      @steelworker. Being from VA/WV I may have had squirrel gravy once or twice in my youth 🙂

          That’s what my dad taught me during the 70’s, early 80’s and you did what you had to. He did everything under the sun to put food on the table and taught me how to never go hungry. With a fishing pole, .22lr, and the ability to plant a garden, you’ll never go hungry.

            I once did a 'survival' weekend course with my boys. The guy (an ex-special forces) told us you need 22 squirrels per day to feed your daily needs of calories. European squirrels may be smaller than American, but I your dad must have been a good shooter.

            (We ate rat on that weekend.)

              That’s an awful lot of squirrels.

                        Well... No more shopping at Albam Clothing (UK)... 124€ import fee for a rather small order... I ordered there in December '22 and didn't have to pay owt... Weird...

                        A crying shame, really... Can't be good for their business if us (real) €uropeans can't even order...

                          It's a Brexit thing. I have been accused of being too openly pro-remain, but I still have not heard a single positive argument for leaving. It's not good for The EU and it's not good for The UK. A month or two after the split, I was contacted by a Dutch jeans maker, prior to Brexit, The UK had been his largest market when he wrote to me, he had not sold a single pair to the UK since the split.

                          If the items you bought were made in UK, you should not have been charged Duties, but VAT would have been due. If the items were not made in The UK or EU, you would have to pay Duties and VAT.

                          And not charging you anything in Dec 22, was pure luck 🙂

                            What a mess this whole ordeal has been... But yeah: on top of the disadvantageous exchange rate, I can't possibly shell out for the import fees... No dice, Tony Rice...

                                A boy in my youngest daughters class grabbed my daughter by the throat and said "I wish you were dead" during recess yesterday. I'm trying very hard not to go into full dad protectionist mode.

                                Teachers and the principal are involved and trying to sort everything out. I am awaiting their responses....

                                  ...she's fine and tough as nails. We also had a very long talk about using force to get out of bad situations when needed.

                                      @goosehd I feel for you. Had the talk with my older kid many times, he's 11 now and gets targeted by bullies often. Kids are cruel. No, fuck that - humans are.

                                        My little girl is only 3.5 months old, but I can feel your rage @goosehd. Going full dad-rage, hulk-smash mode (Edit: at the teachers) used to get my dad results when I was a kid and got bullied at school.

                                          P.S. 7 is a good age to start brazilian jiu-jitsu. My little one will be going once she's old enough.
