Not "the" England obv.

Really surprised that there is no adequate translation of the German word "Spießer" (blogs.transparent.com/german/untra...) into British English - considering that there are so many here in the England.

Finally deactivated my Twitter account. Nuf is enough.

This morning, my 6-yo had the idea to make paper cones, throw in 2-3 small, used toys, and sell them 1 Euro each as grab bags (“Wundertüte”) on playgrounds. He made loads of money within minutes.
