Isn’t it more an issue that Europeans don’t grasp how reliant Americans are on the motor car to get around?

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Post basketball spread definitely better in Parma than Edinburgh.

Topped out as a senior lecturer at London Met and published nothing of note at the point of his elevation to the HOLs. Just bizarre.

It reads like he has just discovered the comma.

β€˜On the things you made’ is kind of ironic given the β€˜collective effort’ involved stealing a lot of IP. Ah, how cosy it all sounds….

It reads like a very, very boring motivational poster. It’s just missing an image of a very large data centre.

I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about. I made a mistake on social media at 4am. What have republicans to do with this? I’m not sure what your point is? Am a republican? Am I racist?

TBF I sent the reply at 4am. Not sure what the British flag or reference to republicans refers to?

He appears to spend a lot of time doing driver’s ed on the perils of drunk driving, what more can he do?

He didn’t kill anyone. Although, the thread start strangely infers he killed her friend.

He didn’t kill anyone. The thread state infers he did, though

He didn’t kill anyone according to the linked report.

No one was killed as far as I can work out. The post starter appears to be trying to link the tragic death of her friend to an entirely different person and accident.

I’m sorry for your loss but your post infers this person killed your friend, which the article does not mention, which is a major omission?

β€˜Policies to boost growth’. Why has no one thought of that before?

Imagine, if he was only one of the political strategists in the country they might not be topping double figures in current polls.

Maybe telling my son to β€˜smash the opposition’ during his basketball match wasn’t a great idea….
