Some trivia George Everest was a surveyor and the mountain was named after him but he never saw it. We say Mt Ever-est His name was pronounced Eve-rest

Catch me if you can.

Why the fuck you'd order again after the first horror show beats me.I'd rather eat the plate than what's on it.

Corruption, jobs for the boys, unlimited perks etc. The usual story.

Sorry to hear that. Splash the cash if you got it. Every little bit of comfort you can get is worth the money. This is the rainy day you've benn saving towards.

Yes, I commented on it at time. It seems to be a common problem. That may be the reason so many Australians have a plate rather than a grill. Which just converts the BBQ into a giant frying pan

I don't know if it belongs here or on The World of a Woman thread. I was at a BBQ cook it yourself place with a Vietnamese lady recently. The range of foods was amazing. Big problem was cooking the sausages,she was catching them before they disappeared between the bars. Showing her to lay them across the grill was a real watching the lights go on moment

The actual beans always taste of nothing. Its the revolting glop that they're bathed in that has the taste - i I refuse to say flavour. Rinse the glop off some of the fuckers and taste them. Bland little bags of starch in a plastic like skin.

The Blackstuff

Gotten is Elizabethan English that went over with the Mayflower. We've dropped the "ten" over the intervening centuries. Even knowing that, it still annoys the shit (not crap) out of me.

The big thing that I'll miss about Gini is hearing Vietnamese commentators trying to pronounce Wijnaldum

They're more efficient thanost government agencies is one argument. Pablo Escobar or Dido Harding. Which would you choose to run a business?

Most of these problems are down to the illegality of the drugs. The price of the drugs, variability in the strength of the drug and the quality of the diluting agent would all be solved with legalization, taxed to pay for social and medical costs. The "heavy" drugs sold in licensed premises similar to boozers. One overlooked point is the connection between addiction and poverty. There has been shown to be a strong link between increasing poverty and opioid addiction in the states. Society needs fixing. Removing criminal profits and making addicts criminals would be a fitst step but the current inequality and targeting the poor by right wing governments must also be tackled.

You never know when an unsightly nasal hair will rear its ugly head.
