I’m sorry about my Becky tears but it’s not my fault: I’m a water sign.

I’ve never been able to get over that. I was convinced it was satire when I first heard about it! Talk about chutzpah …

Unless they’re Palestinian. Then y’all celebrate them as ‘freedom fighters’ and ‘martyrs’.

“Limp wristed” used to be a pejorative for homosexual.

Good night sir.

My grandfather was in Auschwitz and Mauthausen so I’m not a fan of idiotic Holocaust minimisation that casts Starmer’s government as pro-concentration camps & transbloody genocide. Your hyperbole is offensive AF.

I’m serious: I’m a pothead looking for a new strain. What’s yours called?

Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

Ted Danson was a student at Stanford at the same time Alexander Kerensky - the head of the Russian provisional government in 1917 - was a visiting professor. So they may have shared the same canteen or attended a talk.

Been to the youngest’s harvest assembly.
Theory: every primary school built pre about 1980 in Britain has some version of this equipment. It is referred to as something like ‘the apparatus’.
No one has any memory of it ever being used.
