How do you explain the Dutch and the slightly less than liberal Afrikaaners?

Big Helicopters?

This is an example of cultural inversion...... the polar change in national character overtime.
For example Scandinavians as Vikings were known for Rape,Pillage and Murder they now stay at home and practice Hugge.
Current Greek sexual expressions are beige a complete change for the country that gave us the names for such a wide range of sexuality and sexual practices.

Ancient Greeks had a limited way of describing colour, for instance Homer never describes anything as blue eg he describes the sea as wine dark. They tended to use terms like kyaenos (which gave us cyan) or glaukos(glaucos) meaning light or dark or bright.
It’s unlikely that colour perception developed in recent times indeed it’s important in Hunter-Gathering to recognise ripe berries ( why you like dark wine gums even knowing they all taste the same).
This all leads to the question why did they have 27 words describing the shade of beige all relating to toast indicating both the final shade and how dark the bread was initially.
Was it because they had an increased interest in shade over colour, actually had reduced colour perception,or toast had become a cornerstone of their cultural identity?

Is recommend the video btw, I find it strangely calming

You are right leaving public transport planning to a group like us who don’t really use it is stupid.

If you linked your little trolleys together only the person at the front would have to pay attention. The rest could just read the Metro, clutch cups of coffee as though the caffeine could jumpstart their miserable lives and look suicidly depressed.

If you it large fans at the end of each tunnel you could have a permanent tailwind

It was bloody difficult to miss out more obvious signage most of the buildings round there have their name in foot high letters.

This one is only just south of the river! ( or east if you are talking about the river Neckinger).
The plaque shown on street view seems to have been removed, maybe the owners of the £4.25m flats don’t want reminding it’s the site of a notorious slum where” the evil Bill Sykes met his end in the ooze bed of Folly Ditch.”

I realise the current bridge is historic but has anyone priced up removing it and building something that works?

New to reference a few recent tags:
From one island to another
Not a home for magpies but for another corvid
And finally for Wills love of musicals Mr Schick! lived here?

Old Fish island this hoarding used to have a favourite graffiti “From shithouse to penthouse “ on it

The fact they use five five six and nine not two two three and around thirty eight are steps towards civilisation.

I bumped into the protest on the way down from Regents Park. Police numbers were low and they hadn’t formed a perimeter around the protesters so there was a lot of milling around on both sides.
Usual characters in hoodies hanging around the edges in case it got interesting.
I’ve seen more impressive riots.

I was bursting for a P so ended up riding through the edge of the protests on Haymarket making a couple jump out of the way.I’d pulled up my snood thing as a mask, copper saw me do it and I did a sort of shrug he let me past.

Lots more police and horses on Whitehall.

Wouldn’t call it a riot saw one bloke arrested but none of his mates joined in.

What is the best way to cook rice?

Edited and deleted after asking an American( they say 3-oh-3 apparently) but they do say five hundred nitro express.

1. Yes
   
   

(That’s weird I typed 2 and it says 2 when I go into edit it but the forum changes Father Jacks other option to 1.)

That’s a Theological question

That’s just cost me 32minutes of my working day

They could be recycled if Aldermaston could cope but as they can’t manage our current warheads any idea of recycling or increasing the number is just sabre rattling

Just found this abandoned project from then, I gave up because I’d filed the area between the handle and blade too thin.
