Please nobody ask Grok about this one…
Nobody’s perfect
Do we know who W W was?
And the murderous leathery charm of Augusto, the older hit man.
Great film! I went to see it for a second time on Tues and enjoyed it even more. Many striking and characterful faces among the cast, to make a superficial observation.
I’ve seen the Alien artwork before. It’s wonderful. I had no idea he also did political cartoons! Thanks for this.
True. I shop mainly using a shocking pink ‘parachute silk’ bag, so in the hand or on the shoulder doesn’t make much difference macho-wise
Bang on re. the ones that don’t work on the shoulder or in the hand. That’s a majority in my experience!
I generally find that the straps are too short, so the bag hangs at an uncomfortable height.
I understood that. I had to put up a stone for my dad a couple of years ago and my grandfather’s sandstone stone from <25 years ago was only partially legible. Admittedly, that is near Dumfries where it rains 366 days a year which moss and lichen love.
Absolutely, but granite looks sterile and grim, whereas lichen covered sandstone is beautiful. Names being obscured by time and nature is a final comment on human vanity.
Death is slightly over the top. The punishment should fit the crime. I advocate a large fine for the first offence, and surgical deafening for the second. Similarly for the non-consensual use of Pervert Glasses second offence: blinding.
This argument has been normalised on the right. I have heard it from several friends who were moderate Tories in the Cameron period. Chilling.
They had Tridentine but never perfected the subs
Power cut stores I suppose… I’d hold onto them.
Yes! PGG is a superb album. It also came across wonderfully live.
We’re in the last month of the tax year, so many expats might have already used almost all their UK days. But as you say they could certainly go elsewhere.
‘Combat’ isn’t the right word. No war declared. Probably no warning. Murder.
It would. Though I’d advocate baboons instead. I admit the risk that their dominance displays may get them confused with braying backbenchers.
I’ve got a 50 billion Zim $ note somewhere….will that do?
Would it be too much to ask for one drone to explode harmlessly in Monaco?
This is exactly what’s needed.
A Ball Coq committee
This looks absolutely fascinating! Added to my buy list.
The Church of Scotland’s presence in Malawi comes to mind
Five of my 5+ women:
Penelope Fitzgerald
Lauren Groff
Muriel Spark
Sarah Hall
Ursula Le Guin
I haven’t heard that for 45 years!
Visions of rockets being attacked by bonxies
Thanks, I’ll look into this. I will certainly enquire about the qualifications of whichever subcontractor is selected.
The cost of moving is horrible. I’m going to have to move everything out, store everything for a year, then move it all back in. I haven’t been brave enough to get quotes yet.
