If one happened to be drinking a bottle of champagne lemon would be tautological and shallot vinegar crucifying.But only if they insist upon zero accompaniments.

Surely an oyster is designed to be the thing in all of nature that is most redolent of its origin. It comes from the sea, (well OK maybe an inlet, or a river mouth or…) not a lemon grove, nor a Sarsons factory next to Tower Bridge, nor a ….If one happened to be drinking a bottle of champagne lemon would be tautological and shallot vinegar crucifying.
I raise you one Bob Willis.*Craig McDermott-esque, by the time you actually reach the day itself
At least, despite all the chronic knee trouble, he managed to charge through the delivery stride with some energy. McDermott always looked like he’d run out of puff a yard early and about to topple over.I raise you one Bob Willis.
Had this also on my flights to and from SF this week, the smell of Brussels sprouts permeates an already fragrant cabin after the bread rolls are eaten...Christmas lunch as the main meal on a BA flight today, Dec 2, pity the poor air crew who’ll have a month of that delight
I don't know about your service provider, but some cases it's just a ruse to make you give up immediately, and if you persist, the phone is answered in a couple of minutes.The phrase 'unusually high call volumes'. I hear this every time I have to call a certain service provider. What it consitutes is a cynical euphemism for 'we've never had any intention of staffing up so that we can handle the normal volume of calls, so we bullshit you about it being unusual while you sit and wait for us to eventually get round to answering the phone'.
A very common phenomenon is the started walker with noise-cancelling headphones/ earbuds. These things can be extraordinarliy effective at blocking noise and I'm sure this includes sirens. Time after time I get sworn at when out running when I've 'crept up' or 'jumped out' (run past) someone completely oblivious to the world around them. On a very narrow trail I had to tap a woman on the shoulder as no amount of progressivly louder requests got through the massive (noise-cancelling) headphones she was wearing. If you don't want to be startled, take your bloody headphones off!The female person who decided that it was her right to march across a zebra crossing near us when the traffic and other pedestrians waited for the fire engine screaming up the road, lights, sirens, the lot.
Even before such headphones, I had problems riding a bike with pedestrians blocking a cycle lane. Ring your bell too early and they don't hear; too close or not at all and you scare them. It was a question of finding the "goldilocks" distance - not easy.A very common phenomenon is the started walker with noise-cancelling headphones/ earbuds.

As someone with chronic sinusitis, I feel your pain. I'm lucky that I'm on the good steroids I'm allowed 3 times a year, but for a good half of the year I can't smell or taste a thing.Having procured food and wines for "The day" only to wake to complete Olfactory shut down
