They’re obsessed with protein and don’t realise fibre is more important.

Deutsch.

Jawohl.

Es ist scheiße, ich zu sein.

The reason why I’m not writing a book is because I have a vague idea but I won’t be able to tie it all up fairly neatly and make sure everything makes at least some sense (ergo: why did x do y?). But apparently that’s not necessary anymore.

I’m a middle aged Long Covid sufferer who has moved abroad and has to learn a third language. It’s been a complete and utter nightmare. 2 years of courses and I still can’t string a sentence together.

Books are getting worse too. Publishers seem to be perfectly happy to publish books with no solid plot that have no proper ending because the writer couldn’t think of one.

Sea lioning is pretending to be interested in a reasonable discussion when you’re really looking to wind someone up until they lose their temper.

I’m a woman, my parents already gave me a male name. I never really thought about it until my brother had a son and named him after me.

The USA won’t let them in, the way they didn’t let in the Jews during WW2.

Iceland!

The US will be bankrolling Russia so it can attack the EU.

I’m an editor. The first thing I do is a search and replace for those two dumb spaces.

Don’t leave it too long. My mother law has only just started online banking and it’s been an absolute nightmare.

But “shreds” literally means clothes.

I’m always amazed at how personal everything still is in Germany. When there was a problem with a tax form, I got a call from a guy at the tax office who gave me his name and number so I was able to call him back with any other problems. When I had to get insurance for my mother in law’s car, I got a call from my MIL’s insurance to discuss a discount. Referred to surgeon? Doctor called surgeon, made an appointment for later that day and every day for the rest of the week.

RobWords. If you like etymology, he’s your man.

Just put him on the floor every time he does it, rather than kicking him out of the room. He’ll get the message eventually. Mine did.

Me too, and I really regret it.
