Could have been worse. You didn’t even use the phrase “deep throating”. No one needs that image.

NVHS2.

Wasn’t the main selling point (if it could be called that) was that someone could travel from London to Birmingham 11 minutes quicker? I wonder if that’s still true.

This might pass US food standards, but I can imagine the rest of the world would have a few objections.

There’s too many factors over which there is virtually no control, such as other things ending up in the food bin (plastic wrappers, people’s saliva, etc). It would be classified as not fit for human consumption.

First routers, then foreign operating systems, then cars…

Make a new Manhattan project of it.

I don’t think OP is making jokes about surrendering, just referring to the period when France actually had a white flag.

However, white gradually became the pre-eminent royal and “French” colour, especially from the Hundred Years’ War onwards. By the later centuries of the monarchy, a plain white flag was widely seen – though never formally declared – as the personal emblem of the king and, by extension, of the French state itself.[1][2]. The tricolour flag, adopted during the Revolution and the Empire, was abandoned under the Restoration and replaced by a white flag, usually bearing the royal arms. It was itself abolished in 1830, and the tricolour was permanently restored.

Maybe they were using AI to write it.

Why not let them do the remaining four days from home as well, further fuel savings!

Can’t write books without doing some research, I guess?

Why did that lose three horsepower?

I was thinking “was the boob tube invented back then and did the idea migrate here or to there”.

It’s not even that early here!

Sigh. Another kick in the teeth for us bald folks.

Well I do, they’re my fingers. And I washed them.

I’m not taking the gamble of using other peoples fingers.

Neither. What’s wrong your fingers, not bourgeois enough for you?
