An authentic chappa’ai.

Dragon’s Lair was very tough and very expensive, if memory serves me right. When it came out, we couldn’t believe it.

Freelance translator here. Secret skill? Knowing when to say no. In fact I believe this is probably the most important skill in any freelance profession.

Easier said than done. I’ve been trying to save money for more than a decade, I managed to pile up a huge debt. Well, interest rates (for overdraft and credit cards) where I live are over 15% A MONTH! And I’m talking about your typical high-street banks (Citibank, Santander and the likes)...

Exactly my thoughts. Mudd should have been arrested, judged and cryogenically frozen for at least a 1,000 years. Or Lorca should have simple Judge Dredded him at the first opportunity.

For fuck’s sake! Although I’m a hardcore atheist, and I don’t give a fuck whether someone says “god bless you” or something similiar to me. I just say “thank you” because I know the person means well. And particularly in the case of sneezing, the implied message is “wish you get better soon” and not an actual deep…

Indeed. If you come to Brazil, don’t say “Bless you!” It’s very likely that the majority of the people won’t understand you. Instead, say “SAÚDE!” (health). That’s what we say down here.

And Canada.

Couldn’t agree more. The Rosetta Stone together with the Elgin Marbles are THE most famous artifacts in the British Museum.

So, does this mean that Red Bull will remain in F1? If I’m not mistaken, there were some rumours circulating (last year?) that they were thinking about retiring the team from F1.

Can we dream of F1 streaming through Netflix? If I were Netflix, I’d seriously think about broadcasting live sports. Not only F1, but also the Olympics (both Summer & Winter) and FIFA’s World Cup.

If by any chance you’re reading this, Mr. Hastings, I won’t mind getting a free lifetime Netflix subscription of the best…

I understand the reasoning for offering discounts to new (or returning) subscribers, but I always thought they (any company doing that) should either offer the same deal or a better one to long-standing loyal customers. It feels like your loyalty is worth nothing, i.e., you’re yesterday’s news. They already got you…

The worst of all is that something (haircut) that was being done literally amidst a coup, at the heat of the moment, and should be done as fast as possible (the king was still at large) resulted in a flawless hairdo. My suspension of disbelief was thrown down to Earth.

The closest thing I can think of after reading this is someone bringing a sex doll to a swinger’s party.

That’s what they did to my car on Tuesday. It’s one of the dealers indicated by the car maker to carry out it. So, it’s not something done haphazardly. In fact it’s safer than waiting until they get the new part. If I weren’t that lazy, I’d go downstairs and take a picture of the huge sticker they placed on the…

I took my car Tuesday morning to “fix” it. They don’t have the replacement inflator yet, but they disengaged the deffective one. So, no airbag on the passenger seat for the time being. But no risk of any serious injury caused by the deffective part either. They’ll contact me as soon as my place on the line is due to…

No, no. That’s probably Coyota fluid.

Ditto. I also work watching something. Though my line of business is a bit different.
