It's a women's weapon except for all those men that used poison as well

Is this the guy who poisoned women by getting them to swallow stuff on the street and one victim was written off as dying from over consumption of alcohol until he mentioned her in a letter to the police.

Idea for a playlist: Homer Simpsons taste in music. All the songs that classic era Homer Simpson likes.

Don't know about goats but I do know that donkeys get lonely so you need to put another animal in the field with them.

He'll still be blaming the alcohol fumes then that was one of the arguments against women working in bars. Obviously it was also stated that it therefore destroyed women's fertility and milk

But even for men working it was considered like going down the coal mine

And softs. Ginger beer (with no beer) or Raspberry Lemonade.

Look out for Fentimans, Belvoir or Fever Tree. These are all called posh softs (,soft drinks) here.

Actually one other thing that surprises the US is we can handle our drink. Honestly, our drinking culture is stronger. But just bow out and don't let them buy for you because they'll always get you a 250ml glass when you want a 175ml glass

And we use cunt in the same way as fuck or sod

I'll say this: casual swearing is something to get used to. It's used in the same way people use errrr or ummm. We don't notice it.

It's not cold you have to deal with, it's the damp. Which makes things feel colder

It was awful because they wouldn't take "that's too close" for an answer. Especially as it was always done by someone who had no sense of personal space.

I'd get rid of the handshake too.

I prefer a mild respectful bow with a nod. I probably need to go live in Japan

The real solution to the trolley problem is to shoot the driver and therefore activate the Dead Man's Handle.

Runaway trolley is a *deliberate* act people

Went to Osbourne House, it's full of muddy brown paintings of places Victoria went to, highland scenes, dog paintings, china cabinets and images of the bairns at various ages and on their wedding day.

It was like visiting your Granny's. Your fabulously rich Granny's
