  1. @davidTrussler @positive_judes Our beer o'clock was at Inspire... Delirium Red 8.4% ABV #cherry #headache Augustiner 5.9% ABV #refreshing
  2. @positive_judes true fact: I spend a couple of weeks each year at Gill's old house...
  3. @alisonhcampbell It's used quite a lot in EN as well...
  4. @AnnedeFreyman I'm pleased with FreeAgent so far, & can send you a referral code for 10% off if you like ;)
  5. @edarutechoes Thanks! "free text" looks good, "free-form" might also work...
  6. Friday brain fail: what do we call it in English when a text field allows the entry of any form of text ("saisie libre" in French...)?
  7. @Alliandre Yes, we call them "Canada geese" here (not sure why Canada and not Canadian).
  8. Family life in Leamington Spa: twitter.com/AMDTransl/stat…
  9. The woman who sings the announcements at Coventry station is on duty today, which makes me happy :)
  10. @natreis1 I considered the matter carefully and decided that stepping out for tea & cake would be helpful :)
  11. Well, getting that job finished was like pulling teeth. On to the next...
  12. @soba_girl ... and the next best is someone who can do the necessary learning PDQ!
  13. @soba_girl Reckon most of us end up doing a bit of both. Sometimes there isn't anyone available who has done the prior learning...
  14. @TheStevenThomas full disclosure: I'm married to a Welshman & know that Welsh has borrowed loads of words (sosban fach and all that)...
  15. @TheStevenThomas I'm English. The giveaways are the borrowed words "het" and "chornel". My hat, it has three corners...
  16. @ghargreaves @betti_moser I was always taught that it's good to share.
  17. @Betti_Moser If you're doing a combine harvester job, then you need this song. No need to thank me ;) youtu.be/Sr30FEkfevo
  18. @soba_girl Didn't realise it was that localised. "Islands" instead of "roundabouts" also confused me initially - do you have that in Brum?
  19. @soba_girl Are they not called "batches" where you are? They are here, 20 miles away. The Midlands are weird.
