  • Counterpoint. I once found about £80, handed it in to the police, got a receipt, a few weeks later got a call, no-one had claimed it, was allowed to come and claim it.

  • Same here, often 20+ tabs per client, and sometimes working for 6-8 clients at a time. Plus a tab of my own for music/social/news/sport.

  • That makes sense, but they wouldn't work so well with the adjective at the end of a sentence.

    Eg

    "Today feels very autumnal" 👍
    "Today feels very fall" 👎

    Not remotely important, I know, but I find stuff like this interesting.

  • As the Countess in Roman Holiday tells us, either way is correct :-)

  • Think it depends where you put the stress.

    I'd say "Ad VER tis ment"

    But if I was stressing the tis part, a "tize" sound would feel more natural.

    That's how I would say advertising, for example, "adver TIZE ing"

  • Re fall/autumn - is there a US equivalent for the work autumnal? Falllike doesn't seem quite right, nor fallish, nor fallumnal.

  • Is that the one about the monkey in the tree? I remember absolutely cracking up at that.

  • A friend and I once tried to do Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys. 2 people, neither of whom are a rapper, attempting to overlap on a fast-paced song written for 3 was an interesting approach...

  • Thanks, yeah, I was looking at that earlier. Very cool idea, and looks pretty well put together.

  • Yeah, I saw that with the keyboard, that's super slick. I'm not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, I'd definitely be tempted! Thanks for the info on stability 👍

  • That looks so unstable, with just that small back rest holding the whole thing up. I'm sure it's better than it looks, but wow.

  • I think it also has something to do with believing that the monarch should or shouldn't be head of the Church of England. But yeah, pro-establishment, definitely.

  • Off the top of my head without too much thought...

    Fight the Power - Public Enemy
    Know Your Enemy - RATM
    Nazi Punks Fuck Off - Dead Kennedys
    Strange Fruit - Nina Simone
    Making Flippy Floppy - Talking Heads (just for the line, "Our President's crazy, did you hear what he said?")
    Dark and Long (Dark Train) - Underworld (no political message, but it's long, and I love it and pretty sure he'd hate it)

    EDIT: Made it as a playlist - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3fGtqYEgExxbXEvFj0usvDdhxgpFp3Uc

  • Was she Karving her initials on the møøse with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush?

  • Respect to these thieves for honoring their word btw

    I mean, not really though - what they did was awful and will likely scar those people for life.

    Ok, they didn't kill them, but they don't deserve any respect either.

  • Well, that's what I heard!
