Probably far better trained than the orcs who
are dying at a rate of 1500 a day with no gains to show for it.

Anyone who thinks that Ukraine will somehow give up if only one country reduces support does not know Ukrainians.

Sunday lunch food.

Simpson's is still going though.

Tankards of ale are very old fashioned, however many pubs do a nice Sunday meal.

It's used often. Has two meanings, the original and literal one a bit archaic nowadays, the metaphorical meaning is more usual now we don't use coal much.

Smut.

Frank Auerbach has just died aged 98. Perhaps the foremost British and European artist of the past few decades. He did this one in 1995, showing the road outside his studio.

Is a misunderstood word. It's not a synonym for excellent. You can y fluent and make a lot of mistakes; immigrants to a country who learnt the lańguage around them rather than from a textbook are often very fluent but go against a lot of the principles of grammar.

I use Brut 33 sometimes. They still sell it and it's actually good quality. Nobody under a certain age remembers it, and for people older, it has nostalgia.


One good thi grin Poland is some of the 'cheaper' brands made for Eastern Europe. The quality is often very good and they tend to be robust. Plus the 'special' versions from well known brands for that market. I bought a Kenwood stand mixer/food processor, made in the U.K. but sold in Poland, Ukraine etc. Much cheaper than their other stuff, takes the same attachments and has lasted me for years.

EuroRTV are particularly good for those products and Media Markt often has some.

Oddly enough, Nowy wspaniały świat is how Huxley's Brave New World is titled in its Polish translation.

Dreary and rather annoying like most Huxley (though I can see why it was popular in PL) except for Eyeless in Gaza, very worth reading.

Moisturising is more important; any will do, even the cheapest (though non-greasy ones are best), last thing at night.

No such thing.

It looks like 75 of the 300m million in that country are going to get a very rude shock when they realise that trumpet doesn't call the shots outside his own sphere.

One thing that used to be seen as a little embarrassing is that some of the major early archeological sites in PL were inhabited by Burgundian rather than proto-Slavic cultures.

Yes, Kamala Harris would have been good, as are the SPD in Germany.

They're both a bit too much towards the right wing however the do their job well and there's no reason that mild dissatisfaction with some policies should lead to du ping them in favour of fascists.
