Yeah, I travelled solo a few times to see if it was for me, and generally it left me feeling very lonely and disconnected from everyone around me, and uncomfortable going anywhere like a restaurant or a bar.

I expected "and there's a group of screaming teenagers in the room with you... This is what it's like trying to make a plan with the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk in the room"

This idea is too good to not exist

I found the concept hard to get a grip on

I would watch this. Especially if it was an angry Brit, rather than a dramatic American. And even more if it didn't keep replaying the same 5 minutes of telly before and after each ad break. And even more if it didn't have an ad break every 10 minutes that lasted 5 minutes.

I literally said this today, to my wife and I meant "an area exactly like a children's playground, but suitably large enough for adults to use".

And still not by voiced languages.

There are a good few Isaac Asimov books like this.

Learning a new language, I can speak and understand pretty well now, but reading is a great way to expand vocabulary I think.

I'm rereading the entire discworld series but in a new language and I'm just loving it. I'm just about to finish equal rites, and I'd honestly forgotten what a joy these books are. I miss Terry Pratchett and his profoundly positive impact on me.

I was just explaining a misunderstanding, that being heckler vs hawker... I think you've replied to the wrong comment?

I think they're referring to hawkers, or people on the streets harassing you to buy something. I don't know why everyone here is calling them hecklers and not confused by that.
