    The last concert that you went to will be the new soundtrack to the last movie you watched. Do you think the result will be pleasing?
    In my case, "One Battle After Another" will now have music provided by the Red Hot Chili Pipers! I think it would work because it would reinforce the goofiness and improbability of the film.

I told him that I was seriously worried about the state of his mental health and advised him to seek therapy. His response wasn't what I was expecting - the classic denial, anger, reverse attack. Instead, he came out with a bizarre string of irrelevancies that had little or nothing to do with what we'd just been talking about. If he was trying to reassure me as to his mental state, he was doing a very poor job of it.He doesn't seem depressed or anxious, but I can see a pattern of self-sabotaging behavior in his life which has recently worsened. It was this, together with some weird or inappropriate things he had said or done the last few times we met, that prompted my concerns. I suspect this is all caused by unacknowledged childhood trauma. I recently learned that he had had a troubled childhood, being abandoned by his father at the age of around 7 or 8, was in a children's home for a time and later did a spell in reform school (juvie).

Up until at least my mid-30s, my limited social skills and underdeveloped emotional intelligence would probably have made me undatable. I have been on an upward trend since then, many aspects of my life have improved and I feel I can carry myself pretty well in social situations, but I may give off subtle clues in body language and facial expressions.

    Usually between "not very" and "mild". Might stretch to "kind of hot" for noodle-based dishes, especially if the sauce contains coconut milk, as that way the creaminess and oiliness of the sauces somewhat offsets the capsaicin in the chili peppers.

Be realistic - you're not going to get an aristocrat or a movie star to buy your car.11) Don't seal the deal on a first date meeting with a potential buyer.

    Do movie producers all have a sock phobia or something?

  • In the jurisdiction where you live, is it legal for businesses like barbershops, nail salons and carwashes to operate on a cash-only basis?

No explanation was given. The transaction was more than £5, which some businesses set as the lower limit for card payments. Had the barber told me that the card reader was broken, I might have believed him, but even this would have been a poor excuse, because with 4 or 5 people working there you'd expect them to have more than one card machine. If this had been eight or nine months ago, I would have been surprised, but with people increasingly using contactless payments even for small transactions since the start of the pandemic, a business refusing to take cards is an anachronism, and it makes me wonder whether there's something else going on.Do you think this could be a sign that the business is a money-laundering operation?  less

Poitín (pronounced "potcheen") is a kind of Irish hard liquor made from potatoes, so it would make sense in context.
