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.
Two and a half - I answered 'Tammy something'.
“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.
Is it still suffering committee lag? I haven't been keeping up.
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
But a surprisingly earnest and meticulous pain in the arse, at the judicial and civil-servant level.
Dusty?
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

Gibbs Aquada - New Zealand's amphibious car. It is metallic turquoise on top and white below, with smart white upholstery. This model is in MOTAT in Auckland - the Museum of Transport and Technology.
I've just come back from a week in Scotland. This, or an Amphicar.

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.
I can only suspect the same of my husband.
Wow
For some reason that has sent me in search of a mountainous analogy around false summits (not that kind of summit). I can think of several political things that are false salients.
A black Bentley shooting brake, with a young woman carrying a toddler standing beside it.
Sliding off the back seat of this (a 1931 Bentley shooting brake that had been converted to diesel during WW2) whenever my father braked sharply. I actually enjoyed landing on the car floor.
I'm currently in Scotland. They grumble, but the roads in Perthshire - hammered by timber lorries, deluged with rain and frozen every night in winter - are better cared for than those in Cambridge and South Cambs.
John Mortimer?
OH calls it the Joke
Good grief.
Been woken by husband searching for his migraine meds, so sending hugs.
Good heavens, am I?
In Bruges scene where Colin Farrell is pointing a gun at his head and Brendon Gleeson is also pointing a gun at Colin Farrell's head
Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
Perhaps one could fit the argument better into a civil law system but it is an almost complete misunderstanding of common law.
My husband's roasted rhubarb cake too.
A message from Tuna Acisu asking for help maintaining cherry blossom record in Kyoto Japan.
A figure showing the cherry tree record since 812 from world in data.
A 1200+ year climate record is at risk. Do you know know anyone in Japan who could help? See below.
Mine's 2,750. Even husband's estate is only 3,230.
In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
Mine discouraged me from reading Enid Blyton and, only slightly later, Agatha Christie, on grounds of racism, which at the time I felt was unjust. They did allow me to watch satirical programmes on television and, similarly, listen to Tom Lehrer.
