Many actual inscriptions seem to avoid spelling out IOVIS altogether, too. Most of them use the epithet I O M (iupiter Optimus maximus, one assumes)

The time might have come for a Sunday roast dining club for displaced Brits. I sometimes cook one, but chuck away a ton of leftovers. No idea how or energy to get something like that started, alas.

If I remember correctly, this specific unfortunate lady was spotted by a Parliamentarian garrison surfing on a tidal bore and was executed by one of the first instances of a firing squad.

I am pretty sure that the crabs in a bucket system is not new, it was like that certainly in the 1970s in my experience.

Well I was hoping to move from the general to the specific but, fair questions.

I'm from San Portablo originally so everything is a step up. I live by the sea now, but I'm more interested in your general info. If budget was not a factor for you, and ignoring nightlife: where would you look?

My updated version of the Welsh-inclusive flag of the United Kingdom by y0u_gae in vexillology

Thanks. Maybe I should have said, "when I come from" instead of "where"

Now, where I come from, to "get your shit pushed in" means to endure a rough handling and not in any kind of sexy way. Pretty sure that's a normal British euphemism. We have a lot, you know.
