towns in the UK? A bit like one of those but with hours and hours of agricultural land all around it. A solitary high street in the middle of nowhere.

N.B. I’m not USian so don’t know what I’m on about…

Melt your bank card in acetone. Carefully remove the chip and copper antenna. Place in small mould, fill with resin. Bobby Fingers (YouTuber) did this for a one-eyed friend so he could pay with his eyeball… Consider an rfid blocking case.

Yeah - back in the day A/S/L was asked so you had a rough idea of the type of person you were talking (typing) with…

37/M/India v 15/F/US would give you a very rough idea of the demographic the other person belonged to - and might shape your conversation differently.
