Maybe they're Swiss? It's used like that there.
We returned it and they promptly threw it back out again :/
I went to one of their shows a couple of years ago, they distributed cheese slices to the audience. And then accidentally a bag of weed.
...no it isn't? At least not in the UK.
To "work like a Trojan" means to work very hard, so I assume they were aiming for that... kind of unfortunate with the other connotation :)
As a British English speaker, for a second I thought you were taking things a little too far.
Some places in France do it too.
IMO simply using IRL here wouldn't make it clear enough for those unfamiliar with the situation. But that is just my opinion.
(and I'm not sure how many people would recognise the abbreviation IRO, I probably wouldn't have got it immediately and I'm from there)
... In this instance, for clarity I felt it was better to use the descriptor.
Why do you need to specify the country if you're in the UK? It's all the same price anywhere you are!
Re N. Ireland/RoI, to send to RoI is the same price as sending to the rest of Europe. To/from NI to/from rest of UK is all the same.
During a meeting on my undergraduate dissertation, I was told "no no don't write 'intercourse', put 'fucking'!" ...from a 70+yo professor.
The rosy colour is from exposure to sunlight so I'm guessing some kind of sticker cutout to block the light.
Now I want to write cryptic sunburn messages on apples and leave them for strangers to find.
*thy, thine is used like mine, or sometimes preceding a vowel. Neither case applies here.
