Hi @johnlewisretail I bought a mobile phone from you because I trusted you would not mess customers around (like other retailers). But here I am having paid ยฃ10 for specific delivery today and no phone!
@SandyofCthulhu@Sargon_of_Akkad What's sad is how US people live lives that - in comparison with the UK (and Europe) - are shorter, more unhealthy, with hardly any work time off and the threat of your children being shot. But sure, yeah, sit at home with your gun and count your money.
@SandyofCthulhu In that case, I don't think you know what "cogently" means. The US insults almost everyone and then begs for help with a mess entirely of its own making. Boo hoo!
@JimElliott95607@LeahLibresco@MartinSkold2 Yes, this is standard practice at many UK universities now. PhDs (ideally those more experienced) routinely take seminars. Sometimes you get the chance to lecture. It's good practice and CV boosting. And senior staff get more time for research (in theory).
@RevaeRavus@SandyofCthulhu To be fair, our obesity rates are growing amongst children (unfortunately). I guess it's not all about fast food ๐คทโโ๏ธ
@SandyofCthulhu We had the same problems in England in the past (like up until the 1940s). But then, like most European countries, we moved on to a system that was partly state-supported. I like my Dr and I can keep them (or swap to one nearby if I don't). You guys need to move on!
@SandyofCthulhu@250YearsAgoLive Once again Sandy, no. Likely one of the Royal Dukes. Really, you should have finished high school (or more simply, learn to check a fact, before embarrassing yourself).
@SandyofCthulhu Only someone who doesn't read much (or at all) would confuse reading a book - especially one which is engaging - as passive, compared to a video game!
@SandyofCthulhu Love how americans judge restaurant food. I've visited and toured many times, and its always the same poor quality meat and vegetables, bread with no taste and a *ton* of spices to cover it up.
@SandyofCthulhu This is why fantasy games like D&D (and I guess some of the new old-school variations) are better - easier to run long campaigns. The opposite of horror games like Call of Cthulhu and Trail etc..
@SandyofCthulhu I reckon any sustained and serious opponent, and the US forces would fold in a few days. Don't get me wrong, you're good at kidnapping politicians in the middle of the night, and blowing up speedboats...
@SandyofCthulhu Awww. Are Americans still moaning about the Second World War? You have fought in plenty of others since; e.g. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan. To be fair, some mixed results (and never against a serious military)
