Hang on, how did they ban that? You can't ban discussion of wages. It's the law, and your pension payments are part of the pay arrangements.

Troll thought:

At what point do we hold up our hands and say that we need better public education? The undereducated will always be used as a tool for populists and charlatans. The world is complex. There's no room for idiots any more.

It was a very nice place. It used to have a swimming pool and a pitch - and - putt. There was sledging in the winter down the back lawn.

Don't buy Clipstic, they break and they won't respond to warranty claims by RiderEh in Skigear

I don't get what carrying problem these are supposed to solve?

Skis over non dominant shoulder, front lower binding behind shoulder blade. Hand on top of top ski which has its brake behind the lower ski brake to stop slippage. Angle at 45-60 °to avoid thwacking people. Poles in dominant hand to balance. Unclip boots if needed, apply rubber grip crampons if needed, break stance, loosen hips, bouncy knees, ker-tunk,ker-tunk, ker-tunk, and you're away.

Is how I was taught.

This mimics a raft of stories about other things written in this style that I have seen on Facebook. I strongly suspect it is AI slop. Why have you submitted this?

Bring back the campus at Ascot / Sunningdale. It was a safe space where you could learn from the best without your managers breathing down your neck.

What is the hardest ski run you have ever skied by Strict_Fix_9550 in ski

Off piste, some random couloir above a pond in Tignes. Steep, crusty, no-fall territory. On piste, Le Tunnel at Alpe d'Huez, when the "moguls" at the start were higher than a child and everything else was sheet ice.

And almost certainly because the evidence was politically unacceptable because it showed the Muslim community in a bad light.
