When you are an asshole and an idiot at the same time and get treated like one - don’t be that surprised, Liz. The Lettuce was your boss level monster, and you lost. And now it made you run away from reality again.

All I can say is Go, Lettuce Go!

On the other hand, whenever you hear or see a headline of “(dog) attacked and maimed (someone)”, the (dog) usually comes from a small select group of dog races. Or did you ever hear “Poodle killed baby”?

Yes, the main problem is the owners. But certain owners attract certain kinds of dog races, and it is not always a smart or healthy match.

I got two tickets from them despite my car being clean, and had to fight TfLs minions with a lawyer for half a year.

That’s normal, he is a Tory, after all.

Well, yes indeed!

North East Lincolnshire, our twinned city.

OK, one thing I can tell you is that “baked beans with curry powder” is 100% NOT genuine for a German Christnas market.

Wenn Du Deutsch üben willst, dann lass uns anfangen…

I’ve never been to a “German Christmas Market” in the UK, but I’ll be there in December, so if you can point me to one round NEL, I could check how much “German” is there.

I had a “German Bratwurst” in the UK once. The Bratwurst was OK, but the roll was a soft roll, which would be a no-go in Germany, I assume the “German Christmas Market” is similar, trying to copy, and getting it right up to a certain level.

The real UK pro-death sqad is the DWP.

For what? He does not have the necessary smarts for a good news source or commentary, nor has he the looks for TV.

Tories: “No, it frees money to further reduce the taxation on the rich!”

We have a company like that here somewhere. When they have one job a year, they have to reduce hours, if they have two, they are doing OK, and if they have three, they have to work overtime like mad. Don’t ask me what they are selling, though. It is big, runs on tracks, and fixes roads.

While it is a waste, it is necessary not to let things like that slip. They built something they did not have a permission for, as simple as that. Just like when you decide to expand your home with an annex without a permit.

They got permission to build a house based on plans A, and actually built a house based on plans B. And by the looks of it, we are not talking about the building being 5cm to wide in one direction (which had led to a tear down order here in one case), but quite a number of massive violations.

Well, they had a good plan that they got permission for to build. It is not the council’s fault that they actually built something else.

Thanks!

Thank you!

No, I’m not going to announce them ;-) But maybe, if we have a conversation going, I am going to ask him what he thinks about “His Worship”.

So it is just “Mr. Mayor Lindney”, which is fine with me.

I recommend “oi cunt”.

Nice try. I’ll reserve this for after the meeting, or at least when I got a good (or more precisely bad) enough impression of them :-)

Seriously though, mayors and councillors aren’t really high enough in the pecking order to have special terms in the UK

Ah, OK. That could be the reason why I found nothing so far. I was just cautious, as British officials seem to be peculiar when it comes to ranks and titles. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks!

Even worse: I see no reason for the EU to even think about starting a re-negotiation. It makes no sense for them.

Be happy that your public TV is not only way above international standards, but also much cheaper. I actually would not mind to pay that in order to watch BBC.
