Skoda

They're Czech. The name even has a little thing on the S, officially.

I went to secondary school at the turn of the millennium and I remember having to go to admin to get my dinner tickets on a Monday, which were worth £1.30, but there was never any shame in it because I don't think too many kids knew the significance of it; in fact, my mate Danny would always want to buy them off me for £1.50 apiece. This other lad called Liam would sometimes lord it over me because his mum gave him £2 a day for his dinner, but by year 11 he was roundly known as a bit of a prick if I recall correctly, so I was even vindicated in the end.

It means "mixed breed" in Portuguese and Spanish. You'd most often hear the word in South America, where it means some particular mixture of heritage as far as I remember.

I use a computer monitor for my playstation on the rare occasion I switch it on. Very much plug & play.

"Dad's awfully noisy in the toilet these days!" "It's his new bidet! He says it cleans his arse to the bone!" "To the bone, you say?"

To the bone, you say!

That's one of the things that put me off learning Greek in the end. English has unwritten rules about which clusters of consonants can come at the start of a word; Greek not so much.
