The hard part isn’t cooking at home, assuming you can cook and the household eats the same - it’s eating out, eating with friends, visiting others. It always adds that extra layer of complexity to simple things, and regularly invites the same old conversations.

Not saying it’s impossible of course, but without some conviction to stick to it and be strong enough not to bow to peer pressure (which is really hard for most people), it’s difficult.

Rowing. Whole body, no impact 👌

Interesting, did not know this. Do you also have different licence classifications? One of the reasons I think manuals are common here in the UK (or atleast cheaper* cars tend to be manual) is because you have to pass your test in a manual to be able to drive a manual car - if you pass in an automatic you can only drive those, so naturally everyone’s first car is a manual so you’re not restricted later in life on what you can buy or rent, or if you just need to drive a friend’s car or something.

*Cheaper here means small hatchbacks. Once you get into the price range of more luxury cars the price difference between manual and automatic is either negligible or automatics become cheaper depending on the model.

It makes no difference, kids will be kids and if there is nothing to make fun out of your real name they’ll come up with nicknames until they find one you don’t like. Whatever it is they come up with, you just have to own it.

“Hey eye-key-ya shame you flat packed your chest” “Actually, it’s ih-kay-ya” swish hair and walk away

No, it’s 1.8, with a 32 degree offset

I know your pain friend. Worse still when you see the extra legroom seats were all given to 5 foot nothing grandmas

I can’t believe that that is all, after all 5 in 10 voted against leaving in the first place… Only 1 in 10 has changed their mind after the shit show that the last 7 years have been?

Welsh has a Vigesimal and Decimal counting system and both are used for different purposes. The decimal one is very logical eg ten, one ten one, one ten two, one ten three … two ten, two ten one etc etc

The Vigesimal system is different…

• Ten
• One on ten
• Two on ten
• Three on ten
• Four on ten
• Fifteen
• One on fifteen
• Two on fifteen
• Two nines
• Four on fifteen
• Twenty

Add to that that numbers can be gendered, mutate at the start or drop the end, or have alternate forms, all depending on a number of rules, or just randomly throw in an extra option eg 50 is “ten and two twenty” Vigesimal or “five ten” Decimal… but often you’d use “half hundred”…

My understanding is that this is surprisingly common, but has died out in many languages.

Don’t feed their entitlement, it’s better to just not mention them

Unless you just want some furry porn

The philosophical question of our age. Where with indeed.

I don’t speak Welsh fluently (though am taking classes), but am sending my kids to Welsh medium schools (ie classes are conducted in Welsh, not just learning Welsh as a second language). We were told by the head teacher that 80% of the kids there don’t have parents able to speak it at home, so does appear to be a growing trend. I assume the feeling is similar in Scotland and NI, if not as many schools teaching in those languages yet.

Give him time. You think the answer would be the same if they offered to pay for the data?
