Wait 'til they found out about maps.

If it's not about the craft itself (structure, grammar, punctuation etc), pretty much all writing advice is self-serving bollocks and can be ignored.

Thank you. I'm determined to make it work.

Right there with you. Going booze-free from now on. I'm so sick of feeling like shit for days afterwards... I'm at a gig tonight so that will be a good test.

- Going to a gig tonight and will not be drinking. Let's do this.

Literally just starting my journey, so it's inspiring to see that someone like MF has had the same realisation that's now hit me.

Beneath the cobbled streets of 18th-century Edenkirk, the poor live and die in darkness, crammed into underground vaults where disease, despair, and cruelty thrive. But something far worse lurks below the surface...

Hey, some of us English completely agree with Scotland's right to independence.
Some of us same English would also quite like to move to Scotland permanently...

Yeah, that's appalling and I hope you can overturn it somehow. As a Brit, even the original quote of £13k is unthinkable.
Please don't take my comments as bragging or anything like that - I genuinely hope your politicians see sense and move closer to what we have over here and throughout Europe.

Watching on from the UK, wondering how the fuck this is even under discussion. Healthcare is a basic human right, not a luxury item.
It's disgraceful, abhorrent, and unthinkable for pretty much the entire rest of the planet.

I'm certain you already know this, but it's worth repeating: In the UK, that would have cost nothing. Zero pounds, zero pence.

The very idea that healthcare can be 'taken away' at all is abhorrent and unthinkable to pretty much the entire rest of the planet.
The US needs to do something drastic, or the gap will only get bigger.

I don't even know what's happening here, and I'm not exactly sure I want to...

Here in the UK, the government has just rolled out free breakfast clubs in ALL schools, which is a massive benefit to the kids themselves and also to less well-off and/or single, workong parents.
That's the kind of shit you guys neex, not tacky golden ornaments...

...and even less about who is actually paying the tariffs.

I feel like many Americans miss this important point.
We certainly aren't paying them... (we= 🇬🇧)

My word... I have a heart condition, and the only - ONLY - cost I incur is £9.90 for my medication, 4 times per year.
Thank the old gods and the new for the NHS. 🇬🇧
