    Yes, my curiosity was about when we run out, because I didn’t know if we would run out. That was the whole point of the question. Have some leniency, we’re not all experts about ev…

    Why is it a US corporation’s job to unfuck UK laws? If they did get involved, you’d blast them for meddling.

    I’ve traveled all over the world and the French were by far the biggest assholes I’ve encountered, especially in hospitality.
