@peemee Living on your own and not being able to move about must be miserable. What's actually wrong with the knee, is it the cartilage in the joint (arthritis) or is it the ligaments? You may have said before and I may have forgot…
It's nice to see leafy trees again. The tall ones near my house are still mostly bare though, so the view out of the window is still not great.
The advance of American lingo proceeds apace. I just heard a British person say 'slow up' instead of 'slow down'.
Someone is telling me that in America, crisps (potato chips) packets bear a warning about anal leakage. Really?
@phoneboy Speaking of tax at work. I read this today:
’The actual, real governmental federal budget as collected from U.S. taxpayer funds in the U.S., as enumerated by the ‘federal revenue’ has been typically in the $3-4 trillion range. And out of that number, we’re now edging towards $1 trillion as just the defense/military budget, alone.’
I don't think Gary Lighbody's voice (Snow Patrol) is very nice, even though some of their songs are decent. He sounds like he's recovering from a cold.
A little known secret about Emmanuel Macron is that he's not of French origin. He's actually of Scottish origin. So Mac-Ron actually means 'son of Ron'. I'm just not sure if he's the son or Ronald Reagan or the son of Ronald McDonald. He often seems like a bit of both.
