Er no.
I drink whatever has alcohol in it. I add fruit juice for the flavour.
Ugh! Sheep's bladder for Guinness sake. You do know what was in that bladder earlier, right?
You just made me hungry.
My neighbour has a Brit car (Rover). Stupidest design I ever saw. Rear window too small to see out of. Headlight switch in a non-standard place so you can't find it in the dark. Auto gearbox that changes like a learner driver.
There's no s*it here. I've not seen any problems at all.
Once you do get bidding started you never know how some get caught up and bid way more than they would have just to say that they won the bid.
I learned my lesson about auctions before I was 16. A store was going out of business about 2 blocks from where I lived. I had a friend whose dad managed the store so I went over and was behind the auctioneer. Someone bid about $ 15 for an item. The owner asked the auctioneer what to do as the knives were only $ 10. The auctioneer said they bid that , so that is what they pay. That was around 1965.
Different regulations, not necessarily stricter, and some were utterly asinine. For a company like Citroen that never did well in the US market it wasn't worth the effort.
Job security for a bunch of OCD bureaucrats.
Yes. Seals don't always play well with fluid that they weren't designed for. A friend of mine did some work on one of these little beasts:
I was younger than that when I went to a barn auction, what they call an estate sale now. Berlin NY is rural but it's close enough to civilization that things like that were attractive to what we called auntie cue hunters. It enriched the local economy and gave us laughs.
It was a whole different mindset. We might be looking for a cheap crosscut saw, they were looking for objets d'art to hang on the wall and would bid up some rusty dull saw to five times what the hardware store wanted for a shiny new one.
afaik the only sport Steve Wozniak ever got into is Segway polo. Once a geek...
There were challenges back then. I remember one project for a CRT using an 8085. You had the CRT's horizontal retrace time to get your s*it together by looking up the characters in a ROM map. Then you had to pump out a stream of bits during the scan line. The oddity of the 8085 was the POP instruction was fast so the data was pushed on the stack and then popped off to keep up.
It was fun. With limited memory and processor speed you pretty much knew what everybody was doing every millisecond and were looking for ways to shave time.
The posh types are where you find them. I've lived most of my life within 200 miles of the Canadian border. Plenty of mountains and stuff doesn't grow very well. On good years the growing season is about 100 days here.
You are correct that the Deep South doesn't tend to be posh, but southern California has its enclaves.
The intermountain west in the US has a long populist tradition. There hasn't really been a Populist Party in 100 years but it was left wing when it was around.
There are many variations but right or left the mood is 'sod off and leave us alone.' Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada tend to be the same. We don't like the nabobs in DC, Ottawa, California, or British California.
The city names depend on where you are. Despite being renamed New York after you Brits won it from the Dutch, the names tend to be classical like Rome or Syracuse, Dutch/German like Rotterdam, or Indian like Schenectady.
New England is more into remakes right down to the odd pronunciation of places like Worcester. Anybody that makes three syllables of that and pronounces the r's ain't from there. Leominster is the same.
Since you're still posting, I assume you aren't near those fires?
Then why the similar name?
It's a US dictionary. Do you export?
Agreed.
Doesn't surprise me. Jagwarrrr. ROTFPMSL!
Elaborate.
Hasn't affected me at all.
I don't affect myself in a negative way.
The pom Marmite wasn't available here after the disruption of production due to WW1 in pomland so a local did his own much better alternative and obviously chose a similar name so that those who wanted it would buy it.
Yep. It was owned by Kraft for a while.
They are nothing like a phone.
It will do if Boris is ever actually stupid enough to allow another referendum. Bet he isnt that stupid.
Corse you do, blotto and drug crazed every f****ng night.
There's no point in you replying to someone if they won't see your reply. Just how thick are you? You might be reading this in the UK group, but Bowman only reads the American group. The only sensible answer is for you to both post to both.
