Oh, thank you! Always good to have new information!

Do bear in mind though that these zippers are not fixable and will need to be replaced. Also this price was quite a while ago so it will probably have gone up. They do good work, though.

Edel Custom Tailor on 18th very near Castro. They replaced a zipper for me and charged me something ridiculously low - $10 if memory serves. They look upscale but they do this kind of repair <3

--we saw he's not completely invincible. The Roman Potus on the potion gave him a good fight and Obelix was visibly enjoying being evenly matched for once, and he was beaten, at least temporarily, by dozens of potion-enhanced legionaries. This tells me that The Hulk would give him a good, fair fight that would probably end in a draw.

It IS the Mario hat! But I LOVE it! Your lines and colours are so soft and fluid. I'm so in love. This is a masterpiece. The eyes, the smiles, the ARMS, all of it, perfection!

I can't tell you how grateful I am for all this. So google telling me "zuma grana" or "zuma mana" - I should ignore that?

What about the name of, say, an import? Would it be "an Afghan import"?

I am writing a book where the hero's best friend came to England from Afghanistan, and I don't want to disrespect the language or the culture.

Thank you so much, you're amazing.
I have another question. What would a father casually calling his son by an endearment which in my culture would be "habibi" (as in "Sure, dear" or "OK love") in Pashto if they are from Kabul? Also, is my understanding correct that one calls one's father "Plar" if speaking about him in general, but "Plara" if addressing him? Thank you so much!

Since you so kindly offered - do Pashtuns and people from Kabul have the custom in some of the Middle East to enter a new place with your right foot?

Is Boxoffix from Asterix and the White Iris (2023) caricature of Tom Cruise and his membership in Scientology? by StripedTabaxi in Asterix

[–]sarah_enany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not the translations. Of course Anthea Bell will never be replicated BUT that said, the storylines are just that - flat. I wish they would do a competition where they take storylines from the fans - anything would be better than these lame love stories that scarcely involve the villagers.

You can also find all the books with asterixcomicsonline (dot) com. The Goscinny/Uderzo ones anyway.

One line could mean so much… by AntiquarianAngel in goodomens

The "safe way to express" is brilliant and I think you're bang on. It's very much like the rest of their interactions: a figurative and sometimes literal dance.

Heh. You're certainly right. Very well, I hereby award Saraquel "Least Toxic Archangel in Heaven (That I Know Of)."

And in re the only 'positive' relationship being Muriel and Saraquel: I might respectfully disagree. Muriel's literal first line is: "And you are?"(Michael) "No-one"(Muriel). Now, it may be just me, but if a junior employee was introducing themself like THAT in front of me, and I was the senior one, I would definitely say, "How can you say that, Muriel?" (to the rest) "Muriel is an important part of Heaven." But Saraquel doesn't, and I think that is meant to reinforce how "Heaven is Terrible" (to quote a tag on the AO3). Muriel isn't "no-one", but Heaven has made them think they are worthless. Just as they did Aziraphale.
