Sometimes there are flares, but yes.
"We'd put holes in it. Unlike last time."
One of the minor tragedies of modern Britain is that electric bikes have become associated with drug dealers and phone thieves*, when they are really an ideal urban transport option for a lot of people.
*Or the ne'er-do-well of your choice.
There is hope for the world
The solution to a Squareword puzzle. One of the correct words is ARSES.
Well, I never expected to see such language in a word puzzle, especially one called Square Words.
My parents' solicitor was Mr. Titt. A friend of mine is a lawyer called Pratt. I dearly wanted them to go into partnership.
For a long time, I kept two old university text books simply because they put my laptop solidly at exactly the right height for meetings when working at home.
It's a great learning tool, but a bit pointless if you're already good at cryptics. I couple of years ago I was hopeless at cryptic crosswords after years of trying, and I have credit Minute Cryptic with getting me properly started on the path.
Place on the front row at the Cenotaph for men who never served in the military but reckon they would have been great at WW2.
The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Marie.
Flares and hair: apprentices at Bolton Painting Contractors, Horwich, off to the Bier Keller in Blackpool, 1975 (Bolton News).
[SOMEWHERE IN LAUSANNE, scribbling frantically]: "Mixed team high..." That's a brilliant idea! What else have you got?
When people say “I hate writing but I love having written,” they are not saying “I love that some completed text exists.”
They are saying “I love getting to the end of the process and realizing that all the work was worth it, that this sentence really pops, that I nailed it.”
We forget how long she had been in politics before she became PM. She'd been an MP for two decades and in shadow or actual cabinet for more than half that, and LOTO for a few years by the time it was written.
We've become used to people being talked of as leaders after only a term or two as a MP.
The "out of phase" sound on the Fender Strat was originally a glitch that guitarists found when shifting the pickup selector switch: it could as easily have given no sound, but gave you two pickups at a time. Later models turned this into a setting you could choose.
Thanks!
Sorry for not understanding, but I'm going to be taking a BEV to the Netherlands for the first time this summer, and I'm not sure from this what the issue is? The variation in price? Availability? Will I struggle to find a charger?
For those of us who remember looking at maps that demonstrate the rain shadow in O-level Geography, this is remarkable. My home town, one of the most reliably rainy places in England, appears to be nearing drought conditions.

I got a DVD of Hard Boiled for Christmas, and one of the delights was watching it with my daughter, who then invited all of her friends over to watch it.
Of course, now it looks like I will have to buy it again to read Vern's essay.
The Fables show was amazing and I'm very excited to already have my ticket for the Pageant tour. Incredible performances without just being copies.
Exactly this. Half of the western classical canon is in Latin. And even when Latin was widely understood, things like Viderunt Omnes stretch the syllables so much that they lose all meaning and are just pure, human sound.
Having to type "jorts" might cause Derek to explode.
“Look me in the eye and tell me you know what to wear to a vigil” might be the greatest line of TV dialogue this century. Perfect set up, writing, delivery.
It is brilliant, and if you aren't sure then the first season does work as a one-and-done so you can stop there if you aren't digging it. But you will never guess where it winds up from the start.
