Re: Word of the day
"Kummerspeck", literally translated as "grief bacon".
And there was me believing it meant "small cum"........come to think of it "grief bacon" could describe the feeling after "small cum"....

last time I was in London I was amused by the conversation between a drunken muslim chap and a late-night street corner hot dog vendor...................

He purchased the hot dog. Last seen walking through the west end happily polluting his soul with pig meet

Re: @AC Common Lego !!
Go back and read my earlier post
The fact remains that the early history of the USA was based on WHITE slavery. The Spanish took prisoners of any colour to use as slaves. The British transported "criminals" on any pretence for use as forced labour. Non-conformists were criminalised and transported. Ireland was subject to campaigns of deliberate depopulation, with the residents forcibly shipped to the USA and Caribbean to work on plantations. "Indentured servants" were shipped to the USA on terms so strict that the workers could never earn their freedom: for instance becoming pregnant extended the indenture time by ten years, and with the indentured woman being at the beck and call of the master, not many avoided continual pregnancy. Many white women - indentured or Irish - were forced to become brood mares to negro studs, in an attempt to "improve" the black slaves. And lets not forget why the negroes were imported anyway: because the white slaves died too quickly under the conditions on the plantations. The blacks lasted longer. Thats why you hear so much about black slaves and not white: the blacks managed to live and have offspring......
And again I'll repeat what I said earlier, the Americans were happy to take slaves from wherever they could find them. Thousands of Chinese and Japanese women captured in the home nations with the connivance of their governments and shipped to the west coast as enforced brothel workers. Chinese coolies tricked into railroad or mine work for virtually no pay, with enforcers set to ensure compliability. On the east coast, a massive racket bringing eastern european Jewish women into the country on false pretences for use as sex slaves (how little things change.....compare with the eastern european sex slave problem now).
Slavery in the USA wasn't a black issue. It was a multi-ethnic issue. Its just that the blacks (a) were more visible and (b) tended to survive the plantations better, so more lived to tell us about it.

Americans tend to forget that the early days of their country was very much based on white slavery.
A large proportion of the early settlers were indentured "servants", kept in conditions where they were never able to buy out their contract, transportees, or forcibly displaced Irish who were regarded as sub-human workhorses.
Indeed many white Irish women were forced into becoming slave breeding stock, being selectively mated with the supposedly bigger, more powerful blacks in an attempt to breed "white intelligence" into superior black muscle power.
Of course much later you have the large numbers of Chinese imported to the west coast to work in mines and railways, and the many thousand of Chinese and Japanese women imported as forced brothel workers with official state sanction. Equally a large part of Jewish immigration from Europe was of Russian / German / Polish women imported as sex slaves for the eastern sea ports.
No-one denies that black slavery was large scale and unpleasant. But white slavery was at times equally present and equally unpleasant - it just happened to be less visible due to the victims skin colour

M6 and birds....
around 15 years ago a lorry load of live chickens collided with another full of paint between J33 and J34............the results were somewhat sticky and it took a long time to unglue them from the road.
Nothing to do with the subject but the M6 / bird story just struck a memory

Re: The bloody flies (and other airborne thingies)
Bumblebee...yep, I had one of those once. Open face helmet, hit my glasses, bent the frames double. I thought I'd broken a cheek bone though the x-ray was inconclusive.
Potentially worse was when I hit a wren at ~90mph. Glasses took all the shock and were totally destroyed, I got a small bit of bruising. Lucky not to be blinded. Switched to full face helmets after that...

sorry, didn't like it. A Doctor who behaved like a gibbering idiot, a substandard monster with a facemask borrowed from "Predator", crap animations with a reservoir dam that looked like it was made from sheet paper...and an unfathomable storyline
In short, a throwback to the worst days of pre-reboot Dr Who

"We have T&C's that state any interaction with the company is subject to US laws and litigation must be commenced in Orange County, California."
T&Cs cannot overrule national law. If you are doing business in country X, then you are subject to country X's laws, irrespective of whatever may be in your contracts. Essentially no T&Cs can protect you if you act criminally

Re: Shave every day?
"But less than what they never say. A rabbit? A mink? A narwhal?"
Less than men who shave...........
except for those beardy types who like to play daddy bear at the local gay sauna.
Truth is, most beardies are sandal wearing overweight real-ale slurping members of CAMRA, offering little in the way of sexual attraction and probably suffering perpetual brewers droop

Re: Shave every day?
"why shave your face every day "
1) beards itch
2) beards like mine feel like razor wire when you get them anywhere near a womans lips. Or other parts
3) most women don't like beards
4) in summer beards are unbearably hot
5) if your hair is as grey as mine, having a beard makes you look like Rip van Winkle. Even just white fuzz looks untidy
6) food gets trapped in beards, as does dribble, snot, moths
7) bearded men get stopped more often at security checks
8) beards pick up aromas from the environment and leave a bad taste / smell (don't go near a pig farm if you have a beard - you'll smell the shit all day)
9) bearded men don't get promoted
10) bearded men get less sex

I'd like to get rid of my beard.......shaving every day (or more often) is a PITA and a task I'd be glad to get rid of. Does face waxing work? Seriously thinking of trying it as it works on my groin and scrotum and other bits with no pain at all and lasts for a few weeks.
If anyone is looking for a volunteer for hair follicle donation you can have mine any time (the ones on my butt crack are especially luxuriant, would be good for a moustache transplant). It would be good to get rid of the Klingon risk

Re: Viewer "fatigue"?
"'reboot' in this context would be new actor playing the Doctor, new companion(s), and a new production team/showrunner"
so nothing new then.....
though I can't help feeling a real total clear-the-decks reboot would help, with nothing left from the current team at all - not like the baton-passing which handed the show to Muffit

"Not to mention a minor character who went on to become the Doctor"
thinking about it he actually played two characters........the civil servant in CofE (Frobisher???), and also the chap in Pompeii
but in the case of the Pompeii episode there may be an excuse.....somewhere along the line there was an episode which seemed to indicate that the Doctor on regeneration could only copy the faces of people he'd met....
