This is an interesting article that suggests a trend, but 40% still think the economy is ok is very concerning.

Opera was originally art for the masses. I get the thing about everyone thinking its elitest but i was brought up by 2 generations of working class people who loved opera and classical music. Worked at the Derby Playhouse, its just elitist because its in movies and stuff a lot

You can say exactly the same about any music

Classical music is like any music, some of it is uplifting and beautiful and some doesnt do it for me, maybe you should try it though and see for yourself

I feel sorry for offshore collegues in a third party we use, the ydeal with terrible working conditions, huge commutes, very noisy offices, and yeah long working hours. Working from home was great for them imo and now rescinded so we have to try and hear them over all their shouty collegues

I am genuinely shocked if we got something we didnt expect, that just means half our diplomats and politicians dont watch the news

We tried this every year up until 1963 and it didnt work

This sort of thing is going to create generational hate for america around the world in places that are former allies, even assuming the retards ever leave office

Fucking hell

She spends a good amout of time watching the world go by up there. When we took this someone was coming down the drive, this was the split second before she started barking like a mad thing. She is a literal example of life lived in the moment. Our small dog is the planner

No he knows just a little how ukrainian parents feel every day

Consider brexit, an idea so dumb in every way every way, and yet it happened. Many journalists pointed out how russian influence and social media formed peoples votes, how it brought out the worst side in many of my countrymen, how many regretted it almost immediately. Turns out its really easy to get stupid people to hate things.

One of my favourite books, sure the water divining bit is a bit wierd, rest of the book is great, i liked the characters, its of its age since nuclear war was an immense threat when it was published. At the time it was a fantastic first contact novel and many things it mentions turn up in other books later. The bit about our future selves being incomprehensible was the point.

As they said after brexit, you won, get over it

UK, we are the butt of many a joke and several post here talking about our traditional fast food. I will submit that a well cooked roast dinner is the equal of any other national dish, for me its either pork shoulder, skow cooked, or chicken, with parsnips, leeks in cheese, carrots, peas and maybe bread sauce, along with those roast potatoes, crunchy in the outside, soft and milky on the inside, just the right amount of salty crunch with the star of the show, a rich gravy. Even without the meat this would still be an incredible tasty plate of food.

Or, just a simple sandwich, good quality thick bacon on fresh white sliced bread, a little ketchup, buttered, its really hard to beat as a treat. British bacon is unlike bacon elsewhere

French stepped in already, officially, my solid guess is my government has their back as well
