@jilltowers I tried “pasha” first before getting the correct word. Wordle Bot acknowledged that it was “a valid guess”, and praised my vocabulary, but “added that “Wordle normally uses more common words”. How on earth was today’s answer a “common” word? (Sigh!)
@Zaira583642 The photo may be AI - a pity if the poster wasn’t being honest with us - but my friends and I were wearing boots and mini skirts like this in 1968.
@deacon_dympna@sophiegrenham It means “I’m embarrassed for you”, in the sense of the person saying it is blushing red on your behalf (second hand embarrassment).
@JeremyWingert79 Maybe try some Edith Nesbit books, classics such as “The Railway Children”, “Five Children and It”, “The Wouldbegoods”, or “The Story of the Treasure Seekers”?
@bigio_m @JoyceCarolOates I understand that you hold that view but please remember that Twitter is over-populated with Bots who are trying to sow division. We have never been an anti-Semitic country.
@bigio_m @JoyceCarolOates With respect, we never supported the nazis. E.g. a large number of Irish joined the British army; crashed allied airmen were quietly released while axis airmen were interned; and we allowed the secret “Donegal Corridor” to help allied aircraft during the Battle of the Atlantic.
@MicheleEngel3@JoyceCarolOates That is not correct, Michele. I live in Ireland. Emigration was certainly a problem in the past when we couldn’t provide jobs but we have full employment now.
@kom_racing When I was young a bar of Dairy Milk cost 6d (six old pence, which was 1/40th of a £ sterling). So basically just a few cents in today’s money.
