Or just talking yourself into a corner where the only word that can save you is not in the right language.

Came here to suggest this ep, brilliant as always

Fully agree, I much prefer Amber to Lewis from a personality pov! The first few weeks he seemed to expect such high scores and not react very graciously. It's weird isn't it?

Sounds like she's saying she's had enough

You can change your home country somewhere in the settings, only once per year but still helpful if a long term move. I ended making a new account linked to the second country I spend time in so I could download bank apps etc

And I don't understand why they don't communicate the fact that they are doing this and it's already starting to have positive effects. And then just do it more. Before starting with this confiscate jewelry madness

It really lifts a weight, that's for sure. Worth the investment whoever ends up paying

We went through this in our flat a couple of years ago. After the second water leak we bit the bullet and paid for it all to be done in 'apparent' but at least no more leaks. Bonkers that every single time we had to argue with insurance when it is such a known problem

Oh and it's usually same day results so v fast as well

It does work really well. The flip side is that you have to do it, so if you can't for whatever reason, there doesn't seem to be any follow up. I did like the UK system if sending you a letter for your appointment, having it organised for you.

I like the French system where they have little local labs all over the place, so you get your prescription for blood work, scans, x-ray, etc, then walk over and get it done there (online booking for scans). They interpret results, send to GP who follows up if needed.

Also your brother has good taste 😅

Oh wow. Mind blown. I've always been more of a non fiction reader as an adult, I never even made a connection with my magazine choice as a kid. Of course! It's so obvious!

I used to get a history one, and after that an aeroplane one. Oh how I loved them as a teen.

It's the only way

I was actually quite impressed by how nonchalant he was considering everyone else was wearing a cossie. FKK swagger 😂

Although I suspect my husband would have done the same in similar circs 😅

Yes we are FKK but I still have some British sensibility for appropriateness

Flashback to horrendous team building exercise where one colleague turned up to the sauna in the nude. No issue with naturism, just not the guy I get to look at across the desk every day

Glad I'm not the only one over here pronouncing segue 'seeg'. Why wouldn't you?! (I discovered the correct pronunciation at 45 in front of all of my colleagues)

Well mostly pisses me off that the pharmacies have such a monopoly on this kind of basic drug that I can pick up in Sainsbo for 20p in the UK

Costs everyone unnecessarily

Pharmacie was incredulous I wanted to buy my own doliprane the other day

"but the Dr can prescribe it for you!" it's less than a fiver, do we really need to be the Secu reimburse us for occasional headaches?
