Two points. First, when you ring up, just say you were ringing about the car for sale. Do not specify what car. If they are a dealer pretending it is a private sale, they will usually have to ask you what car you mean. Cut the call, they are trying to shift a car that would fail a warranty.

Second, if you really have no clue, book one of the roadside rescue services to go with you when you are very interested in a particular car. They will know the common faults of all major makes like the backs of their hands. The problems they point out will provide a point of negotiation of the fee of them coming with you off the price.

Some lobsters are blue before you cook them, but they go red in the heat.

I would take it to a photocopier shop, or someone with a flatbed scanner and get the best quality scan of it they can offer. It will be far superior to anything a phone can capture. This will be better without the frame if it is not flat, but make no attempt to remove the photo from the glass, it will just get damaged.

You should give his and the bands name, someone here will remember him/them.

"Olive Oil" is quite an understatement of the sauce ingredients, just going on what I can see.

so you can change my "Irish people speak Gaelic", which is factual based on self reporting in the 2016 Irish census with your " There is only 10’s of thousands of native Irish speakers left" opinion? You not only use no source, but also change the parameters. I notice I always get downvoted when I use checked facts on here. I left Ireland when my son was 5 years old, but he could already talk in Irish to our older neighbours son to a small extent. If we had stayed there I suspect he would easily have become bilingual, as he now is in French as the 2nd language.

You are way off the mark there. 1.9 million Irish people speak Gaelic, and the Gaeltacht area is massive. Last official Welsh government estimates are at 538,000, and they would tend to err on the generous side, because "government". Ireland has a population of just over 5 Million, compared to Wales just over 3 million.

Fascinating to know this fact about the language. I wonder if there are any monolingual Welsh speakers left. I've lived all over the British Isles and my father was bilingual Irish.

I know it's virtually impossible to obtain certain jobs in Cardiff without speaking Welsh from living there and seeing who got what jobs in the arts and media. A glass ceiling definitely existed amongst non welsh speakers, and I knew that the monolingual audience was tiny to non existent, but the principle of keeping the language alive was the point, I assume.

Yes a good tip, and also, I am so glad I took digital pictures of the contents of our family photo album when our mother went in to an old peoples home (we are three surviving brothers, and one of the others lost the actual book when moving house). They were the basis of the background at Moms funeral, and her sole living sister was delighted to see pictures from their childhood onwards.

Top left was a family portrait, but unfortunately the son ate the dad. Mom still looking terrified.

Doing this, and wearing a woolly hat as well. Works fine.

Seconding that, and adding Happy Valley. Have you already seen Line of Duty?

A friend of mine went to Japan in the late 80s, and came back with a slimmer laptop than this, with a printer built in.
