I feel for the poor sods who get hit by that shrapnel
the PTSD of having half a pound of racist smug faced gammon flesh hitting you doesn't bare thinking about

still those seem like acceptable losses and we can offer counseling

I was refering to my own German not yours bob , lol
Mine is entirely through goth and metal music

only if your knowledge of German is not based entirely on this song and the back catalogue of Rammstein, with a smattering of tutonic goth

It is a cold war song for the cold war generation
putting a light spin on a dark and terrifying subject matter

A younger generation who did not live though the cold war, and never saw Threads on Tv may consider it trivial europop, in essence it is social commentary on a sociality sense of ennui

then flag it as a point to come back to, move on
You may have half a dozen such sentences, they may have a few as well and at that point it is negotiation over which to keep and which to change

or you could murder you co-author, though homicide as a solution tends to be messy

I mean doesn't everyone ?
not liking it would be odd

unless you are on your final draft , let it go for now
November 6, 2025 at 4:02 PM
you can
Not sure why you would given the English language is the most diverse in the world (due to its cavalier attitude towards the capture and enslavement of the nouns, verbs and infinitives of other languages),
you probably have better options

The Fimberwinter comes, and the howls of the wolflings can be heard on the wind...

so might need to turn on the central heating

ten words
don't try to write a thousand
don't try to write a hundred
just try to write ten words a day
They don't even have to be good words
but write ten words everyday
and a some point you will write an eleventh

this was advice given to me, that I now pass on to you
