Nice one, friend.
Nothing but respect for marathon runners. My running journey topped off at a half-marathon, and I know from friends and colleagues that going for the full marathon isn’t just “double the training and distance”, it’s far more involved than that
Good luck, remember to rest, and let us know when you nail the 26.2!
Quality.
In my experience as a substandard French speaker, the French outside of Paris (particularly in the north) will switch to English if you are positively stuck and not even a beginner at French.
However, if they get an inkling that you can or are leaning to speak la langue, then you better think fast because they will absolutely let you sink and make you dig yourself out of a problem. It’s not outright shithousery, it’s just tough love and I’m absolutely all for it.
Thank you for staying in touch! I’ve yet to try your suggestion yet, though I sent my fantastic other half to get some wax from a local heath foods store so it’s on my list.
At the moment, I’ve learned to ease flare-ups by pressing inwards on the tooth, holding it there for a minute or two, and taking a few open mouth breaths to even out the temperature, and the pain seems to go away for a bit!
I’ll let you know if I have to break out the bumbley boi cure!
Depends what part of France, really.
Paris: probably yes, but fuck you.
Rest of France: probably yes, but fuck you - though we’ll speak it if your French is positively offensive.
That millennium bug sticker is a banger.
You have no idea how tempting that is. Is the medicinal whiskey included?
Yeah alright cheers bruv, how was yours?
I say that, two thirds of it was alright. The other eight hours of a day gets taken up by toothache. Apparently there’s a hole in a filling that needs cleaned, filled (giggity), and a crown on top. The bill is going to come in at three ton too which will be absolutely delightful.
Honestly, I’m thinking of paying Anthony Joshua to spark me out by landing a very specific punch on my chops to save me waiting.
Other than that, yeah I’m off work on a few weeks off this time next week, so my head’s already checked out. I’m going to turn up, do the bare minimum, fuck off any new projects, and enjoy the run down I think.
That damned abominable snowman is going to get a nasty surprise at two thousand metres…
I’m just chuckling at the thought of a USB-to-CCS converter.
no but this boi can
“for fuck’s sake Baphomet, can you stop putting candles on the fucking carpet in the shape of a pentagram? I’m all for your beliefs and rituals, but I’m also all for getting my fucking deposit back”
nah, Wireless Application Protocol - a way of serving web pages that was very similar to the HyperCard technology of the time.
Ah, the memories of checking football scores on a Nokia 3330 in school playgrounds…
SMS messages, you can’t (without two same apps with extensions).
RCS messages, you can.
These days, SMS and RCS messaging just come under the banner of “text messaging”. It’s pretty handy to be fair, blows MMS out of the water anyway.
Absolutely. Certain things you can see from space, but those IBM keyboards you can hear from space. ❤️
get yo hooves out of the way, that keyboard looks awesome!
Hey this looks brilliant actually. Like Dear Esther in hell. Nice.
banging joke, 9/10, B++++
