Just in case this isn't a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, "entree" is synonymous with "main course". I know, I know. That's not what entree means. But the fact remains.

Little bit too coherent. And he would never second guess a decision he claims he made.

Maybe trail off in the middle of a sentence, and then mutter something about the liberals making Twitter delete it? Because everyone is in awe of how much sense he makes, and how right he is all the time.

Google tells me that "#4 Worsted" yarn weight in America equals "Aran" weight in the UK and Europe. Is that helpful?

Also, cotton feels really nice, but it's not going to have the same kind of drape that wool or even acrylic might have, or what I would want in a cardigan. (But you're not me, so...) I've had good luck with superwash wool from Knitpicks. I've made a cardigan and a sweater with it. I spent about $100 US on a booty length cardigan amount of yarn (knit, not crochet, if it matters), so your price quote for floor length seems about comparable.

If you're in the UK, knitpicks.com will ship to you. Doesn't look like they go to Europe though. :(

I hope any of that helps some. Good luck on your cardigan adventure!

That's the prequel movie. The one where you see the beginnings of, uh, head dictator guy who starts the hunger games. (I didn't watch it.)

I don't fully understand what's happening here, but they nailed the expression in that last drawing.

It sounds like it might be another form of poor tax.

Your license/inspection is expired (possibly because you either couldn't afford to renew it, or couldn't take the day off to renew it) = given a fine.

Misses a payment, because they already couldn't afford the fine = given another fine and a court date.

Have to show up in court, but can't, again for the same reason you never renewed your license or paid the fine = given yet another fine.

It just seems like it is intended to snowball due to greed. But maybe I'm wrong and just excessively jaded and cynical.

I agree. I knew the image in the thumbnail wasn't a Commodore 64, because it had an @ symbol above the 2. Nope! Shoulda been quotation marks there (then).

But when I click on the article, I think that first picture is right. At least, it looks like what I remember.

This stinks! This is total B.S.!

Maybe they choose the nicer groceries because eating is the only thing they have left in their life to look forward to? Since having children, home ownership, and retirement are all off the table in terms of affordability? Idk, just spitballin.

The article doesn't say "bomb jolt" it says "bump, jolt." In case no one actually reads the article.

Who controls the British pound?

Who keeps the metric system down?

We do! We do!

They should only be holding 2 cards for Texas Hold'em... So I'm not sure what this is.
