The Norn Irish ones are more potent and flavoursome in my humble opinion.

I'm all about Tayto, king of crisps.

I live in a small rural community (up North) and don't find any of this to be true, except for the trains bit (I drive so don't really use trains) and maybe the Facebook bit as I've never used it. The housing is cheaper than it is in the nearby cities and towns. My village has queer people, young, old, ethnic minorities, and pretty much everyone gets on. The whole cops thing isn't true at all; small communities by and large have friendlier and more welcoming people than cities in my experience. And countryside is objectively a nicer environment than urban sprawl, and better for you to boot. The view from the back of mine is fields with cows and woods, and I'd take that over a train line or tower block any day of the week.

I can't stand wine (it's all vinegar to me, regardless of the price tag), but I know some connoisseurs who say there are plenty of good boxed wines. I don't think the container signifies the quality. My wife says one of the best wines she ever had was a 6 euro bottle of french table wine, better than a 150 euro bottle I got for her birthday.

But you legally own your house if your name is on the title deeds. The deeds say I am the owner regardless of whether there is a mortgage or not. The mortgage is recorded on the title deeds, but it doesn't change the fact that I am the owner. I can do whatever I want with it.

In essence, I have a loan against it but in extremis, the bank can force me to sell. I would get anything over the loan amount I sold it for but the bank would have no reason to do this if I continue to pay.

I asked my dad and his brother did it to him in the mid 60s. A classic prank.

I'm still confused. I own my houses and cars. I'm still paying for one of my houses (the one my mum lives in) but it's legally mine as long as I continue to pay the mortgage.

Please clarify. I'm confused as headphones won't change your skull shape, as far as I know.

Amateur!

Raised on tea. Elixir of the gods. And the water in it is still water. I'm well hydrated.

For suggestions, a good standard daily tea is Yorkshire Tea Biscuit Brew (it has malt in the brew so tastes like Rich Tea biscuits), and good Northern Irish teas are Punjana and Nambarrie.

Being Northern Irish, I was raised on tea and drink 8 to 10 cups a day. Can't say I've ever noticed this. Where it is imbibed has no influence on the taste of it.
