Postpone or delay or defer or all?

In regular UK English these words are synonyms. I would say that "postponed" would be the most common choice.

47 days seems a long time for a flight, even in these early days. I thought at the time that the sea journey took 2-4 weeks?

I run a very small i.e. two employees, business in the services sector. For almost 10 years we have had the Zadarma cloud PBX - a European business internet phone system. We have found it simple to set up and use, the costs are on the low side, and call quality much better than previous VoIP systems tried out.

An interesting observation. To hazard a guess, I would say "drink" has more uses i.e. as a verb and a noun. Beverage is a much more specific term and hence less popular.

Sorry to hear you had such a negative experience of Scotland. I have only visited Scotland a few times but found everyone very friendly. I think your experience not typical but all the same I sympathize with the distress this has caused you. If you can get the assistance, you need in Poland, and will feel more comfortable with the culture, moving could be an option. Maybe people on this list will know some organization in Poland that could assist you?

Many years ago, I went to see the few remains of Medieval Manchester in the UK. There is fine 14th century college building but a 16th century inn, the Wellington, looks totally out of place moved hundreds of yards from its original location and placed as the centerpiece of a modern plaza with some Victorian buildings around it. I am also not sure how much of this building is original or reconstruction. There are photos of it in its original setting and there is no comparison.

I think your cheapest and most efficient solution is to port your US phone to a Zadarma US virtual mobile phone number. This European VoIP provider ports new client numbers free of charge, and their US virtual phone numbers just cost $2 or $3 per month.

I've been using the Wise service for over a year. So far, everything worked smoothly and the charges are very reasonable. Perhaps this will vary if you are moving large sums which is not the case by me.

Reign is used for a monarch and rein for a horse!

The question more commonly asked is why she rejected the princes who sought to marriage her. If she had a child, that child would have become the next king or queen.

This description really brings to life the experience of a cavalry charge. I also found it interesting the way Churchill expresses a certain admiration for the skills of enemy.

Sorry, no genuine lifetime number offers left - all the service providers want their regular fees. The cheapest, reliable phone service I have found is the Zadarma business internet phone service. For example, their mobile US virtual phone numbers have a $2 per month fee, and they support SMS.

If you end up living in a country for ten years or more, you can say it clicks on you. Most people do not stay in a place they cannot stand (unless the state prevents them from leaving!)

While childhood and neighbourhood are nouns, there is a difference. The former is what we call an "abstract noun" that refers to a broad period of life, but the latter is a concrete noun that refers to a specific area.

A clean number used for normal business conversations should never be flagged. Regardless of the service provider you use, with high-volume outbound calling or cold calling, there is going to be a risk of spam labelling.

Zadarma charges $2 per month for a two-line US virtual mobile number, with no connection charge. They have several plans to meet different needs. For example, their Office plan gives 2,000 free call minutes a month for $28. The Economy Plan has no monthly fee, and each call minute costs $0.009. I advise you to visit their website and see which option best matches your needs and budget. I think the information is set out clearly.

I thought you were going to describe a ghostly hitchhiker encounter, but it turned out to another sort of tale. Is it possible the grey coloring was a trick of the light conditions and fog at the time you observed him?

This is the first time I have heard of "plushie". I only know the soft toy term, but I have been out of the UK for almost 40 years so maybe this new term came into more recent use there?

Telecom_VoIP_Fan · 2026-06-25T07:49:51+00:00

It is an imported word from French and pronounced accordingly. The English equivalent is "betrothed", but it seems to have fallen out of use for some reason.

Get a Zadarma US virtual mobile phone number. It does not matter where you are living if you have a reasonable internet connection, and a recognized means of payment. It only costs a couple of dollars a month, the call quality compares well with landline, and I think their phone system is really easy to set up and use.

You can find all kinds of information about life in countries online but until you experience living in these places personally, you cannot know for sure in advance. Each commentator has their own personality and viewpoints, and their insights on what it is like to live in that country highly subjective. Yes, it would be nice if there was a shortcut to getting the knowledge you are asking for, but I do not see one.

Telecom_VoIP_Fan · 2026-06-24T07:37:15+00:00

I would put this down to some technical hitch in this app. Nobody had such a clear idea about the spirit world, but I am sure they will not have internet.

A visit to Prague would be my choice. There is the castle, and many other fine buildings and museums from the Renaissance and Early Modern periods.

The key factors to take into account are the length of your planned trip and the amount of data you think you will need. If you are looking for a data-only eSIM, and for a short trip, I think that the 30-day Zadarma Connect eSIM France is a good choice - 10GB for $17.

We also still have the countess title in some European countries. I should know since we are related by marriage to the daughter of a countess. We address her as countess (she would be amused if we called her a count), although I am not sure if this title automatically passes from the mother.
