@alexanhellberg @svardshymn @pixieprincess99 @JacobTamburro @Miko105621411 @fasc1nate It's the indefinite article.

@BowTiedMANN @fasc1nate I think it means cross out 1. Then the value is zero.

@ElectricsByLee Yeah not for me

@mitchellsnik Okay, that's fine. But I'd rather you didn't come into my house and spend the rest of your life bouncing around the inside of my lamp inciting my cat. It would be better for all concerned if you left the premises...

@Natashacocozza_ We had a registrar come to us after multiple attempts to get a GP. Also a paramedic.

@Bodysatnav 'X'ing someone sounds like something completely different.

@gay_lumberjack I thought History A-level courses were heavily female - like all Arts/Humanities courses. Certainly that was my experience taking A-Level history 30 years ago, and a Humanities degree more recently.

@spectator Where did he write that article? In an office? With noise and distractions all around him? I'm guessing not.

@BigAlKdy @sainsburys @beautifulnerdme It'll be some problem with Sainsbury's link to Visa and Mastercard.

@sleepdiplomat I'm reading Why We Sleep at the moment. So fascinating! A real incentive to try and catch 8 hours a night.

@Jordan54941136 @ClarkeMicah ...through deliberate Russian actions, it was arguably the worst affected.

Russia must withdraw, apologise and compensate.

[Ruth Daykin @RuthDaykin]

@Jordan54941136 @ClarkeMicah Soviet rapid industrialisation, agricultural collectivisation and persecution of 'kulaks' (who in reality included the very poor) were responsible for the artificial famines of the 1930s. Ukraine wasn't the only place affected but, with around 10% of the population murdered...

@Jordan54941136 @ClarkeMicah ...has absolutely no moral claim on Ukraine, and should if anything be apologising and compensating the Ukrainian people, not attacking and trying to subjugate them.

@Jordan54941136 @ClarkeMicah Some countries haven't committed to an official statement of it's being genocide (intentional mass murder of a people) , but it's absolutely beyond debate that the famine was caused by the brutal actions of the Soviet communists. Given that, it's clear that modern Russia 1/2
