      Just learned what a boffin was… hadn't heard that term until today.

        What is a boffin?

        Also, people who hold internet grudges are silly.

          A boffin is British slang for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific work. The original World War II conception of war-winning researchers means that the character tends to have more positive connotations than related characterisations like egghead, nerd, or geek. -per wikipedia

            I want to have Sir Ben Ainslie's children….....

            You're in luck, I have them, they're a mate and I'll swap them for a pair of 666's, new or used.

                    je peux te comprendre Eli…
                    but try to read some chapitres in french...
                    i have the same situation with James Ellroy.
                    the french traduction is top.
                    but to read some chapitres in "his language" is really something!
                    i try it...

                          Because of the tax laws, I think, I didn't read the article but I think I read a similar one. I guess tax laws are crazy for people living abroad but are still American citizens

                            This is about expatriates though, wouldn't apply.

                            Probably because of different reasons. Unfortunately some fucksticks likely have very bad ones.

                              Ever seen one of those nature shows where two male animals compete to establish dominance?  I'm at a "social gathering" and two guys at my table are doing it.  I'm starting to expect one of them to head butt the other any minute.

                              I plan to get wasted on free margaritas and watch the show.
