Yeah I was confused that Scottish people were depicted on TV as saying "ken" for "know" until I moved to the East, where they actually do.

My advice to everyone in the world is if you're writing something to publish online and it's more than a few lines, save it in a text file on your com...

I've never heard it or read it. But then, I was brought up in a very Anglicized household. I didn't even try haggis till I left home.

Deleted by me. The Shoutbox is not the place. Feel free to create a new discussion.

Today morning (as I've started saying, under the influence of my wife) I discovered there was no hot water, then that there was no power, and recently...

I watched a video about all the nasty stuff that happens to people in Yellowstone when they don't follow the rules or they strayed from the trails. Pe...

I don't know much about bisons but my assumption would be never to approach a bison unless strictly necessary.

Like a peace pirate.

Only by ignorant outsiders.

Then I shall be Jamal Davidovich

Hi Varde, I deleted it. I couldn't make sense of it, and I judged this to be partly down to the writing. If English is not your first language then I'...

Difficult to pull off? (the boots) Maybe Jamalochka. More than most, I'd say. Virtually all, unless they're from a foreign background. Worth noting: e...

If it's by choice, you're not one of the bald brotherhood.

Members who want to complain about a staff decision can use the Feedback category.

An authentic Russian just confirmed this is true. They do have some terms of endearment but mostly use diminutive names instead.

I've tried using them but my wife told me to stop because it sounded wrong, that I should just carry on saying honey lamb and sweet cheeks.

Maybe they use them where we would use terms of endearment instead. But I don't know enough to say for sure.

So... some are suitable for children, some more like nicknames between friends, and so on.

Her given name would be Nadezhda, and the rest, you're pretty much right: they're standard diminutives of that name. Why Russians have so many diminut...

I was also sceptical, because I don't like tomatoes with eggs. But when it's a sauce its different. The ball is in your court.

Curious fact: in Italy they have a similar dish called uova in purgatorio (eggs in purgatory).

@"Noble Dust" Correction: looks like huevos rancheros isn't necessarily exactly what I thought. Seems it's often just fried eggs with a salsa topping,...

:lol:

That's OK, don't feel bad. Highly recommended.

Both are eggs poached in a tomato sauce. I didn't mention that for fear of stating the obvious. I should have known that on TPF I'd have to cross the ...

Breakfast was a cross between shakshuka and huevos rancheros. It was shakshuka because I used lots of sesame seeds and had some hummus on the side, an...

If it hasn't been said already, it might be important to note that Hume's and Kant's attacks on metaphysics have probably been the most important in t...

I have many good advice and wise thinkings. It is only necessary you to ask.

I'm here to help.

Good point. Merry Christmas to all our members down under!

As praxis said, go to "Drafts". On mobile it's under the top right menu, on desktop as I recall it's under the main left-hand menu.

Yes, exactly like that. It's normally translated as The Irony of Fate. I'm not a big fan. There are many better Soviet romantic comedies.

You've only taken one bite and already the avocado has begun to escape. I'm with BC.

Dipped in a cappuccino or spread with butter and jam are acceptable, but there is no context in which brioche is the best choice. I don't think it's a...

I'm puzzled by this phenomenon. Every so often people arrive here and start complaining about the evils of belief. What's going on? Is this a thing, s...

Just noticed the olive sticking out of the Galley Boy. Unnecessary, I say.

Looks pretty good. Basic, compact, not too big. I deplore the use of brioche in savoury contexts.

No

If I see the phrases “magma pockets”, “pc brigade”, or “neomarxist postmodernism” again here in the Shoutbox, I fear it’ll be too much for me to take.

Outrageous. Also outrageous.

Why is this chap going on about magma and someone called counterpunch?

He'll protect your goats for sure. :nerd:

When I heard this song for the first time it seemed like the best piece of music I'd ever heard. Context is everything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

What is that? That's the way I roll.

Italian, Spanish, and French wine is still available too. I haven’t seen any big interruption in wine supplies from the West so far. Coffee beans thou...

I’m a nicotine addict and want to avoid inhaling smoke, hence the vape. Winewise yes, saperavi from Georgia is my go to wine.

Those guys are too barky and territorial. They’re tedious assholes, but otherwise friendly. Not recommended unless you have livestock.
