    Violence towards animals seems to be perfectly acceptable, given the billions of them which are killed in cruel and barbaric circumstances every year. It seems that moral compasses point in the direction which are most convenient for their owners' proclivities....

    Passing Cyclists in UK with a car Genuine help question

    It doesn't really add much to the debate but here in BG the rules regarding cyclists are quite clear and well understood: if you're a cyclist then drivers will (mostly) do their best not to hit you, but only if you don't need to swerve to avoid vanishing into one of the many potholes. Larger...

    I certainly qualify as "going that far back", so indeed remember Timothy Whites; more to the point, I also remember far back to the days when 5 condoms wouldn't have lasted my girlfriend and me a whole weekend..... :cool:

    Possibly - he was a man before his time, so perhaps envisaged a time when such a language might exist. Of course, he would still have regarded the speakers of it as linguistically uncouth "barbarians", and had he been able to see the shenanigans regularly portrayed in the English-language...

    Because what he DID say was recorded (no, NOT on DVD or in Wikipedia) and the quoted version in question was essentially a (possibly deliberate) misinterpretation dating from the 1980s. Next question, please...... :cool:

    Why am I crap at measuring?

    It's much the same in Bulgarian: наздраве literally means "to health", while the meaning of the preposition "по" in поздрави (greetings) is context-sensitive and can also mean "to", so the word can be taken to mean literally "to healthy". This exchange is becoming less joke-like by the moment...

    The perception amongst us Snooty Toffs in Sofia is that Yambol has more Brits than Bulgarians living in and around it, so you're probably barking up the wrong tree. You've also confused poor Mr Chat by using "Cheers" as he's taken you rather literally and translated it as the "drinking...

Not engaging with them simply reduces you to the status of another drop of the apathetic oil which ensures that your interests...

    You may well be right, to some extent but don't you feel that the main causes of radicalisation (both political and religious) are gullibility and stupidity, rather than comments from anonymous nutters on the internet? The kind of people who allow themselves to be dragged into such ways of...
