I prefer to take advice my on child rearing from people whose kids still speak to them.

If you have a choice between littering an open tin of train gin or carrying it in contravention of TfL byelaws, which should you do?
Where is the boundary at Paddington between the applicability of TfLโs railway byelaws and anyone elseโs?

Had to book an AirBNB with a microwave in France because searching for a restaurant that can cater to coeliacs in Brittany resulted in โthese guys can do salad without toast.โ
I expect coeliacs in France just โฆ die?
Thing is, Keith, literally nobody voted for you to do David Cameron cosplay for five years.
So maybe what you need to cut is not imaginary โred tapeโ, but โthe crapโ, and start doing your job?

Looking at the interior photos, it appears to have one way glass?
I'm liking the Art Deco aesthetic. I'm liking this /much more/ than the damn Cybertruck. It's immensely impractical, and I'm not sure it'll ship in this form, but I think this is actually pretty cool.
I'd have one as a prop.
Just not from Tesla.

โNon passibus aequisโ was my motherโs favourite phrase from Virgilโs Aeneid. Literally โnot with equal pacesโ, it describes Aeneasโ son Iulus as he escapes Troy with his father, and immediately brings the scene to life. Who hasnโt seen a parent hurrying with a small child, after all?
Thought brought to you by a section of Travis Baldreeโs โBookshops and Bonedustโ where our protagonistโs dwarf friend is walking โtwo strides to every one of Vivโsโ

Us: Ok, Labour, to stop Reform doing an AfD or a Marine La Pen, all you need to do is not be Tories. So what did you do?

yes.. well
except that Reform / UKIP/ Brexit Party already did something much worse than the AfD.
They converted the Tories into Reform, and they had been in power for 14yrs, until recently.
So the UK challenge is really very different. Much more advanced on the shit arc.
@John_Loader That you havenโt noticed it doesnโt mean it isnโt there. It just means you havenโt noticed it.

The only instance of an in-use ccTLD being withdrawn that I found in IANAs reports was .TP:
iana.org/reports/2015/tp-reporโฆ
In that case, Portuguese Timor stopped existing in 2002, new registrations were stopped in 2005, and the domain was finally withdrawn in 2015.

Deep in a swamp far from Mexico
Lived an old psychopath, Dandolo!
Rich was he!
Stole from the Egyptian dynasty
Corpse of St Mark, Allegedly.
Ordered ships to be made
Diverted the fourth crusade, Dandolo!
Adding on to the total
Sacking Constantinople, Dandolo!
And when they ships got there
Theyโd come from St Markโs Square
Byzantium beware!
Youโre so fucked!
Long ago
Dealing the Romans a killer blow
Toppled the empire, did Dandolo!

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •he has a point though, I mean if you wait until "the right time, financially", you'll put it off indefinitely - unless you already have a bank account large enough for you never to worry anyway.
There's never a good time financially to have children, people shouldn't have children because they can afford it, people should have children because they want children. Your worth infinitely increases with each child you have, even if your bank balance doesn't ๐

I agree that he does come out with utter drivel sometimes, but that's not all the time, nor everything he says.

in reply to MeaTLoTioN • •@MeaTLoTioN @Kenneth M Sweeney Heโs a walking coronary event who has driven away everyone who ever loved him and who could stage an intervention, and now represents everything he used to claim to hate.
Yes, he has a lot of money, but I expect he is utterly miserable.
He does not understand the point of life, and drifts further from it every day.

On the contrary, one does not amass such wealth without also becoming a total asswipe. Financial success requires killing one's own humanity
