I'll check my coffee tomorrow morning with a thermometer.

You know where that thermometer has been. :x

In my meat.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

The idea of having special treatment for former members of the military being so ingrained that they even have special parking spots and discounts in normal shops would strike people from most countries as very weird. Its like something from Starship Troopers.

I have another set that's an interview with Albert Speer, like eleven pages. If anyone cares, I can post it too.

What do Veterans get in most countries? Spittle in their faces? Because parking spots or a small discount is hardly a huge deal, especially one that would rise to the status of 'very weird'.

There's even an Oystercard in London just for vets and their families.

I have never heard of veterans' discounts in Hong Kong or China.  The PLA are confined to their barracks in Hong Kong so we almost never see them around.  Never noticed any discounts for the British army back in our colonial days.
