But not together.
New Partner had her smart meters installed yesterday following a
profitable cock-up on Eon's part (they failed to show up for the first
appointment so £30 compensation and by the time she rescheduled they are
now offering £50 per meter incentive). But that's not the point - umrats
in the past have (IIRC) said that they have been unable to have meters
installed in subterranean outside boxes. Her gas meter was just such a
one and was swapped out with no problem and a comment of "We do this all
the time". Don't let the buggers fob you off.
Unrelatedly as she emerged in a state of deshabille I remarked that she
looked better than Farage "and with less obnoxious opinions". I have in
the past said that there were very few occasions where the distinction
between less and fewer matters. This is one. Had I said she held fewer
obnoxious opinions it would imply that she did have opinions I found
obnoxious but not as many as Nigel whereas less obnoxious implies that
the opinions she has are not as unacceptable as his.
This is because fewer qualifies countable entities (opinions) while less
qualifies continuous ones (the degree of obnoxiousnessosity). DINTAFBAPOU?

Oh.
Why did you spell it so strangely?
Vaguely reminds me of Freffly posh, but with spelling errors.
Anyway, it's just an emphatic NO.
Not sure where it fits in the post though, doesn't occur in the song.

On the subject of Smart meters I have this morning had a phone call from
Ovo (other suppliers are available) which commenced with the obligatory
warning that all calls are recorded for training purposes (or similar).
The caller wished to advise me that to aid my journey to net zero he had
engineers in my area installing smart meters.
I asked him how a new meter would aid my personal journey to net zero
and he started blathering about the additional information on
consumption would enable Ovo to plan energy purchasing to minimise prices.
So I asked him to stop talking about Ovo and explain how it would aid my
personal journey to net zero as per his earlier statement.
He suggested that the meters would tell me when I was consuming
additional energy that I did not need to consume. I pointed out that
the meters could not tell what was consuming the energy and so whilst I
might know what the consumption was there was no way of knowing what was
undertaking the consumption.
After a couple of minutes of this he decided he had had enough.

But, what is "Kranj"? There is a town of that name in Slovenia, but they don't use Cyrillic in Slovenia any more than we do.

From the context, it must be 'mud'.

Yes, I think so. In some of the recordings, Swann sings a verse in
Russian, and the above was my poor memory phonetic attempt to reproduce
what he sings. (I recently found one of those recordings, and my attempt
wasn't very good.)

crime comedy film of that name that was released as “Filth” in the
Anglophone version.

cranium, which makes a sort of sense, but it doesn't seem too
convinced since inverting the translation gives 'lobanja' for
cranium. Maybe kranj is colloquial Slovenian. You do have to wonder how
many Slovenian advisers Google has.
