Yes, a narrow residential street near here was closed, first just with signs then with an official barrier, when people were using it to bypass a section of road that was closed for several months while water mains were being replaced.

If you've wasted almost as much time on this forum of righteousness as I have, you'll also misread this as "Depraved glass."

Israeli salad is a disappointing mix of 1cm³ pieces of cucumber, watery tomato and green pepper, usually devoid of flavour, used to fill pitta or plates and placate those who believe Health emanates from eating Five Portions of Vegetables per day...

Where did you see this menu? Because I fancy the Russian egg salad, but not if this is, say, the Canaries, and the eggs have come all the way from Russia.

Canary eggs would be a bit small.

The canteen at my place of work today:

Or they had a cold.

I originally read that as "Dadaist Pastries", which I assume means pastries made from cut up bits of other pastries, stuck back together, then served on an upturned urinal.

You don't want a puddle of electrons.

British sockets are shuttered to stop the electrons escaping, aren't they?

They are. Unless someone puts one of those non-compliant cover things in them, and they leak out around the sides.
