My grandfather loved going out on his bike when he was told he couldn't drive any more. It was critical to his quality of life. What's Trump got: just a once-superpower to grind into oblivion.

The person you're replying to is Canadian and agreeing with your sentiment, pointing out an example of a product they have that can't easily be exchanged also.

Good work BTW on de-Americanising. I'm trying also but don't buy alot, particularly brands. I'm left with trying to not use American tech

Would you say you're in the minority or is it evident that most Canadians are boycotting?

Do you feel any slow down of the movement?

Sorry for your loss, she will always be a beautiful dog.

 

My 5yr old son has just been diagnosed. The diagnosis was binary (yes:no) rather than a scale which was the first lesson for me.

I need to understand how to support him and am not sure where to start. Does anyone have any advice please?

Nothing but rabid inflation and declining earning potential

I think the Scots having to click on an English flag to read something would piss them off more?

Or are you suggesting having a Scottish flag that displays the site in Gaelic for that 2% of Scots that know it?

Ah got you sorry. I see your point. Thanks

Council tax in the UK is banded based on the size of the property so isn't that the equivalent of the US property tax?

No, I hadn't considered that one drive would be more efficient than another. It was a rear drive BTW.

I think the issue is more that I need it to be helping at 20mph and that's not legally allowed at the mo

How dare you interrupt me with facts while I'm raging! /s

 

Ok, hit me with ideas please. I can't afford to double the cost but am prepared to pay extra for European cat food, both dry and wet.

Anyone found good options? I'm in the UK which may limit my options

 

Only just taken it up, came from tennis so I'm a reasonable level (3.5ish).

I'm keen to play when I'm on holiday in Spain and wondered what people felt was the best way of approaching this.

Do I email the nearest club and ask them to set me up with some of their club members? Or maybe just focus on 1-2-1 coaching? (would that even work or would you need a pair to do coaching?).

Is there an app in Spain where you advertise to have a game? I think playtomic is meant to be but doesn't seem too active.

We're at a kids resort so I thought to ask the resort to try to organise but I don't think they'll want to be doing this just to entertain me lol

Any other ideas appreciated
