Practice makes perfect.
Two weeks holidays. Absolutely perfect weather outside. And what happens? I catch gastroenteritis
Two weeks holidays. Absolutely perfect weather outside. And what happens? I catch gastroenteritis* and am confined to home for the next few days. Thanks a lot, life, for sucking.
*Do you English-speaking people actually use that term in casual speech?
And of course I've already done that. Doesn't give me my much needed quality holiday time right now, though...Ah well, you already knew that.
Gastroenteritis?
Well we do.
British savoury spread Marmite could be illegal in Denmark if it fails to meet safety requirements, officials say. By law, the Danish authorities must give their approval for food fortified by vitamins or minerals before sale. Products with such additives need to be assessed for any potential dangers, the Danish Food and Veterinary Administration says. Denmark has previously banned several popular items, including the drink Ovaltine and some breakfast cereals. A shop in Copenhagen was recently asked to remove its supplies of Marmite following a phone call from Danish authorities, the owner says. A spokesman for the Danish Food and Veterinary Administration said: "We have no record of an application for the sale of the product, so we have neither forbidden or accepted it."
The procedural checks needed before a final decision is reached could take up to six months. If a ban is put in place, outraged fans of the spread in Denmark are threatening a campaign of civil disobedience, the BBC's Europe correspondent Chris Morris says.
Nutritionist Melanie Brown told the BBC she believed a ban on Marmite, which is rich in B-vitamins such as riboflavin and niacin, would be counterproductive. "Marmite plays such a useful part in many people's diet, and in my practice it's incredibly useful for older people...who are short in vitamin B12. It's full of folic acid, and there's lots of evidence that many women, young women of child-bearing age are deficient in folic acid," she said.
What kind of car is that? Looks kinda like a McLaren to me, but I can't quite tell.
Maserati something (Granturismo?)
Wow you parked next to a Honda Civic.... Oh... so your car isn't the silver one.
<sigh> Someday.... <dreams of engine noise and sad envious friends>
:O It's a Maserati Granturismo of course!
Double .... I thought this was a car forum!!!

Worse than that is being a valet, I have a friend who valeted in high school at Medinah, which is Chicago's hyper-rich country club with yearly dues around like 65K. He would get to drive Ferrari's, Aston's, 911 GT2's and Maserati's: all at around 6 miles per hour into the parking lot. That would be torture of the highest order for me.
Sigh, right there with you. My old basement apartment in Rockridge faced the country club, so every weekend, Maserati engines would roar by. *tingle tingle*
I fail at car identity game too.
I got it right when I saw one in my mirror in person though. Way easier to identify from the front.

I would end up with cramps in my calf muscles from fighting the urge to floor it. :lol:
I saw one on a B highway on the way to school.
