Yeah, but at least they have records of everybody who rode the Moscow subway...

Well, that's easily done - in that case, we're talking about a manageable number of people!

well we can assume that it more than 10 as we only have a total of 8 fingers and 2 thumbs (this much detail was for the internet factually correct police) and less than the population of the Earth.
This is Paris we are talking about

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Since returning from lunch, I've had four invitations to various Christmas dos as well as a house warming. I now have 14 different functions over the Advent period and not one of them will be dry.
Woe, woe and thrice woe.

Last saturday I got the opportunity to see the distillery of Dettling[^] and could taste some of their various Kirsch products. Some fine specimens out there
I didn't even like Kirsch until then. Probably always got some cheap stuff...

10 Minutes away from my home, did you get to taste the Dettling Silber?

I do, but unfortunately I'm cooking it for supper tonight...

I swapped rooms to join a project team, in the new room we've Radio 6 which is much less irksome than Radio 1.
They've just played Tavener's "The Protecting Veil" (presumably because the old fella kicked it yesterday), you wouldn't get that on the plebcast.

My knee jerk reaction was "No, I don't think so", but considering the content I'll bugger you in a totally bro/non-Camden way. John Tavener[^] was a man who took hold of life's tapestry and provided the score.

I was in town doing some light shoplifting and on the way home popped in to see Dad; he's all alone since Mum left him*. He was very pleased to see me as he didn't fancy going to the pub alone...
* She's gone to Norn Iron to see 'The Family' and Dad, wisely, chose to stay well out of that clusterelephant.

It's more the point that even after nearly 50 years he still can't fathom out what the elephant is going on once they're all up to full speed. Mum is the eldest and she rules her brother, niece and nephews. Sometimes the spouses try to provide an opinion but they're wrong. Even if they agree with her.

Let me guess talks badly about one relation, niece/nephew agrees based on there limited contact with said relation "Oh so now your an expert..." and on (happened to me!). I'm the only male in the generation so that causes issues ! You can pick your friends, you can pick your enemies, your stuck with your family!

Unfortunately, I was using it in place of a step-stool whilst installing some closet lighting.
I had been using a step stool for the previous installations yesterday, but Mrs. Wife wanted this one higher up the wall. The bar stool provided that extra height so I could drill straight pilot holes.
So, after finishing the in-closet portion I grabbed my tools and stepped back for that step that was not part of the bar stool. Nothing broken aside from the 1/16" (ca. 1.6mm) drill point still in my drill. All joint on the left side of my body met, in turn, with the hardwood floor.
Serendipity: I fell right next to the inflatable mattress currently serving as our bed. An easy crawl to where I spent the next several hours. At least the pain didn't keep increasing as these things are apt to do. They do, however, remain sensitive.
Moral of My Story: Bar Stools have a specific purpose. Stick to it.

You will be hard pressed to find a man who hasn't fell off a bar stool at least once.
It was broke, so I fixed it.
