I don’t see how the World Cup can go ahead when FIFA’s peace prize recipient has attacked another country: hosting the competition in America would be a mockery of the solemn prize, making it an unserious joke.

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you:
Hi, I'm the Spanish holiday swimming pool.
Aged 4 my holiday friend said he'd push me around the big pool in his little dingy, he could swim, I couldn't. So I jumped in, he moved the boat, eventually rescued from bottom of pool.

Hi, I'm the continuous cord loop on an old school rolled window shade. When I was a toddler, mom heard choking noises and came to the front porch and found me swinging by my neck on the looped window shade cord.

My wife just caught me looking at a barn find TR7 on ebay and gave me "the look". It isn't a good look, so I've closed the tab.
Strong money for a non-runner, but no sunroof is rare. Seems to have been resprayed at some point, flashes of yellow in engine bay.

Look, you can have low taxation or you can have functioning public services. You can't have both. Lots of people, including the UK government, seem to have forgotten this fact. Taxation isn't theft. It's the foundation of society.

Boy2 took this on Saturday, as I had no bloody clue what it was.
Turns out it is a KGM Torres?
I thought it was some special US only Kia or something, and was expecting to be asking @ajpbradley.bsky.social to provide an ID. (We're near a US base)
