I would quibble with the definition the author of this article has given. I’m old enough to have heard this fairly often from older relatives as a child, and to have read some Agatha Christie with the original terms.

You don’t really need alcohol in a marinade. Personally I’d say that an acid would be more useful, your choice of vinegar, citrus juice or whatever cunning alternative you prefer (rhubarb juice is surprisingly good with pork).

It’s about making a list, so they know how big the camps need to be.

If the side piece gets a blouse then my wife will be wanting at least a cocktail dress.

Essentially, yes.

It is of course a different Jaguar than it was then.

Barracks.

The OED is a descriptive not prescriptive dictionary. Inclusion simply means that a non-trivial number of nominally English speaking people are using a sound/collection of letters in a way that has an agreed and consistently recognisable meaning, and the editors have noticed. No legitimacy is conferred or enforced.

If the driver can’t stop when a pedestrian is in the road, they couldn’t have stopped for any other hazard (bridge falling, car ahead suddenly halting, sinkhole opening up, schoolbus dropping someone off and the entire road traffic system having to stop for no reason). The driver is either going too fast for the…

Yeah, there’ll be Royal Marines for actual infantry duty, but probably (not yet settled) a contingent of the US Navy’s Army’s Air Force to boost f-35 numbers and potentially fly a few Ospreys about doing whatever.

Technically the rules of engagement weren’t violated because new rules of engagement were communicated to Conqueror before sinking the Belgrano.

Realistically we’re going to spend a lot of money on F-35's and then most of her service life will be flying drone sorties.

I’m not sure why you are buying in to the basic premise that “jay walking” is a crime. If a driver hits someone when they are crossing the road then the driver is driving without due care and attention, at minimum.

The original intent was that the ski-jumps were to be removable, so that the option would be there to switch to electric catapults if that technology advanced.

There would be serious issues buying decommissioned US carriers.

It seems like the best solution would be to raise the level of the road such that clearance is only 8' or so.

I’m not particularly happy to see a formal confidence and supply deal with the DUP, given that they are politically 200 years behind the times (or 50 years ahead of the US depending how you look at it). It’s significantly less dangerous to the peace process than an actual coalition though so I suppose we should count…

Nah, the people there (living in flats for heavens sake) will be new money. The nouveau riche upper middle class, obnoxious children of the upper class, footballers, entertainers and foreigners. The real upper class have townhouses over in Knightsbridge.

Actually his brake lights are both quite clearly working (you can see them on at the start of the video and again when he pulls over and stops). It’s his (driver side) tail light that is broken.
