Jamal

I can only look on in admiration.

I know right! And have you noticed how persuasive it is, and how, through sheer force of personality, it manages to strike devastating blows against t...

Too weird. What about Jamalover?

Any post by T Clark.

I thought his first name was Gerald.

Here's Russia-1's response to the Brits. The graphics at 17 seconds and then at 1:27 get the point across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlHs8DibUDU...

According to my research, white rice lasts for at least 30 years if stored correctly, 2 years otherwise.

Like when a rusty bolt snaps and the bridge collapses.

I'm not sure exactly what it takes, but it doesn't take much these days, because humans have a few hundred years of experience with printing, a great ...

Where I’m from, this speech pattern is par for the fucking course and de ri-fucking-gueur. :up:

Accurate.

:cry:

Just spoiling for a fight.

The fondness people have, or think they have, for sans-serif typefaces, is not to be trusted or heeded. Most books are in serif typefaces, for good re...

A clue to @"Hanover"'s username on the Wikipedia page for the House of Hanover: "Many towns and provinces across the British Empire were named after t...

I am at variance with you on the issue of serifs. I was thinking of the palindromic Jamaj.

That's why I dislike sans-serif typefaces. I can live with it. Unless you have an alternative terminal letter to suggest?

That's how I said it, yes. But I'll note again that for Jamal it's different: I say it like you: JamAAL, roughly.

Kind of, but although the first syllable is stressed, it's not as long as you're indicating there. But it's past history now. I've moved on.

Poussière Noble, apparently. This leads inevitably to another nickname: pussy.

But yes, in "Jamal" I stress the second syllable, as I imagine most people do. In "jamalrob" I stressed the first and last. Somewhat inconsistent.

No no, never again.

You want my real name? It's Jambolus Allegra Robrub.

I pronounce it Noblay.

I pronounce it Jamal Rob and it's formed from the first letters of each part of my three part name. Jam Al Rob. Its pretty crap but I feel it's too la...

Finally I have a new nickname. I think I prefer Jamal.

"Here" here could refer to the Shoutbox, TPF, your own head, your sardine can, New York City, or the meaningless and indifferent cosmos.

I didn't like either, but I disliked the book more.

The Godfather and the Shining spring to mind as likely candidates too, from what I've heard, though I haven't read the books myself, and probably neve...

The Tarkovsky film Stalker is based on that book. I found the film much more memorable.

That's probably an illusion. With Ukraine, in contrast with the wars of the past, it's just too early for simple narratives to have developed, or to h...

Yep, I like it.

But even if we narrow it down and ask "is the web beautiful?", this similarly might have to be narrowed down further. The principle of the technology ...

I don't think it's pedantic or too obvious to complain that there's no clear distinction in the OP (or in the discussion in general as far as I can se...

It’s built in to the software but optional. We’ve tried it twice and on both occasions the whining, kvetching bellyachers among the membership dominat...

:up:

Don’t link to your website in your posts though. Thanks.

Hello Vincent. The first five posts of every new member go to pre-moderation to be approved by a member of the staff. I just approved your first two. ...

:gasp:

Don't worry, they were Russian millimetres, which are obviously bigger and more aggressive than normal millimetres, and totally non-commensurable.

I forgot to mention that the pestel and mortar are black granite and the salt mill is a Peugeot. Nothing else will do.

On a Tuesday. This morning, freshly filleted lightly salted hot-smoked Siberian trout with one home-poached free-range chicken's egg, served on a smal...

At the in-laws for Orthodox Easter. Barbecued beef and vodka for lunch.

Was the cheese and yoghurt mixed in with the eggs or served on the side? Anyway, nuts and egg: classic :chin:

But the question on the application, according to you, asks for the gender, not the sex.

It seems self-evident to me that knowing things and asking "how do we know things?" are qualitatively different. The same goes for most philosophical ...

Thanks, but it might be orthographically inadmissible.

:clap: You been working on that for the past 8 hours? Time well spent! I don't know what "sevil" is though. Dad lives on No's evil dad
