I guess a big sponser coming in is great overall for the women’s peloton

And more hormonal. Testosterone coursing through our blood making us raging maniacs on a daily basis

Avon till I die! Wait what’s that it’s Bristol unitary authority and BANES (bath and north east Somerset) now

I’ve been using Irish Isles. Which is sooo confusing to some bristish people

I’m hoping NW Euro Archipelago catches on!

I imagine mostly would be higher than uk as the GAA by county keeps a reason for people to care. Have always wondered why there was such affinity to a British imposed system of divisions

Construction of a bunker in a garden, but there’s a weird but when a wooden frame appears and the disappears. This is a frame from the video showing impossible Escher-esque bits of wood that don’t make sense

Yeah unless their architect was Escher

But he’s “extremely angry” and he “feels very poor” now he has to pay for that

IMO better to be a good person who gets duped once in a while than constantly on your guard

It’s one sandwich Darragh, what could it cost? €2 million?

Former racing cyclists Valentin Huot, Alfred Letourneur and Léo Véron check out a motor-paced bicycle in Paris, 1956

This was my overriding impression of the Han/minority relationship during my time in China. Though the Borg did at least add other’s cultural distinctiveness to their own

We are the zhonghua minzu, you will be assimilated, resistance is futile

I had assumed your second point was the reason. But I don’t know Turkish politics, does the government there have much incentive to highlight the utility of NATO?

There are anti Dubai influencers? Hmmm I guess I only use bluesky so I wouldn’t know. If influencers are crowding out your source of news maybe you should put down tik tok

That’s the one

Yeah surely it was 1942 before they joined the European theatre? Hitler had been an imminent threat to the world for some time

Might have to watch this

Are they weird?

Sorry that was snarky for no good reason

I just looked up Marina and Richard, assuming they were academics who had some theory that made this make sense. But they’re very much not, and this very much does not make sense

That’s a confusing choice of word. I’m guessing it’s whatever you call a typo when you use a word that means the opposite of what you wanted it to

Oh they have them. Also all signs are in Welsh as well as English throughout the country - not just in the Gaeltacht as in Ireland. Also voice announcements at train station’s for example. So it’s Ireland that needs to copy the Welsh in native language promotion

They could try to make their websites actually readable

Her tactics are really improving. Great to see

The Telegraph is Telegraphing

Depressing that all the money they spend on sports-washing and culture-washing (is that the term?) actually works

That’s lucky or it would drive you crazy in your job

Oh my real hang up is Data not being a plural but a collective noun. I know the singular is datum, but that’s Latin, and those rules don’t apply to English

Can a proper noun be a collective noun as well? Genuine question
