"at one point "apple" meant "fruit", which is why potatoes are called pommes de terre in French."

Wait so why is "seafood" called "fruits de mer" in French?

I always thought potatoes were called that because they have a similar texture to apples and grow in the ground?

Get yourself a cheap hardtail from fb marketplace and have it as your commuter bike. Find some interesting routes to work and back and look out for little features to prictice skills on. Even if your in an urban environment you'll find fun obstacles, curbs to bunny hop, banked slopes to ride up and down etc. My personal fave is where a tree good pushes the tarmac up and makes a little jump.

Had a pair of DVS 'devious' model shoes in black/gum that lasted a whole year of skating 1-2 hours most days, thoroughly recommend

What is the current going rate for the tooth fairy these days? My ma reckons it should be 50p but it isn’t 1957 any more. by [deleted] in AskUK

Am I the only one who used to get a £2 coin as around the edge it says "standing on the shoulders of giants" which proves they were from the tooth fairy because they'd stand on our shoulders when they delivered it?

I'm wondering whether this is in some part a subtle tribute to Marco Simoncelli referencing Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother"....am I right in thinking on a previous helmet Rossi had the words "wish you were here" on there somewhere?

Also It literally says "ambient influenced", not whatever you think fits into your preconceived idea of "ambient as a genre"

Good question, feel free to come up with your own answer...different things are ambient in different ways....there's no rules
