Sounds a wise choice. Plenty of others.

I lived for a while in Brussels and loved a trip north. One thing I discovered is that I love these heavy dark beers.

Another thing I discovered is that I'm allergic to them and get a blocked nose immediately. Worth it.

BBC will change their linked pic for that article won't they, and I'll seem like a lunatic?

The "once we hurt them they'll make a deal with us to not get hurt again" hand doesn't seem to know what the "we'll break every deal we make because lol they can't stop us" hand is doing

I think "fully sublimated" means "with fruit juice"

Another interpretation: You can't turn right if you are intending to go to the busses, etc

You may turn right for other purposes.

The drafting pedant in me also wonders if the use of "and" implies inclusivity, such that individual "busses", "HGV's" or coaches can turn.

This reads like an edgy cocktail list for a lively party.

I'd imagine a "Married Man" is probably a champagne cocktail, with (in descending order) brandy, gin or vodka.

"Ship's Queer" is vodka, soda and lime juice, with maybe a salty rim.

I have gone on the DVLA to test out their cars' registrations all the way back to the Renault 20 (EAE664W).

All gone, like tears in the rain...

I'm not up for stocks and pillory (well, largely) but denying manifest and timely justice will only lead to discontent and worse outcomes in future.

Too many responses were "We are instituting procedures...", "we have put in place changes to...", or "we are consulting on..."

I'm a lawyer and I hate the bloody minded proceduralism that is intended to protect but which is being used to weaponise the status quo.

Dirty Business Shocking real-life drama about the muck in our water and a corporate scandal

www.channel4.com/programmes/d...

I watched this and was entertained and angry. I'll leave the invective about water companies to others (Greens) but the bit that got me was the inertia of our govt on everything (nod to Grenfell at the end).

This is why Trump is popular: he actually does stuff

I only came across Ratatat for the first time last week, and now see them everywhere.

I am happy about this.

You know those pics you have in your download folder that you never think you'll use again?

Well... Time to shine.

I laughed as she managed to shoehorn it in again on her last reply.

Well done, Kemi. That definitely means you "won" as all that matters is the Debating Soc points, not at all the "content"....

Have we considered that there may actually be a person or persons who is actually out to try and kill him in London?
