My thread is doing for diplomatic relations, what pickled onions would do for trifle.
Not at all, it is useful to understand irony when you see it.
I've only gone and got Dyshidrotic eczema :/ how idiotic is that!?
Very!! How the heck did that happen??? Oh dear poor you :-(
Dyshidrotic eczema, or dyshidrosis, is a skin condition in which blisters develop on the soles of your feet and/or the palms of your hands. and may be related to seasonal allergies or stress.
Neither stress nor pollen counts have affected you before. Most odd.
We could be talking Vacuum cleaners as a useful invention.
Whatever it may be, it has that bitter aftertaste I don't like.
As I said it IS a hard cider which are noted for their lingering tang. The word apple should have forewarned you.
I advise you to order those for me one at a time. After I spit out the initial mouthful of the first couple, you may decide I'm hopeless and save yourself the cost of the rest of them.
If after trying some different beers you don't like them then fair enough. Nobody is hopeless because they don't like beer. Many prefer to be wine drinkers, many are spirits drinkers as in Scotch afficionados.
I also tend to shun dishes with wine sauces. At restaurants, I think something on the menu looks good until I see that there's wine in the sauce and then I move on. I would give the trifle a chance.
Gosh you really are difficult to please aren't you :-))) Of course you could just ask for it without the sauce, as indeed many do.
That such pursuits appeal to you, Sir, does not make your predilections mine. :-(
As I expect you very well know Sir, those were comments made about the two countries previously referred to, not to your individual self. My own tastes in animal sports and bartering are quite different I can assure you :-)

Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
Well I tried paddling my hands in some. It gave some relief :) thank you, Carlos. So did the banana skin. That was another last resort I tried afterwards... when the first last resort stopped being a resort.

With the pickled onions I can't recommend, David. I can for its appearance over scrumpy though, which looks like someone, most probably from Cornwall due to the accent requirements, has thoughtfully cleared their throat into it before serving it to you. That's the stuff you strain through your teeth.
The drink's perpendicular-is-impossible feature means it's best to have at least two people with you the first, and quite probably the last time you're taken in by the phrase "you must try this". You won't know you want them there though, so one of them should ideally, have been pre-trained to ignore you up to a point (like an other half for example - or a good friend) otherwise they could do as you ask and leave you to die where you are.
Annie's late edit whilst I was typing and editing pretty much wipes out my guesses, I guess.
Yes it did. You will be pleased to know that you're welcome though :)
From a timeline point of view - the vacuum cleaner was invented too early by fewer decades than the e-cigarette was invented too late, Jonathan. But the microwave was invented too late by less time than the vacuum cleaner was early.

What could be interesting to look into is the inside the outdoors property it had...

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Some are already digging holes :-)))
Annie's description of scrumpy is spot on, so I reckon she's tried some. Usually Cornish landlords only serve their home made brew to regulars whom they know can take their beer. Many many years ago I and a couple of pals were in a Helston pub and drinking Devenish bitter, which is about on par with Watney's Red Barrel, and moaning about being coloured water. The guvnor said OK lads, try this then. We only got a wineglass full each, but strewth that was enough! It hits the back of the throat like a high strength Polish vodka and does peculiar things to your knees, so they have a propensity, to obey the laws of gravity.
You can buy commercial stuff but it is nowhere near the same.
Now I don't want to win, but it might be useful to help along others to solve it more quickly. Right so here goes.
Vacuum Cleaner 1901
Microwave 1946
E ciggies 2003
From the clues given it is between 1901 and 1946, and further, likely to be late 1920's or 1930's. Items that fall into that era are the Jet engine, Ball point pen, and Television.
What could be interesting to look into is the inside (of?) the outdoors property it had...
You can look into a TV and see an outside broadcast. And the static collects dust. So does anyone want to suggest TV's?
c'mon hurry up people, Mike is running out of paper in his typewriter, and his sergeants uniform is getting too tight from eating too many carrots.
You can eat the duck while the tape may just be the most useful invention of all time since you can actually build anything with it!
Actually an engineer only needs 3 items in their toolkit, If it moves and it shouldn't use duct tape*, if it doesn't move and it should use WD40. Else bang it with the hammer.
*Duck tape was used during WWII as an adhesive tape based on a cotton duck cloth backing. Post war it became generally used to construct air conditioning ducts and then became known as duct tape. In America the original name has stuck (pun intended). A variation is Gaffer tape and from the original, Scotch tape or Sellotape came about.
