Let's not forget the tail. I'd paraphrase the late Pierre Desproges (a famous French humorist) : "There's more humanity in a dog's eyes when it wags its tail, than in Trump's tail when he wags his toupee." (The original quote 👇)
Didn't Apple workers get a chance to buy Apple stock, or get bonuses in Apple stock ? But I agree with your name... there's a need for tax fairness.
Then you should work to get your proposal into the dictionary, not only those in English but also those elsewhere. Mind you, I have NOTHING AGAINST your proposal. Its main weakness is that it needs to become universally accepted. To remove all doubts, I have a soft spot for Celts.
Wouldn't you be wasting my time ? The dictionaries use the term, the maps obvs do, other languages do, etc... Call it whatever you want ? But Prydain which gave Britain predates the arrival of the Sassenachs whether you like it or not.
You can ignore geography & scientific knowledge as much as you like. The definition is clear even if it hurts your feelings. The British Isles = 🇮🇪+🇬🇧 If you have a "more appropriate" name for the archipelago, feel free to propose it. You don't like Wiki ? Here's a Dutch map of the Britse eilanden
The dictionary does recognize the term "British Isles" no matter whether some people or whatever government thinks of it. QED
Dear LibDems... No cherry-picking. You know the solution to your border issue. The logical one, join the Schengen Area. The tricky one, conclude a reciprocal FoM agreement.
When does pigheadedness becomes unfathomable stupidity ? When will they get it that no-one can make Brexit work ? Brexit is "unworkable".
I'm surprised he hasn't considered revamping the obelisk with golden appliqués, frames or whatever gaudy decorations... yet.
Un électricien aromathéropathe ? 🤔 Ou alors un électricien bouddhiste qui initie son œuvre par un méditatif... Ohm Ampère Farad Ohm 😜
Partially true, there may still be "too many Brexiters" (even one would be one too many), IMHO the remaining Brexiters are still far too vocal. Ce sont les tonneaux vides qui font le plus de bruit.
Do you know Terry Pratchett's Discworld character named Igor ? He replaces all S-sounds (sibilants etc...) with a th/Þ/ð... which is incredibly fun when read aloud. E.g. "I'm an Igor, thur. We don't athk quethtionth." "Really? Why not?" "I don't know thur. I didn't athk." — Making Money
En hier komen de antwoorden... 😉 Ik moet ook opmerken dat kennis van het onderscheid al in de jaren 70 achteruitging. Wat is het nu ? 't Ès toch een affèère. 😉
This is also the bloke who'd rush to a hospital, if his daughter needed an abortion. 🤮
Je dois hélas citer cette enflure. Comme quoi, même les salauds ont parfois raison. Ce qui est inquiétant.
How often will the 🇪🇺 need to repeat it ? NO CHERRY PICKING. It's not hard to understand, even for a serious newspaper as yours. The 🇬🇧 has these options : 1) full rejoin ; 2) Norway-deal (presently the most interesting option) ; 3) Swiss-deal (no longer available) ; 4) another less interesting deal
Yup, they used to have such a... bottle stopper on the Parisian place Vendome... until people thought it was more than a stylized christmas tree... but... a bottle stopper. Let's all stand up and defend the bottle stopper.
Isn't it odd ? For just $1, billionaires can learn how to avoid paying tax on their private jet (which they're probably already leasing from some shade off-shore shelter company), while the average United-Stater has to pay hundreds of dollars just to afford health insurance. 🤨
