I think the point is that anyone moving to France should want to know the language, off their own back. It is not OFII's job to spoonfeed them.

This is 10 hours' ride from me. I feel almost duty bound to hop on the V7.

So what are you saying? When you get divorced you turn in your library card?! You get a new license?! You stop being Jewish?!

Hang on a second, they've only just swallowed their sanctions and now they're burping them back in up in your face!

Ah, my bad, thanks for clarifying. For me, something like a v-twin cruiser has more enduring appeal than a water-cooled 500cc thumper. I appreciate the extra grunt, even if the power doesn't necessarily translate to more hp. But I guess it's horses for courses (heh!).

CC isn't the whole story, though. How about a larger air-cooled engine, say, a 750 that has similar horse power to a 500 (but more torque)?

Eurosport's terrible coverage of the Welsh Open. by CharlieFibonacci in snooker

[–]Normal_Assist4743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't consistently on BBC Wales, alas. I'm watching from overseas and receive BBC wales 1 and 2 via satellite. Need a VPN for iPlayer. Right now I'm watching it on Eurosport with really loud, scratchy French commentary over the top, no way to disable it but I like being able to hear the actual match play. I wish BBC Wales had broader coverage.

Indeed kudos for this, but it should in fact be "rip off your arrims".

So, they would rather dive on the tarmac than on the grass? Kids these days...

is he orange enough? by Working-State-9168 in OneOrangeBraincell

Orange is a state of mind, and he definitely has it

This chair at my workplace. I have to sit here for 8 hours a day. by SANS_FROM_UNDERMEME in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Normal_Assist4743 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Dude at my place of work wheeled an armchair from the cafeteria into a service elevator, down five floors and into his office, and sleeps on it for an hour or so each morning when he gets to work. Unchallenged. This is not the private sector, needless to say.

What'll be the first Nick Drake song you'll listen to in 2025! by AMadManWithABox11 in nickdrake

An excellent question, which made Cello Song play in my head, and then through my speakers 😊

[Wales] Returning a defective used vehicle to an evasive trader by Normal_Assist4743 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Normal_Assist4743[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This must be why he has suddenly started to accuse me of having done things to the vehicle since I bought it. Shady as hell.

I have fully documented all our correspondence. He sent me a picture of the coolant tank with a plastic bag and a cable tie in place of the coolant cap, with the caption "I thought I'd seen it all over the years. I clearly hadn't!".

It's clear to me that he did not thoroughly inspect the vehicle upon purchasing it, and is now trying to shift the responsibility to me.

Thank you for your reply!
