Germany still has restaurants with smoking sections. For some weird reason nobody seems to have heard of passive smoking.

My parents went there a while ago. They hated it.

I see this comment so often and I’ve never experienced it. People have actually been lovely most of the time. I’ve been to Paris, Normandy, Brittany, the Auvergne, Corsica, Marseille, Chamonix, etc. No problems.

In the Auvergne I went to visit a castle with my little boy, and the gates closed just as we got to the front of the line. The guy who was one of their role players (they have a “Medieval” court there in summer) gave us a personal tour.

Laws don’t matter. The government is breaking laws left, right and centre.

The brain runs on carbs.

Which definitely explains some people.

Nah. I’m post menopausal. I don’t want to see shit like that

I’m a translator. I translate everything you can possibly think of. HSE documents, emails to illicit lovers, websites, I’m your person.

Mussolini was beaten to death and strung up by his ankles.

Nah. Intrusive thoughts are a bitch.
