Legal stuff. Wind farms. Biotech. Sometimes agriculture.
Yeah, right.

A friend of mine is from New Jersey, Italian family, and she recounted how the feds turned up to her grandfather's funeral to make notes of who else was there.

Once a younger brother, always a younger brother.

My sister has Italian citizenship.

100% I say "brushetta" and "fock-ay-sia" just to wind her up (which it does, so satisfyingly)

Even I draw the line at "expresso"

Could have been "a non-trans hoe"...

Hoes gotta be specific these days.

Oh god. Got flashbacks now 20 years to when every mediocre boozer decided to become a gastropub* with ubiquitous bloody lamb shanks (out of a vacuum pack from the back of a Brakes Bros truck)

(*Gastropub = "pub" + "gastroenteritis")

The actual customers here could be "any fule who has watched Grand Designs"

I saw them at Ynot Festival in the summer and they were...ok. TBH I don't think the format really suited a festival stage.

Glad I decided to go to this though as they were really entertaining on their own terms.

Because this way it has made it all across social media for free for a few hours on a Monday.

Advertised as a "death sale derelict plot" no one would have blinked.

Wishing that they still had the heritage Ju-52 now.

It's a double plot that is for flattening and rebuilding. Nearby 3 beds (of which you could fit 2 on this site) sold this year for £1.5m so even at a price of "premium finishes" you could build and sell for profit. Still, I do hope the Honda Jazz is included.

Forum moderators also know who you are - and so they at least now have juicy gossip about you too.

I like the way that if he looks ahead whilst frying he can imagine being Lawrence of Arabia with a view of a wadi.

In about 70 years there will be a history podcast where they analyse why nothing was done, despite it being manifestly obvious at the time.

You say that like I wasn't already spending my time like some fromage pervert anyway.

Dammit. I know just the person for him, but she's part Ivory coast/Italian/Indian/Iranian/Irish.

I get those ads without the conversations. I think that it is the time of year for marketing campaigns so the thing that drove you to discuss leaflets may be more of what drive them to advertise at the same time.

Bigger question arises: is marketing a seasonal biological imperative?
