When someone waits till the last moment of the day to send you a work email, to which you reply instantly only to get an "out of office for a long weekend" reply. Twats Can you call a woman a twat?

The two that voted for you are solid, though, Pete, good result ...

I am guilty of sometimes medicating with wine. Sometimes I would need a sleeping aid or something calming, but wine is more fun than that. Falling asleep without trying or difficult thoughts is great for me, though, so it is difficult to let go of it, but I was sort of spiraling a little out of control so am now enforcing a little self control over a few days.

I think it depends on your need for it, more so than even volume. If you need it to get through the night or to cope with something, I would say yes even if it's just one drink. If you can just drink something non alcoholic for a few days and feel no real need for it, I would say no.

Didn't take long So the government announced that the man in charge of the whole vaccination thing, who is an Admiral, was to be promoted to chief of the armed forces, being the highest ranking military person in Portugal, and would replace the current one. Later the same day the President came out to say nothing was going to be done without his say so, and that there is no reason to demote the current chief after only being there for 3 months and having done nothing wrong (except criticize a couple of things the government did). What a shit show these politicians put out

wow wow wow, "billy liar" is maybe taking things too far with the insults, better calm down

Nice work with the blue lines there!

I am all for Sofia winning, having voted for her, but I don't get what's all this talk about my ass today

It really needs a four cylinder, though. On the other hand, it's really nice that it's got round brake discs ...

Having a cardboard box strapped to the back to carry provisions while on the road does not equal a big ugly top box

I got it, it was a funny ...

I realize this link is blocked, but I think you can see it on youtube if you click the link. It's the last three laps of the Aragon GP this year, and the great battle in which Marc Marquez tries to repeatedly pass Pecco Bagnaia only to be passed back by Pecco. The fun thing about this clip is that the commentary alternates between the enthusiastic but neutral English oficial MotoGP world transmission, to the very analytical French, to someone speaking Spanish, to the Italians in which one of them is absolutely loosing his shit over Pecco holding his own!

anyone on here

It’s a bit of a stretch but you’ll get there in a bit

That would be a literal translation but not how you would read it in Portuguese

A few years ago, my last name is Rocha, means Rock. The sign says Strong Rock

Portugal, not usually being a country known for it's effectiveness in anything except Ronaldo kicking in football goals, has pulled something amazing: https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations It's a testament to our military who have always come through when called upon, but at the same time I'm waiting for the coin to drop

Today it's 8.64 million people fully vaccinated, total population living in Portugal is 10.35 million, so including every portuguese citizen living here, I don't know if it does include foreigners, but I do know most foreigners living here have been vaccinated according to their age group without problems. 95000 people are late to show up for their second vaccine and are holding back reaching the 85%, twats!

Within a week it is estimated Portugal will have 85% of it’s population fully vaccinated, the Admiral in charge has therefore quit the task force after changing from his camouflage to the navy’s whites. Dude is a class act!

Are you calling my seat big or small

I'll vote for Sofia, I think that bike looks mean with those crash bars on. I do like the sunset picture though.

I think you will all be swimming in money, big boobs and MV Agustas in a couple of years, once all that money from the US, India, Australia thing starts flowing through the UK. This is nothing but a hiccup in turning the empire back on.

I think one reality that evades people living in countries that are desirable by foreign workers, is that they think those workers want to move there forever, in fact most people just plan on working hard and saving hard for a few years, and then make it back home with some cash in their pocket to allow them to start a business or whatever. A study was made in the US about immigrants from Mexico and more southern countries, that you would get less of a population of illegals if you opened the borders and allowed people to come in and out as they needed and as the work market demanded them, this would allow them to return home for periods instead of fearing to be locked out. Very few Portuguese, Greeks, Italians, Spaniards, Moroccans, etc, really want to go to the UK, Germany, Netherlands, to make a life and stay there forever, most would miss their reality too much, their plan is usually to come back. The value those temporary workers provide to a country's economy is huge. Of course nobody wants to go back to an unsafe war zone but that's another issue.

Two or three years ago there was a strike here too, for HGV drivers of dangerous loads, fuel being the most significant. I did have enough fuel on the car to go home and there I had the GS fully fueled, and went on a trip enjoying my 600km autonomy on back roads It did get ugly, once planes started getting grounded for having no fuel and the army started doing the minimum service transport some people got really agitated, but Portugal being Portugal all was well after a couple of days
