I know this is in large part due to less drinking by younger generations, but I do wonder what impact GLP-1 drugs will have on this. One of the first things I noticed on WeGovy was less interest in drinking.

Was on Paris to London yesterday and didn’t use wifi. 4G was really strong in France. It was non-existent once back in the UK.

Do you drink tea when you have a cold/flu lurgy? One of the first signs I’m getting ill is waking up in the morning and not wanting a cup of tea. One of the first signs I’m better is waking up and wanting one.

I feel bad for people who speak multiple gendered languages. Assumed when I started learning German at school that it would be easier because I already know the genders of objects. Surely they’re the same across languages right? Lol no.

Glad I’m not the only one!
Found myself doing the accent thing at Gare du Nord trying to get metro tickets on Saturday. They’ve got this new Navigo thing and you can’t buy individual paper tickets anymore. Didn’t want to seem dumb so put on my slight English accent to ask for my tickets.

I once had to talk about open source software in a work meeting with a french client. Didn’t know the French for “open source” so described it as best I could in French. They then said “ah ouais, le open source”. Of course.
