I didn't find the description very helpful in that regard. I wasn't sure if it was papier maché.

Boudicca. Joan of Arc. Grace O' Malley. There are some others.

One of the definitions of civilisation is the building of substantial permanent settlements. Gobekli Tepe does qualify in that sense, as does Chatal Hoyuk. Gobekli Tepe features notable sculptures too.

It's called Facebook, because it collected photographs to be used for facial recognition data, much like personal information was collected for sale to commercial interests. In fact, Facebook often used to ask you to identify people in

They may not need to be, as some are discrete. I am concerned because I wear tinted glasses a lot for completely different reasons.

Why do you think it was called Facebook?

Most think tanks are ginger groups, front organisations and cats' paws for moneyed interests anyway.

Basically more primitive versions of the same.

Didn't the Romans have something similar?

I think it is all about balance. Some people will tell you it's good to cry. The truth is that it depends when and where you do it.

In looking this up, I found that keds cannot transmit Lymes, and that many ticks catch Lymes from smaller hosts such as mice, before transmitting it to humans. This raises another issue... If an area is largely owl free (as most cities and

I can understand Thetford. There are masses of those small Chinese water deer in East Anglia. I saw quite a few about and as roadkill. No one really seems to hunt them so they would be an ideal vector.

1986 is forty years ago. We have Lymes disease in Scotland (I know someone who has it), and a large deer population which has not been properly controlled with substantial remote areas. (Much smaller than the USA but big enough to be reserv

Ticks are much more common in Scotland thanks to deer population and high rainfall. Ticks prefer damp conditions to drought conditions, so this last summer wouldn't have been good for them. The damp makes it easier to survive while the

Farage's game was to resign and get re-elected with a large majority, which succeeded. Only Count Binface came anywhere near stopping him doing that and offered a viable alternative. The parties who refused to stand allowed Farage to d

They have more than enough time, labour and money to contest that seat. It smells like a cop out to me. If it was in Scotland, this situation would never have happened since the SNP is supposed to contest every seat.

I know who he's related to, but he did go for a very un-Italian name.

by nephihaha 2mo ago
It certainly exists in Scotland. Wouldn't surprise me if it got there.

There are tonnes of them. Especially Eastern Europeans and Jews. Italians sometimes too. Still happens in entertainment, since Steve Carell and Nicholas Cage's real names are more Italian sounding.

We managed to get given a drug dealer's former landline, and had to get it changed after strange calls in the middle of the night. Then our neighbours got the same number after about a year and had the same issue.

Don't worry, I don't doubt it will be turned into an international system like phone numbers.

It used to be very common for migrants to change their surnames, although less so now. There used to be a person who wrote about Scottish Lithuanians called John Millar, who was born as Jonas Stepšys. Noam Chomsky had said that his family&#

They do unfortunately. I know someone with a more unusual surname who was getting chased for the debt of someone with the same name. It happens.

I think it was a cop out on their part myself. Although to be pedantic, British politicians traditionally "stand" rather than "run" like their American counterparts.

Like all those other countries. I'm sure they came up with this idea all by themselves.

The BBC has had Nigel Farage on constantly. He is one of the most frequent guests on BBC Questiontime, their flagship political programme for at least fifteen years. He is partly of their creation.

I think it was a major tactical mistake for them to withdraw. Binface is the only thing which turned it into a proper contest.

I voted Remain, and hoped the EU would get its house in order if the UK stayed in it. Unfortunately neither of these things happened. Both the EU and the UK have become increasingly authoritarian, including on internet matters.

They did normalise it by not standing.
