where i grew up the tallest landmark was a pair of hills that look like tits
I assume Castle Hill is a hill fort, then?
Queen Cartimandua of the Briganitines is said to have used the hill as her stronghold during the Brigantine Civil War against her ex-husband Venutius.
Cartimandua was a client ruler of the Romans. When she handed the fugitive Caratacus over to Rome, Venutius divorced her. She took his brothers and kinfolk captive, which led to civil war between 55 - 71 AD.
However, no archaeological evidence has been found of this and as the fort was abandoned around 400 BC, it seems unlikely.
I ended up watching a tour of the most expensive house in America last night and felt physically sick. The thing was so excessive I couldn't get my head around it. You'd have to hire a huge team of people just to keep it clean and you'd only ever be occupying a fraction of it at any one time. The place is like a maze.
I heard some interview with him where he said he was selling all his houses and renting cos houses are an "attack vector"And so on. I mean, a guy like Musk who thinks he's a maverick but still has to conform to the expected billionaire house conventions I reckon.
What do you suppose that means?I heard some interview with him where he said he was selling all his houses and renting cos houses are an "attack vector"
He could have side-stepped this thorny problem through the simple expedient of not being an absolute bellend.i think it means that if everyone knows where he lives then everyone who wants to erect a gallows outside, like they did at chez Bezos, or worse, knows where to go.
Could I have foregone the million dollars for a Rustic gigante & chorizo baked beans, 2 poached eggs and bacon on multi grain toast at Citizens of Soho with you?I never buy lottery tickets but bought two last week, figured 1-in-292.2 million odds weren't that bad. If I'd have won, I would have given all the active posters here a cool million each. @sufi might have gotten $2 mil, since he runs the joint.
I hate having to keep repeating this...Could I have foregone the million dollars for a Rustic gigante & chorizo baked beans, 2 poached eggs and bacon on multi grain toast at Citizens of Soho with you?
Stan and all the US folks would go to CBGB’s with you (if it still existed). Can you imagine Stan at Bad Brains? Transcendental mental whereas Gus, solely, would be beyond disgusted
And scared, important adage
Merry Webs begs to differ friendoI hate having to keep repeating this...
Forgo = go without
Forego = go before
Forbear = choose not to
Forebear = ancestor
If it's got an e and thus has the word "fore" in it then it relates to something being before something... if you mean to say something about someone not doing something or the like then you want the spelling with no e ie for
