In fairness, the full answer is also inexplicable Poetry
Why is kissing called making out? I mean, what is being made? I’m just curious. kissing is not making out kissing is kissing yes kissing is a term of endearment just like a hug is a term of endearment. you kiss or hug grandma or daddy or brother. Now the term of making out. what are you making? you are making horny. you do things to make you and her horny. She does a little and you do a little to get good feelings happening. the more you do the more you want to do to get those good feelings going. This can lead to romance.What is romance? this what nice people call intercourse. Making love is not romance Making love again is nice people talk for intercourse. Romancing is showing affection example holding hands putting your arm around someone. Even rubbing their bottom is miss though of it can be just showing endearment. yes a gentle rubbing of the bottom can just be saying I like you. but doing it all the time is saying I want intercourse Rubbing there bottom in a firm manner as to squease is I want sex. Things depend on what feelings come from the other person doing what they do.

a truly cursed nation
“Burning Down the House” became Talking Heads' highest charting single in North America. It peaked at #9 on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as #8 in Canada. However, it failed to chart outside of North America. It didn’t appear in the UK Singles Chart at all until Tom Jones and The Cardigans covered it and made it a Top 10 hit in 1999.

For those keeping tabs, this is the first sturdy wench we've encountered so far
For almost eight years the small tavern we have just been describing had been kept by a man and his wife, with two servants, one a strong, sturdy wench, answering to the name of Trinette, was chambermaid, while the other, a shock-headed country lad, named Pacaud,

all the jury comments are like this, and it's strange, like they've not read the article properly. he's just wanting some home comforts, he's not trying to fucking build a museum to old blighty in his back yard
Jenna’s idea of Barcelona feels curated, almost costume-like, but Dave actively rejects adapting. He’s turned living abroad into simply exporting his everyday habits, closing himself off to the culture around him. Living in another country is about expanding your horizons, not taking your familiar comforts with you. Daniel, 45

This seems fine to me, and if she really cares she could go and get some actual furnishings that she likes instead of making me have to read about it and appreciably making my day worse.
I think home comforts are important when you’re abroad. They make you feel grounded in your new space. I’m probably more of a homebody than Jenna, but I’m up for travelling and living abroad, too. Jenna says my behaviour is a bit weird and that I’m not being “present” in our new home, but for me it’s about finding a balance and merging the old and the new.

If I side with anyone, it's gonna be him, but Christ this is a fucking slog
Our clashing styles were never an issue back home, but here she wants the tatty old furniture to be visible to “let the Spanish vibe shine through”. What Spanish vibe? It’s all tatty stuff that doesn’t represent Barcelona, but Jenna acts as if we are going to offend the locals. I don’t care about impressing the tourist police – it’s our home.

Blankets? In Spain? You coloniser!!
When it comes to decorating the flat, I take the lead as I am the shopper out of us two. I bought blankets to add warmth and it’s my way of nesting. Jenna reacted as if I’d brought home a bunch of rags.

I'm sorry but I hate the both of you
It was her idea to do hybrid living. We’re Irish but live in London, so we both have EU passports – we can just sublet our flat and off we go. She says we are not setting up a life abroad, just living away for six months, but six months is half the year, not a weekend away. Sometimes she forgets to bring essentials like socks, an iPhone charger or a decent jacket, and I have to try not to say, “I told you so.”

the sun will one day expand and consume the earth
I like to feel at home when I’m away. I bring everything but the kitchen sink. I want my slippers, my favourite tea, my Mini Cheddars. Jenna, however, treats it like she’s a backpacker who must keep everything light.

So they basically agree, but he also likes home comforts. What are we doing here? Get the hell out of this column and reserve it for some people who genuinely do something deranged please
I jokingly call her a snob, but I see her point. You should embrace the local culture when you travel. But people should be able to enjoy themselves however they like. Not everyone wants to spend their mornings deciphering a Catalan menu.

get her ass
Jenna is one of those well-travelled people who likes to tell everyone else how to enjoy their trips. She can’t believe there are British cafes in Spain that serve a full English, and her mouth drops when she sees British people eating sausage and chips here.

DO YOU THINK THE SPANISH DON'T HAVE BLANKETS OR SOMETHING? WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT?
We’re not in Barcelona to replicate our lives in London. He needs to stop trying to make our old tastes fit in here.

She makes it sound like she can't do anything about this. Also if he was actually like this, he wouldn't be in Spain with you. Christ I hate these people.
We’ve been together nine years and he’s always been like this. I find it quite funny, but I also don’t like him taking up packing space with teabags and crisps. Dave needs to branch out and try the local delicacies. The blankets he’s draped over our furniture and the British foods he’s brought have made me believe he needs to be more open-minded.
