Very much so. It can be used as a verb, too, meaning to do something obviously stupid.

Here in Spain Cabron can be used in a teasing way between friends, translated as simply “hard headed”.

I’ve been told the worst thing to call someone here is mal nacimiento.

I’m very glad you’re happy where you are, I wish that were true for all good people :-)

Where I do now, in Catalunya.

However at the moment I have a big house halfway up a mountain, in a national park, surrounded by woods, and I’d rather live close to or in a small-ish town instead … we’re hoping to put the house on the market in a couple of years, once all the outstanding renovations are finished.

In a bad case of “grass is always greener” I currently live in the woods and would like to move to be near or in a small town.

A couple of weeks back I saw my boss hadn’t eaten all her lunch. She said it was because her mother had made it, and always tried to give her too much; just like when she was little.

I replied that my childhood habit was to clear the plate every time, just in case there wasn’t enough next time. She laughed because she thought I was making a joke, and then went really quiet.

Yeah.

Upvote for one of the classics :-)

My current car is an old heap called “Adventure Car” which earned it’s moniker after I did a bunch of off-roading with it, expecting to kill it and then get something newer … it not only didn’t break but is still going strong 5 years later.

Many of my previous cars haven’t had names, but all my motorbikes have.

TBF yellow us pretty awesome

About 1600km, and fuck no. Hit the ground running when I was 16 and never called anywhere home again.

I honestly don’t give a shit about any of that. On screen he comes across as the kind of guy no sensible woman would want to be in a room with alone.

This is the one I’m most in line with … I enjoyed him in the first Guardians movie the first time I watched it, but having seen more of his acting I think that was either dumb luck or great directing.

I actively avoid watching stuff with him in now, including the first Guardians movie. He gives off a bad vibe to me.

Yeah, some kids need persuasion in order to eat a more varied diet, so that’s probably where the thinking comes from, but like anything if taken to extremes it becomes abusive.

Now I’m middle aged and have developed a bunch of food allergies, so I’ve been forced into picky eating :-(

Probably the weirdest thing for me was a lunch supervisor who decided I had to eat liver when that was part of lunch in the small rural primary school I went to.

It always had the texture of a rubber ball and the flavour of stale vomit. So I would be made to sit and look at it on my plate instead of going out and playing with the other kids, for about 30 minutes, once a week.

I wasn’t a picky eater (we didn’t have much money, so that was my main meal of the day, I was always hungry), that was literally the only thing I didn’t want to eat. Other kids weren’t made to eat all of their lunches.

I remember her being really angry about it and standing over me the whole time.

I’d forgotten all about hand pain from forced copy-writing, being a lefty that was a common part of my disliking school

I agree with all this. I also have a soft spot for The Cat Returns because that was the first one I saw, lol

Can confirm. It’s nearly warm enough to break out my Capri jeans :-)

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?

Take a Bow by Muse works almost too perfectly, too
