So long as it is stored at normal room temperature or below, it lasts for several years. High temperatures, like leaving it in the sun, can trigger bacterial spores to germinate (it is not truly sterile).

The same thing happened to the Labour Party when Ed Milliband changed the rules for leader election and arch Brexiter Corbyn was elected party leader. With competent opposition, we might not have had Brexit.

Johnson's weak language skills remind me of those of Russell Brand - they use the same technique. He substitutes obscure and inappropriate words into otherwise banal sentences, attempting to appear profound and witty. Pure catachresis.

Low population density, too. Sweden is twice the size of the UK but has a population of 10 million people. Stockholm county has the same population density as Yorkshire - totally different environment to Greater London for example.

I think it is stressful in the UK because the roads are so busy, not because the standard of driving is poor. Some areas do seem to have really bad driving - Birmingham is atrocious.

He is grounded if he does that, and stuck in a backward hellhole. Billionaire lifestyle goes down the drain, and also the oligarchy will be after his money. That is why he is risking trial in France - the least bad option.

I expunged it in 1999. Have only run Linux at home since then. Clunky in the old days but very smooth nowadays. Horrible when I have to go back to Microsoft.
