I was not aware of that - I assumed the terminology arose purely from the 1789 French National Assembly’s seating arrangement and had no precedent. I’ll dig into Wikipedia in a bit.

I’m sure the day of the mountainers will come again - I just hope they grasp the opportunity when it happens.

That’s a great answer.

Safe sailing on the high seas, me hearties.

Did you see the yellow jackets marching with their rolling barbecue fitted on the city’s tram line? Magnificent bastards.

I think they might’ve been referring to the left-right political spectrum. I believe the terminology comes from the seating layout of their post-revolution government.

Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon? The son of an Irish immigrant? He’s not the kind of guy who’d let facts get in the way of an opinion so we’re probably pretty solid saying that in front of him. If he did run his mouth, then I got your back, blud.

“… too lazy to figure things out.” Yup, just like when somebody calls a plumber, or a mechanic or a therapist. Stop being lazy and master something in a field where you have no experience or desire to learn.

Another classic example of a technically correct answer missing nuance and context.

“poorly designed” is perhaps the weirdest complaint I’ve ever heard about London - those pesky Romans should’ve had a better vision for the city rather than the jumbled mess we have 2,000 years later.

I really miss the flashing LED from my BlackBerry Z30 - so long ago.

I’m not a fan either. Rewatched Trainspotting a year or two ago - much better than I remembered. Enjoyed Shallow Grave and 28 Days at the time. The rest I ain’t seen. Tried to watch the Beach but bailed after 20 minutes. Absolute junk.

I personally don’t think Danny Boyle is struggling for attention; one of his films won eight Oscars. I think people in film world know who he is.

Because of the camera they used? Really?
