Re: Chambre cent-un open for deposits.....
I will admit that there are, occasionally, honest politicians. The problem for them is that their party tries to keep them out of the way. My definition of an honest politician is this;
An honest politician is a person who listens to their constituents, takes on board what they are being asked to do (regardless of whether this is what their political party wants), and then presents those requests without any bias. They will also say what they mean to say, without any ambiguous phrases. The last honest politician I am aware of would be Mo Mowlan (as I tend to avoid watching anything vaguely political I may have missed any more recent politicians I would consider honest, and worth voting for).
Barring honest politicians, can we drop politicians in?

From politicians................... and others in official capacities.
Harold Wilson's "At this moment in time." which seems to have taken hold throughout the nation, why can't they just say 'now'
And "Our thoughts and prayers."

Unsolicited junk mail, nuisance phone calls, and the companies where such vile effluence originates.

Re: Chambre cent-un open for deposits.....
Im going to throw seagulls, known by various names, pulies, scurries, flying rats, vermin, and lots of swear words when you have just washed the car and they use it as target practice. A protected species too they are. A shotgun would fix them. The housing estate i live in is a breeding ground for them, and its breeding season right now

Re: Chambre cent-un open for deposits.....
Not sure where to put this....not funny enough for "Funny Pictures and Videos", not musical enough for the "P.E. Jukebox" yes I know brief 2 minutes of fame and then straight into 101!
I give you "Musical Tesla Coils"....much prefer the Animals version
although on you tube there are more examples, maybe its a niche new genre....could be entertaining at the end of an alfresco beer garden evening event at the PE if any of the punters are good at DIY Electrics! The crowd at the Tesla coil music concert at the University of Illinois Engineering Open House, 2013 seemed to enjoy it.
Anyone want to save them?

Re: Chambre cent-un open for deposits.....
Glamping
Glamourous Camping. Probably not the actual accomodation because some are interesting, but definitely the prices some charge.
But thats not the main focus of the dump into 101 of glamping. It's the word, and there are many others in that category, the blended word.
It takes with it the dreaded British Exit in its blended form.
I hesitate to condemn all such blendings, exceptions to the general dumping can be made, to allow salvation on the following grounds...
Humour, outstanding appropriateness, or creativity.
So one exception of great simplicity I am saving on the grounds of outstanding appropriateness is...
Smog.

Re: Chambre cent-un open for deposits.....
Smog can stay as it is such a rarity these days. Haven't encountered any since I-don't-know-when.
Glamping sounds appalling. Motile restriction with a G-cramp.
