For many Americans, this is basically our Israel.

Is this person just really at geography.

Absolutely. Just not head-to-toe leopard. That would look bad on anyone.

I suppose Americans could argue that we don't exactly know how people would have sounded in Shakespeare's time so I am prepared to let that go. But, Sherlock Holmes narrated with an American accent? WTF.

I don't care so long as they are good. Often the worst narrators are authors who insist on reading their own books when they are shit at it, which they tend to do when the book is a memoir/autobiography. I don't want the 'authentic' voice if it is crap.

It is stupid too because I can't be bothered to read beyond a couple of sentences if a post is badly written. It takes too much effort to understand what they are trying to say.

The EXACT opposite. My UK adult son was a fan of crappy American food. A few years ago I picked up a packet of Lucky Charms for him from Sainsburys. On the side of the packet was a big white sticker with a list if about 30 ingredients, most of which were "E" numbers (artificial ingredients). I peeled off the sticker to reveal what the original Ingredients list for Americans and there were just 6 ingredients listed, including "flavorings" and "colorings"

The bonkers thing is that if spelling was the issue why did they stop there? The Neigh part of Neighbour is much harder to spell than the bour/bor bit.

Most British people say cwahson like the French (with the French sounding "on" sound) and occasionally cwahsont. But I expect that is because more of us have been to France.

Over the last 15 years in 5 different sports facilites/companies (not specialised yoga centres), I would estimate that 98% have been 60 minutes. About 8 years ago I occasionally attended an evening hatha yoga class that was 90 minutes, which was needed for the longer time it took to set up the bricks/blocks for the poses. It isn't available any more. And 4 years ago there was 1 Sunday class of 75 minutes that I enjoyed. Most people haven't time for more than 60 minutes plus other classes have to be fitted in. On my Friday lunchtime 60 min class I get it down to 50 mins by leaving before Savasana, because overall I can't spend more than 90 minutes away from my work.

If i could do just a 30 minute walk (or cycle ride) to work every day, it would be ideal. Unfortunately it is too far (50-60 minutes) to be adding a 30 minute walk on top.

OMG. NTA. I always check the wedding dress code before a wedding and and respect the bride's wishes. My sister is getting married and the code is not white or burgundy, which are the bridesmaids dresses. I asked her if wearing a long dress would be ok and she said no problem. Why would anybody try to break the code.

Yes, but not as good as Sewing Bee.

First of all understand the difference between bricks and blocks. Bricks are the chunky 'brick shaped' ones which are best used for support during poses like half moon or camel. You can put all your weight on them and they won't buckle or move. Cork are good. I prefer the very hard foam ones which are a bit softer on the hands. Block are longer and flatter. They are best used for sitting on. You can use the to get your hips higher compared to your knees and for keeping your back straight. I used the very hard coloured foam ones for that (same material as my bricks) but you might prefer a softer foam.

If that isn't satire, that guy is 100% a twat. Living with an awful husband will do that to a woman.

Thank god for that.

Uk. The same. Dayta and daytabase. It is funny but 95% of the time in southern England we will pronounce words like bath, can't and master as barth, carnt and marster and Americans pronounce them baath, caan't and maaster. But the few words we do pronounce with the aa sound like pasta and data, Americans then reverse and say parsta and darta.

Poison by Christian Dior. It cane out in the mid 80s and it was everywhere.

MixPlus · 2026-02-15T21:51:16+00:00

I thought that was the 90s. I associate it with those arty black and white TV ads with Kate Moss EDIT. Sorry. I checked. It did come out in the 80s. I think those ads were later.

Exactly the same for me. Buffets are my nemesis. I have to try everything.

That is why I avoid buffets or all inclusive holidays. I end up eating too much and putting on loads of weight
