But... he did then ban them. The ban was announced in literally the least subtle way possible.
I'm not saying he's definitely going to follow through with this, but I've got to give him credit on the barbeque front - no-one was in any doubt after being scared out of their skins by that alert.
I guess it's kind of like the save icon. Floppy disks have been out of use for so long, that there are adults who have never seen a floppy disk, but know the save icon.
Bob's Your Uncle is a pretty fascinating phrase, because it doesn't have a clear origin.
The earliest references to it are as a song title, mentioned in advertisements and later in a newspaper review, but neither the actual music or lyrics are known today.
Very soon after this first appearance, it starts appearing in print as a phrase people are using.
I appreciate this is probably the autism, but I've always been fascinated that most people seem to be comfortable with stripping down and being oiled up and touched by a stranger.
The odd thing is, I'd totally understand this in a sexual context - but for people to want this kind of contact just as a service, like a haircut or something, seems utterly alien to me.
I realise this doesn't answer your question, but like I said, I've always been fascinated by the concept.
Both me and my wife had a Gamecube. For my stag weekend, I hired a country house in Scotland and took both, networked them together, hooked each up to a projector and we played Double Dash with 8 players at a time. It was loads of fun!
With Double Dash I moved on to Paratroopa / Koopa Troopa.
And with 8 I moved onto Shy Guy.
For the in-between games, I kept the same as the previous entry. Even though he's not a light racer like the others, I switched to Shy Guy because I like the noises he makes.
If he does, I hope he does a better job than the "British Values" nonsense that Boris Johnson and co inflicted upon us.
I worked as a lecturer when that came out. Every course now needed to explain how it teaches "British Values". I taught programming.
"In this topic, to demonstrate the value of Tolerance, I discuss how some people prefer to indent with tabs and some with spaces. I explain that, despite often being a point of contention amongst programmers, both are equally valid approaches."
And who read those things? I'm sure absolutely no-one.
It's both heavily subsidised by the government and heavily regulated to ensure access to quality care.
For an otherwise healthy adult, you'd pay ~30% of the cost. BUT there are laws that ensure privately-run healthcare facilities can only charge the same amount as publicly-run ones. So even at full cost, these prices are very low compared to the US.
There are also caps on how much someone will spend in a month, so even long-lasting illnesses/disabilities won't bankrupt you.
Supposedly the vast majority of vape shops are fronts for other "businesses".
Vape shops are chosen because you can get a counter's worth of inventory for far cheaper than pretty much any other product. The product is also small, so the actual space needed for the shop itself is very small, leaving more space for the "real" business.
Yes on the first point - it's closer to how the Italians pronounce it. But Parmigiano and Parmesan are not the same word.
The English word "Parmesan" comes from the French word "Parmesan", which is pronounced, you guessed it, with a s/z sound.
The soft g/j is not more accurate, because it's a different word. It's an over-correction.
FWIW, the word was in English nearly a whole century before the first British colony in America. It really is a word that existed and folk in America changed the pronunciation of.
angry upvote
I assumed "OnlyFans"

That's the thing with mushrooms. Give them a chance and they'll grow on you.

It's a good call. Honestly, the show gets interesting enough without having that extra layer of trying to work out what they actually mean.

Fun times ahead if you're moving onto the Japanese series!
Are you going to play it straight and go with the subtitles, or are you going to add an extra level of insanity and watch the original Omni dub?
If this puts a stop to those "auditor" morons, then I'm 100% behind it.

Still our number one favourite.

Teeth.
American period films almost always have the main characters with super-white gnashers.
Emineminem?

Foreigners often get tripped up by Leicester - "Lie-Chester" is a common effort.
