to be honest, Pawian, I have never heard of such a phrase, using 'pip'.
the only one I can think of is 'it gives me the pip'

yes I do, and only idiots use it these days. I have my own reason for rejecting this silly word, but it would take a whole other thread to go through it. 'lol' and you probably wouldn't get it.
You asked what you should do about the fine - I suggested you pay it to avoid future problems. I don't have any comprehension problems. reading back again, it sounds as though you are looking for reasons to not pay it.
Also, next time you are due a holiday, don't go somewhere where the beer is cheap.
have a great day love.
Honestly do you not know the definition of the word gender? lol

it's not 'gender' it's sex. Just saying.
You videoed your husband getting lashed and taken to the drunk tank?
OK!
Honestly, love, just pay it. he doesn't have any "rights". He went as a tourist to a foreign destination, got a taste for the cheap alcohol, and couldn't handle it.
Just cough up and move on.
that could be aimed at any gender, not you specifically 🙄

I am not gay though...
I have no idea why any woman would want to be with someone who has such loss of control over a bit of alcohol.<shrugs> I guess he must be a big lad or something. UK people acting like that is pure embarrassing tbh.
Constructively though, I guess just pay it off asap, to avoid further problems

Life / What is Poland's view on obesity? How healthy, fit are Poles? [166]
in fact there are a myriad of reasons. I mean, there have always been stupid people, not obese ones.
Cheap corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, for a start.
then move on to how children are now kept indoors as mollycoddled prisoners with an X box (no exercise)
School league tables meant that PE took second place and besides that , many school playing fields were sold off for housing.
Also, there is more poverty now, and if you don't have much money to spend on food, you are not going to buy kale and lentils. No, you treat yourself with a bag of sugary doughnuts.
There are more reasons but I will leave you to think of them yourself...:):)

I think abortion should only be allowed up to when the heart starts beating, which by all accounts is 6 weeks.

it was Hitler that did that to them , though. Prior to this, there were people in , for example, Vienna, or Berlin who barely knew they were Jewish..until they and their relatives started getting carted off and killed.
And it is nothing like someone asking where you are from and you saying 'Catholic'. don't be silly. It's an entirely different history. Jewishness is more than just a religion.
Like I said , reading is really informative. I do a lot of it..:):)

check the definition. Maf. England and Wales, for example, are different nations. They have different official languages. If you don't believe me, tell a Welsh person he is English.
England and Wales are however, the same 'state',
The UK is not a 'nation state'.
