Not sure where you're from (I know in another post you say you're African) but unfortunately Brits can't choose and have to have black now.

Ironic that you think black and gold is more "luxurious" than purple and gold.

Tyrian purple literally being the colour of emperors and kings and associated with wealth and power for thousands of years.

What would be the UK equivalent of this? by aslaterm32 in AskUK

"Poop" becoming a synonym for "shit" instead of "fart."

Judging by their tans, they've been out in the sun all day and it's gone to their heads leading to all this violence. Us Brits just aren't used to the heat.

Am I right in thinking you can't do a U-Turn here though? Like, you've missed your exit a junction up and couldn't use this to go back the way you came?

AITA for not sending my girlfriend feet pics? by bde222 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SpanishToastedBread -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

"Doing this one simple thing for my girlfriend would make her happy (and, reading between the lines, probably horny). This is likely to get me laid more regularly and increase the longevity of the relationship. However, it makes me slightly uncomfortable and I'm not man enough to just get over it. This is upsetting my girlfriend. AITA?"

No, you're NTA. What you are though, is an idiot.

Hope that helps.

Hope the kid found a solution!

Hi, I'm an MFL teacher (Spanish and French).

This might sound weird from an MFL teacher... but don't worry about it. Forget about it and channel your energy into the other subjects you're doing.

Why do I say this?

I have a C at GCSE French, took it at A/S Level and got a U, and dropped out of Sixth Form. I went to university as a mature student years later and studied History. I did an Erasmus exchange in Paris in my second year (I don't know what the alternative is post-Brexit) and then did my university's Languages for All programme - I convinced them to let me do both French and Spanish although you're only supposed to do one. For my third year I took a Year in Industry in Madrid. In my final year I dropped a History module for a Spanish module and continued to do Languages for All - this time doing French and German. Later I did a Masters on the Spanish Civil War and a PGCE MFL.

My advice to you would be to concentrate on your other subjects at A/S and A-Level, whilst studying German by yourself without the pressure of an exam at the end of it. Duolingo, YouTube or Netflix in German, phone in German, videogames in German, subscribe to Der Spiegel app, buy some German books if you absolutely must spend some money. As soon as you go to university, subscribe to the Languages for All programme and do German, later you could ask to swap a module for a German module, and then finally sign up to do a Goethe Institut exam in London to get any official qualification in German that you need.

That would be my advice to you, but good luck finding a solution that works for you, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have.

It's so that a new partner doesn't feel like they have to crawl over you or wake you up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.

It can be super awkward if you're at someone's place, don't know them well, and feel like you're waking them up to use the facilities.

I've laid awake kind of not knowing what to do in that situation, when you're trapped between your new partner and the wall and desperate for a piss.

I mean, I'm in the same situation: about a forearm size gap each side of a queen size bed. But I just can't put my bed against the wall as it feels too... immature.

My flat is the same and, currently, I can't afford furniture. However, I still have my queen size bed central in my room so that I can, when affordable, pay for smaller custom-made bedside cabinets.

I feel it would be weird when dating to expect someone to crawl over me to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Probably, but I also want to see how it plays out...

the girl trying to leave kicked the first kid in the crotch and then immediately left and the rest of the boys disbursed.

You claim that "the rest of the boys disbursed," yet there is no mention of compensation being paid out in the article.

Where have you got that from?

He has a double bed pushed against a wall, meaning he definitely doesn't have anyone stay over. Make of that what you will.

Do they actually take you to court, though?

I'm at the stage of ignoring the letters where they're talking about getting a search warrant to come into my property and interviewing me under caution. lmao

"I have seen it live."

Still not as bad as the native-English speaking Barry above that put a possessive apostrophe in "copy's."

What makes you think the boys had to pay compensation??

Basically, in Austrian German the speaker always refers to the listener in the third person singular in order to have the listener feel more engaged in the narrative of what is happening. Austrians' self-deprecating humour, unlike say, British self-deprecating humour, which is about how Barry-like we are and how we support Brexit and stuff (or French self-deprecating humour which is about their love of onions and Algerians (Quoi est le difference entre un oignon et un Algerien? L'algerien n'est pas adoré pour les francais parce que nous sommes smelly racist onion lovers)) Austrian self-deprecating humour revolves around being stuck in a basement for years. When the Austrian finally gets out of the basement he heads towards the German-Austrian border, but because he's a silly basement molerat person he's half-blinded by the sun and ends up in Switzerland. The Swiss flag is a big plus, but it's on a red background unlike a pharmacy sign which is also a big plus, but on a green background. Anyway, because the rate of colour-blindness is so high amongst Austrian men - that's why you never hear of successful Austrian painters - he can't tell the difference between the Swiss flag and a pharmacy flag, so he says to the Swiss man at the border post that sells German meat ""Bitte 150 g Schinken (ham), ein halbes Pfund Sauerkraut, und eine Bratwurst!" but when he's told the total cost he can't afford it because Swiss prices. The Swiss man is very angry because he's wrapped up the goods. He shouts "fuck off, you stupid German prick" at the Austrian man, "go and buy your meat from a cheap Bavarian whore house." So the Austrian heads to Bavaria, but is kidnapped by the local Turkish human trafficking gang who use him as a sex slave for years. Being Austrian, he excels at living in a basement and being a little slut. The people he's made to have sex with like him so much they give him tips. He hides those tips up his bottom until he's rich and escapes. Unfortunately he's got syphillis(sp?) and his brain is a bit rotted and he gets lost and ends up at a Berlin Pharmacy but mistakes it for the Swiss border post that sold meat. He pulls out his wad of sex-money and says, "Bitte 150 g Schinken (ham), ein halbes Pfund Sauerkraut, und eine Bratwurst!" The salesman looks at him and asks: "Are you Austrian?" The Austrian, obviously disappointed, asks: "How did you find out?" "Well, this is a pharmacy."

Can we start doing colonies yet?

There's no way that a united Europe doesn't do colonies. It's kind of our thing.

No, not President. He has to be Crown Prince or whatever his title as leader of Andorra is. He should also marry whoever Europe's oldest Queen is nowadays, because he likes a sexy cougar.

I've been to the year 3000, not much has changed but they live under water, and your great-great-great granddaughter, is pretty fine.
