I despair of what has become of the West. It's like Groundhog Day.

It can't be any worse than Coca Cola and its toilet cleaning properties. It's just some bubbles, surely.

Do what matters most and free yourself. I do recommend a toot of the White Buffalo to go with your coffee.

Then it's up to the staff to make sure you get what you ordered. You know, they could be proactive and ask questions. If I buy a steak, then I'll be asked how I would like it cooked. It's really not hard.

I define hot by dipping my right index finger in the coffee. If I have to remove it in less than 0.5 of a second, then it's hot enough.

What the Shakin' Stevens does that mean. Hot or not hot, tepid, not iced. Jeez.

LOL, bignok. Ask for a splash of cold milk.

As an aside, and not wishing to start separate topic, my wife informed me today that her aunt (not the boy's mother) asked her to countersign a military guarantor document on behalf of her cousin who's soon to join the Thai army, although not sure whether conscripted or voluntary, but she declined to sign because a) she's no idea what she's guaranteeing; and b) she spends most of her time in the UK as a British citizen. I'm glad my wife had her wits about her today. The boy's mother is dead but his father is still alive and feel like my wife's aunt tried to bully her into being a guarantor. We're not angry, but we're not stupid. Anyone heard of this guarantee and what it entails? Surely, there's some form of financial guarantee involved, otherwise it would be pointless.

But people have their own requirements, irrespective of yours.

That's not the point. If the OP orders a hot drink, then hot drink it is.

Until the driving test is the equal of the UK test (and others) then no point. Once that's sorted, then concentrate on law enforcement.

Indeed, but if you prefer a lukewarm coffee then you allow it to cool. But a tepid coffee isn't going to warm itself up.

My wife and I spent three days in Den Haag (aka The Hague) late last year and really enjoyed our stay. The beach and promenade are equally impressive. We'll definitely return.

I'm glad he's not slumming it.

But they'll go out of business if they don't.

Both equally dubious as each other.

You've got lovely baps.

... and RationalWiki is a reliable source?

UK second last. ???? Does Germany have the equivalent of the UK TV licence? If one watched Eurovision live in the UK, then legally they require a TV licence. We unsubscribed from the TV licence about four years ago and never looked back.

Have a good day.

The point that you're trying to make doesn't make sense within the context of my original post.

I'm trying to grasp your point...but, computer says no.

I know, but doesn't stop me trying. ????

Agreed but doesn't really add anything to the turn of events. Unless there's definitive evidence that Ben was lured into a honeytrap by Pong, then it's all guesswork.

My brain doesn't understand the American way, so excuse me. But I regularly read that many Americans 'carry' and the reason that they're armed is that they're ready to counter a possible shooter. It's very rare that a carrier fells a shooter, although appreciate there was a recent instance of a carrier taking out a shooter, but it's very rare.
