yes, I immediately thought of Poland (multiple times), Czechoslovakia and Romania (or was it Hungary? still the argument stands). It's hateful. Trump is facilitating the bullying of Ukraine into an effective capitulation.

I sympathise. I know it's no great European adventure, but it reminds me of wintry weather here in Scotland.

And why are bus shelters all one-sided these days? 🤷‍♂️

I've always thought that there are a great many things we cast into a particular form just to explain them. So they do likely exist, but not as we have ever imagined them (sorry guys!). Much like Christopher says, anthropomorphisation plays a very guilty role here. We do it even with God the Father!

Grace is brave. I'm 6'3, so I find coaches very uncomfortable. The depth of the seat space is less than the distance from my butt to my knee.

I once found a journey down to London so painful that I paid for sameday train ticket back. Of course the train caught fire at Alexandra Palace didn't it!? 🔥

That anti-semitism was de rigeur in many parts of Europe at the material times goes a long way to explain why Jew-hating (distinct from the later Holocaust) was tolerated by the hoi polloi for so long.

Absolutely perspicacious. Vance needs to brush up on his logic methinks. (He's not always bad, I guess; but, when it comes to Christian doctrine he's shown himself to be dumb.) Thank you!

realistically, they wouldn't know proper news (nor how to write it) if it were delivered by a wet kipper being slapped about their snouts.

what would the denominational equivalent be of I like the fries from Burger King but can't stand them from McDonalds? (too floppy)
