I’d like Arsenal to score 5 so that Villa can begin their inevitable slide down to 8th where they belong.

Was having a chat with a non-native English speaker this morning and she used the term ‘over-simplicated’ instead of over simplified and I thought it sounded great.

Oh good god the news about Rob and Michelle Reiner is just unbearably sad.
My absolute favourite director growing up; it’s one of those ‘it can’t be actually true’ moments.

This isn’t a unique observation for sure, but Quentin Tarantino, criticising someone’s *acting*??
Don’t get me wrong I love lots of Tarantino movies, but he’s the worst thing in every one them that he appears in, by a country mile.

I remember where I was when I heard about John Lennon’s death. I was in school assembly and the headteacher talked about it. I loved the Red and Blue albums back then, aged 9. We used to listen to them in the car. It’s the only primary school assembly I think I can remember. youtu.be/uVXR2LYeFBI?...
