Please don't tarnish our beautiful, antiquated British system with such names.

I've scrolled past this a few times thinking the hyphen was a full stop. Now I get the joke!

Do fish fuck? I thought the one laid the eggs and the other spooged on them.

They're excluded, and the rental commission is one of the bodies who's inspected us on the behest of the landlady. There's a little sentence at the end of the report saying something like "we realise that we've inspected the property based on a fraudulent tip-off".

The other thing is that the rental commission come down and measure the place as part of the test, so if it was being used for commercial purposes, we would've been caught red-handed there and then.

I used to be in a group that use it, and it works very well; we made great use of the mailing list feature, which Proton lacks beyond "contact groups". The only thing is getting an invitation, which I seem to recall reading they're not doing any more.

A few years ago, I was working at a restaurant when it went under, so as sous-chef they let me take a few bits home with me. I took 5kg of kimchi home. I used to, like, come home drunk and eat a handful of it out the fridge, haha.

My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas was the mnemonic when Pluto was still a planet. I suppose not totally obsolete but I find myself ending at "nine" instead of something you'd serve beginning with N.

No, I saw the screenshot in the article of "going to PRISON?!?!?!" and thought, you know, I don't think that's all that schocking in itself. Granted it had the look of Tumblr about it and Tumblr's signature move is overreacting, in hindsight.

I don't know about other countries, but in the Netherlands you go to the rental commission for a "rent check": https://www.huurcommissie.nl/support/huurprijscheck
