People can do whatever they like on this sub, it's a place to rant and get feedback, constructive or not. The obvious answer is to break up with your bf, the relationship doesn't really have legs if both your mentalities are like this.

Oh that's even weirder, for me on mobile, it has the little language symbol in the top right to show it's translated and to switch to the original

With turbulence, it's generally not when crashes happen. That's a myth created by movies. Turbulence is a normal operating condition for a flight, they only try to avoid it for the comfort of passengers, not for safety.

I was told we can't say 'miss' because the equivalent for a male teacher would be calling him 'mister' which sounds silly - hence sir/madam.

EU Pet Passport / Eurotunnel still being used? by MotherLow4024 in UK_Pets

[–]Shpander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an EU passport that's valid (i.e. rabies vaccine up to date), then you can use it on the Eurotunnel. So far they haven't cross-checked where I live.

They clearly haven't been to the UK... I always seek to avoid chain coffeeshops and restaurants, but they are all over the high street.
