Much as a 12oz steak won’t weigh exactly twelve ounces when served to you after cooking them a 2x4 piece of wood was nominally that measurement prior to the kiln drying process.

There was a king called “Cnut” - English/Danish name.

The British army are/were looking into synthetic alternatives…

I think this is more of a geographic problem than a fashion problem.

Shout out to Ren whom I genuinely believe to be a generational talent - someone who has the potential to alter the course and content of popular music going forward.

Gotta give props to the classic tweet: “If you had to choose between saving Piers Morgan’s life or ordering a pizza what toppings would you choose.”

If everything else is wonky then “level” looks wrong.

The sleeping section has a groundsheet that is physically part of the tent - that’s quite common in the uk. Most tents are still two piece (outer and inner sheets) On this type you’d put the fly sheet and poles up and then clip the internal section (with integrated ground sheet) into place.

Yup, I pretty much agree with all that you say.

I’m so sorry you had to find out.

I’d also recommend avoiding Mr. Hands and 2 girls 1 cup but, to be honest, these three are just the tip of a vile iceberg.

I’ve embedded Wikipedia links; just in case.

If Noel calls themself Noelself then Noel is not using a pronoun but rather Noel is referring to Noelself in the third person - and unnecessarily cluttering-up a sentence.

But, fuck Noel’s life, that’s just Noel’s opinion.

Me and my life choices.

Do you regret asking that question?

“I” is the most genderless pronoun in existence - is it not? It literally means me, as a singular human entity. Linguistically I am yet to see any valid argument for its exclusion or substitution in speech. I get the whole problem with he/her etc - there are a specific niche of humans where those words are not sufficient nor apt to describe them and thankfully language then evolved for the sake of inclusivity.

Yes - but it is meant to be deliberately backwards as a check and a balance. The idea is that if every law was made and passed by the currently elected politicians only then there’d be a flood of kneejerk reactionary populist laws only. The idea is to have some people with an eye to the bigger picture…

I see people add milk, I see people add cream - is butter that different?

Yeah, yeah. I know it looks that way but they actually have more vowels than the English… go figure.

Bellend it’s just the tip of the shaft - the bell shaped bit at the end… also used to signify a stupid person.
