I survived drinking this one night: 5 pints of strong lager, 8 of those vodka orange juice alco pops, 6 double vodka redbulls and then downed an entire pint of neat vodka.

If your toaster can't fit a slice of Warburton' Toastie comfortably, then the CEO of the toaster company gets toasted to death at the stake.

One heck of a guess. Well done.

Thanks

The question was specifically about my experience, not anyone else's. I'm also not from the US, when you grow up you might realise that the internet is a global system.

I was also lucky enough to not be born in a 3rd world hell hole where terms like "medical debt" exist. I have to pay parking when I go to the hospital.

Or are you thinking all capitalist countries are the same?

I get to work a job I like for an above average salary because I put the effort in. I get to lead a comfortable life. It's actually pretty great.

I still call them Opel Fruits

You might be able to buy some land, build a playground and maintain it for a few years in a deprived neighbourhood. If you have money left over, do it again somewhere else.

The past 10 years has been dominated by female solo singers

The only sport that is a predominantly physical exercise (so excluding things like snooker, darts, archery etc) where women could compete competitively against men at an equivilent level in their sport (league 1 men vs league 1 women) would be ultra marathons. Most other sports is so mis-matched you'd end up with some random amateur bloke against an elite woman.

Basically if you've gone through male puberty you are vastly different physically from someone who hasn't.

Not only do the band know about this practice they will have absolutely approved its use. So direct some of your scorn to Oasis and not just Ticketmaster.

I know, I watched it all.

The fact that American English doesn't have the word 'fortnightly' is incredibly confusing on every level.

You should watch it and find out for yourself.

On a tangentially related note, this documentary series from BBC4 is a fascinating insight into the decision making process the US went through over dealing with foreign mass atrocities over the past 40 years: Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, Syria etc.

Warning: they do not hold back with the imagery of these events.

Corridors of Power: Should America Police the World?

Last year I went from a 10 year old Nikon D7100 with 17-55 f/2.8 to a Nikon Z6 with 24-70 f/4 and holy moly there is an insane difference in quality. I was absolutely blown away. If you can afford it I highly recommend getting something newer. It really breathed fresh air in to my photography and got me excited that I can get really sharp photos, even at high ISOs with good tracking.

Then in a few years you'll be gassing for those 3k lenses a 5k camera and a carbon fibre tripod, a few flashguns etc.

This, but in big friendly letters.
