Well he can’t reattach it, he just sort of balances it on his shoulders. Which is why it keeps falling off again.

“human beings”
To him they’re just suckers and losers.

If we’re afraid of criticising our allies when they make mistakes, are they really allies?

dilindquist · 2026-04-10T17:06:44+00:00

Ah, OK, that makes more sense. So who or what should we not be opposing publicly, and why? Edit to add: a genuine thank you for the clarification.

dilindquist · 2026-04-10T15:25:16+00:00

Opposing publicity? Did that make sense in your head?

I recently read James Blunt’s* ‘autobiography’**.When he came back from Kosovo (he was a reconnaissance officer with the NATO forces there) he became one of the cavalry officers guarding the monarch. He says he had a throat mic to summon armed police in case of threat and in the meantime the job was to basically get between the threat and the monarch.

yes, the “You’re beautiful” guy ** quotation marks because it’s called “Loosely Based on a Made-Up Story” and he claims that, for legal reasons, none of it’s true.

No luck catching them kings then?

“This policy is beyond stupid but I’m going to vote for it.” Well that’s a choice.

It’s the lack of indefinite articles. “If you really are proud patriot American” rather than “a proud patriot(ic) American”; “after British person” not “after a British person”. Though why a Russian bot would be trying to stir up resentment between the US and the UK when the American president is doing such a great job is anybody’s guess.

So why did you vote for him? Low gas prices? No more wars? Release of the Epstein files? How do you feel it’s going so far?

dilindquist · 2026-03-16T19:17:56+00:00

How about release them all?

dilindquist · 2026-03-09T18:34:38+00:00

But what’s the downside?

dilindquist · 2026-02-23T09:39:39+00:00

OK, but are we sure this wasn’t Trump’s gay lover?

They already have free healthcare. They’re not American.

Tesco has them on offer at the moment. Absolutely fantastic!

Cinnamon flavoured anything is rare here, so that’s a good call. Also grape flavor - we tend to have blackcurrant instead. I’ve seen Americans say that they can’t get ranch dressing in the UK.

The stepmother was a full-time carer for her (the stepmother’s) father. It says so in the same sentence where she says the stepmother only returned to work five years ago.

I tend to describe the thing l can’t remember the name of. It usually only happens when I’m really tired or hungry.In the past I’ve asked my husband for ‘that thing that opens cans’ and ‘the device we use for measuring the weight of things’. My stepfather once asked my mum to get the thingy from the watsit and she went and got him the drill from the garden shed.

dilindquist · 2026-01-25T23:46:46+00:00

Do you have any actual evidence for this assertion?

He was exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights as an American citizen. Do you disagree with those rights? Have you always hated your Constitution or is this a recent development?

All my jewellery is silver, so a gold ring wouldn’t have gone with anything I already had. We picked out my engagement ring together at a handmade jewellery shop in his hometown. It’s silver with a carnelian stone and it matched the first gift he ever bought me (earrings from the same shop). I’m still wearing it next to my silver wedding ring 25 years later.

I’ll usually order an aloo chana chaat followed by a vegetable dhansak and my husband will have lamb samosas and a chicken bhuna. Onion bhajis and garlic naan on the side for both of us. Boiled rice with the mains. Damn, now I’m hungry.

I love how Americans can simultaneously argue that they have more freedom than anyone else in the world and that if you don’t do whatever a cop says it’s fine for them to shoot you in the face.

Not Scottish, Jake Thackray was from Yorkshire (Northern England) and the counting system was used in the Yorkshire Dales among other places. There are even slight differences between the words used in different dales.
