The inability to handle things is unrelated to technology. If you can't handle a computer or a smartphone, chances are you'd have difficulty with whatever you need it for, over the phone. My dad at 89 is quite adept; but my mother at 86 hasn't been able to use whatsapp for 3 years now.

I understand Dorkeaux to mean that the people smugglers sell Britain as a place where your get a free house, mobile phone, car etc. And the right wing morons, The Mail and the Torygraph, validate it by complaining about immigrants receiveing free houses, mobile phones, cars etc......

Dan Wheatcroft - the leveller series.

The second in the series is a free ebook. So I read that first and then paid for the other two. Quite good but a bit hard to follow.

In the end I used half a dried carolina reaper (chopped), plus a whole dried scotch bonnet (chopped), plus 5 crushed dried birdseye.

Now it's about £1000, as the government changed the rules so it must be class 3. We've kept up our contributions, so when we retire,...

In the past 10 years, my returns so far have been equivalent to 7%. I did make some very...

I was in Brighton last weekend and bought some dried Carolina Reaper. I'm used to making chillis and curries with Scotch Bonnet, but these are rather more upscale. Has anyone used Carolina Reaper in a chilli con carne? How much should I use?

I assume then that you agree with the government about getting rid of trial by jury?...

Aw. Bless.

I asked my French boss when I was working in France for a reference. He looked at me.

- Are you a domestic worker?
- No...
- Well, I like you. You write it, I'll sign it.

In France references were only used for domestic workers. Servant....

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn repeatedly urged people living under a corrupt authoritarian regime not to collaborate—especially not by serving as judges, prosecutors, interrogators, or bureaucrats who enable oppression.

Navalny encouraged the same. Btw, I recommend his autobiography. Surprisingly...
