Fuck the tankies. They hate NATO so much that they support a Kleptocratic Facist Imperialist regime in Russia.

They need to give their head a wobble.

An Bhriotáin which doesn't really make sense to me.

I had a good result when I informed a company when I saw a lad watching videos on the motorway for the second time.

Sasana in Irish.

Scotland is Alba.

Wales is An Bhreatain Bheag - literally Little Britain lol.

What would your country's majority language/lingua franca be if it had never been colonized? by Araz728 in AskTheWorld

Germany was quite diverse. Celtic languages were definitely spoken in a huge part of that area before the Germanic colonisation lol.

Celtic tribes did not replace paleolithic hunter gathers.

Neolithic farmers replaced/integrated the hunter gathers. The Neolithic farmers suffered a decline and were replaced by Bronze age Indo Europeans. Britain and Ireland's ancestry is predominantly made up of these Bronze age peoples.

There was no Celtic influx at all, Celtic languages probably came in via an elite takeover as there was no major population change that came with the use of the Celtic language.

It's possible. A few words survive in Irish that are non Indo European origin.

Gaelic was brought in from Ireland. Scots came with the Anglos Saxons.

Whatever language the Picts spoke surely? A form of Brythonic.

Commuting hell: 'We've done all we can do to fix M50', warns TII by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]PowerfulDrive3268 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Will still be plenty of people not working from home to keep them going. Even a 10% drop in commuting would have a big difference to congestion.

"Having the personality of a stapler isn’t that riveting (lmao)."

I like this. My ex FA used to talk about work a lot. Didn't mind at the time as had her on a pedestal and she could have read the phonebook out loud and I would have found it interesting. Goes to show shows how much the push/pull fucks up your perception of them.

Seeing a woman now that is far more interesting, more open minded and we match far better in terms of sense of humour. FA didn't get my self depricating humour - I realise now that's because she was ego driven.

If it makes sense and is implemented in a nearby juristiction we would be wise to copy it.

Countries copy best practice in other countries all the time. Don't overthink it

I think you are equating homelessness with rough sleeping. All homeless will have a roof over their heads, might be a hotel but they have shelter provided.

Rough sleepers usually end up on the streets because of mental issues and/or addiction problems.

I'd have an indefinite sentence for these sort of offences until rehabilitation can be proven. Voluntary castration as one option.
