Can I tell you a secret? My least favourite part of NFNF is the publicity. I’ve told everyone how great it is, so it feels like nagging to tell you again.
If you all just subscribed we could stop this right now.
It is PROPERLY amazing, mind you 😉

This school just made an announcement that an entire hallway is closed "due to a bathroom situation," which honestly captures today's vibes with frightening accuracy.

“No…no…no…this won’t do…no…h-m-m-m…ah, this is fine,” he cried triumphantly, holding up a small medallion on a chain. He dusted it off, and engraved on one side were the words “WHY NOT?”
“That’s a good reason for almost anything—a bit used perhaps, but still quite serviceable.”

“Besides,” explained the second, “one word is as good as another—so why not use them all?”
“Then you don’t have to choose which one is right,” advised the third.
“Besides,” sighed the fourth, “if one is right, then ten are ten times as right.”

“You see,” continued the minister, bowing thankfully to the duke, “Dictionopolis is the place where all the words in the world come from. They’re grown right here in our orchards.”
“I didn’t know that words grew on trees,” said Milo timidly.

“Our job,” said the count, “is to see that all the words sold are proper ones, for it wouldn’t do to sell someone a word that had no meaning or didn’t exist at all. For instance, if you bought a word like ghlbtsk, where would you use it?”

Sudden interest in Downton Abbey activated
I still can’t believe when I hear people discuss Downton Abbey no one mentions that in the first series Lady Mary killed a man with her fanny.

I once wrote a literary fiction short story which won third prize in the Willesden Herald competition and got read out loud by a proper actor on the night. I’ve just remembered it got put online.
I am very proud but also might die of embarrassment if you watch it
