Sails dinghies a bit.
You went to a selective school?

My education was much more comprehensive.

Measure the length of the extension cord.
How exactly are they planning to measure and collect this new “per mile” electric car tax?

This is the reason I rarely truly hate anyone.

I'm not a good person.
I just can't be arsed.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Well thanks everyone.

Reading all your stuff on here I didn't put a light under the beans

So now it's either undercooked beans or overdone pie.

Wall repair:

The secret here is to let the filler slightly go off, therefore making it more easier to create that sharp line & resist gravity by not sagging - being that it’s a repair with no support underneath. I used Tourpret Murex for its incredible strength. Finer fill to follow.

If we didn't have email, would you bother writing and posting a letter?
