If we ditched the daft names?
If we ditched the daft names?
A friend of mine once said he’d join the army only because he didn’t have anything to live for, but I ended up helping him get a job on the railway and now he’s a train driver, and a good one at that.
And you’ll have fewer apps installed on your phone, which is something I’ve come to value lately.
Oh. Where I live you just send a photo taken on your phone by email. It’s only so they can say they’ve asked for proof you’re allowed to work here after all.
My downloads directory’s empty, because I organise everything to a laughable degree. People actually get inspired by how organised my PC and phone and so on are.
he was actually a better leader than Starmer
Without looking for a source: I seem to recall he’s the opposition leader who’s caused the most government U-turns in the history of the British parliament.
You could lay a lovely path across your garden and then you’d never be annoyed about it and perhaps you’d even be proud when people use it.
Have they not got emails where you live?
Once, a month or two ago, someone gave me the right of way when I wanted to cross the road next to a blind corner, and I stood there and refused to cross, the driver became visibly agitated, but then another car came screaming around the corner the other way and it would’ve shot me into orbit had it hit me.
Ah, I assume you took the chance to go to Llanfair PG then. Very good, very good.
Without meaning to push your buttons, you’ve defined honour using concepts that have to be further defined to really explain what honour is. Like you could ask what helpful is exactly, would it be helpful to do xyz, etc, and you could argue over it. But then that answers OP’s question I suppose by demonstrating that it’s not known a priori.
How are you getting on with Welsh? What are you using and have you got anyone to practise with?
Could you elaborate? What kind of phone do you have and do you use a free messaging application like Whatsapp?
I live in the Netherlands, where there’s a QR-code-based payment method called iDeal, which you need a Dutch banking app or little code machine thing to use. With my bank, at least, there are a few things you can do with the website that you can’t do with the app, but for day-to-day use the app’s fine.
I can recommend Firefox Focus if you’re like me and only use the internet on your phone to look stuff up now and again.
Once I decided to end my contract with Virgin Media and they kept asking me why I was leaving, so I kept saying I didn’t want to explain, I’d just cancel (because I knew they’d do their best to talk me around) and it got to the point where I became firm, but I didn’t shout, though I wanted to.
Tangentially related: after I’d signed up to the Telephone Preference Service, I knew that the only people ringing me to sell stuff were doing so illegally, so if they persisted after I’d made that point, I used to just verbally abuse them. Right cathartic.
I used to wear one on the railway. We had these ones that you switch on with a big, loud sliding clasp on it, so if someone starts acting a bit shirty, you could often deter them just by starting the recording (which held the previous 30 seconds or something in its memory).
I’ve had Qwant foisted on me by Firefox and it’s decent enough, I find, no complaints.
If you’ve already read a lot of books, you should give If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller a go.
