Volkswagen's best selling item is not a car, but its sausages. VW has produced its own currywurst since 1973. The bockwurst is listed as a Volkswagen original part with its own part number (199 398 500 A).

Yasmin's chief thing was believing she wasn't allowed to sit on tables, but only on things that were on tables. Such as chocolate.

It's a shame she probably won't read this comment, because it should sting.

The Court of Justice has found, for the first time, that a Member State (Hungary) is in breach of Article 2 TEU (values of the EU) as a standalone provision. curia.europa.eu/site/upload/...

🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈⚖️🇭🇺 A legal earthquake - CJEU finds Hungary to have violated EU law on multiple counts with its anti-LGBT+ legislation (as expected) but also for the first time in history, in an EU law-reshaping precedent, finds Hungary to violate Art 2 TEU in a self-standing manner.

'quote the book of Job' and 'use outwith', but that was the one I failed on, when I decided to delete a whole section.

I don't have an exact duplicate but the likes of Researchgate are always asking me if I want papers by E(dward P) Wolfers to be attributed to me. I had 'cite a paper by E Wolfers' on the list of things I wanted to sneak into my thesis, along with 'use judgment and judgement in the same sentence'

I've never tried a chilli leaf, but I presume that they partake of the Reaper's Scovilles?

I'd believe the latter. I've just been moving the DVD collection and realised that the MCU can go.

Google confirms. One of the Dutch teachers got so excited that he started to yell colourful-sounding advice, and Dutch-speaking Fabian Wilnis actually flinched and looked up.

The Comenius programme, which *is* aimed at primary schools, is part of the Erasmus+ scheme. I was a parent helper at some of their events in the early 2000s, including accompanying a bunch of visiting Dutch and Slovene children to see Ipswich play (maybe Nottingham Forest?). Mind control!

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.”

Baroness Hale says it plainly.

Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures.

When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

Democrats would be wise to start telling us that the next President will not be able to wave a wand and fix things in 4 yrs.
State clearly we will need decades to fix the damage and first priority is to contain AND PROSECUTE the perpetrators, every single one. But do not promise the Rubes a miracle

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason

Incidentally, it sounded so much like a double-decker bus that whole bus queues would step forward when they heard it approach, then look puzzled when they saw it. It was converted back to its proper engine and into an open tourer by its next owner and is still registered.
