That's a shit beer!

Does anyone else find the 5 camera-angles detract from the realness of the video?

I mean, yeah, no TV is real, but this pretending that it is a real situation in this style of video irritates me in a way I cannot describe.

Am I being too picky? I don't know.

I had a very rare Skype call with the big boss a few years ago and within the first four seconds my cat vomited loudly behind me. "Hello K.. Bwaaargachachach-ak-acc-squeltch."

I haven't telephoned with them since.

British girl, 15, stranded in Rome for six weeks due to new passport rules

Reply in thread

I am from the UK, my wife from Germany. My daughter was born in Germany and has dual-citizenship automatically via me as her father.

She was born before Brexit and only has a German passport as it was always possible to travel via free-movement and then after Brexit without issue by using the digital visa to the UK.

The new rules now apply to her, meaning we had to get a million things exensively translated, stamped, signed and sent off to the UK and apply for an official passport in order to not get slapped with a big fine, or worse, stranded each time she travels.

For us, it was not a non-issue and is unnecessary red-tape, and I have a feeling it is only done to artificially keep some migration figures down.

Whatever. Done now. /rant
