I once watched him talk to a group of 16-19 yr old students. When asked why he wasn’t backing Corbyn he said he wouldn’t back an ‘old white guy’. Discriminating based on three protected characteristics is no way to talk politics with young people, I found him disappointing.

This is known as a thought terminating cliché. They can be more than just annoying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thought-terminating_cliché

This is such a shame, I love Neal’s Yard. You go in there, and they just keep handing you little pieces of different delicious cheeses until you crumble and give them all of your money. It’s such a charming way of doing things, I overspend every single time, and never regret it.

‘Oranges and lemons say the bells of St Clements’ but like it’s from the minaret of a mosque run by the hard of hearing. It’s aggressive.

SKATE 2 had a totally banging soundtrack. No Swift. She has a terrible reach into the skate game history books.

I reckon you can still do it. Buying lumps of sawn hardwood is expensive, but if you start looking for what people throw away you can do it.

Feels like a super power when you’re scuba diving and you see all the other divers holding their noses!

I went to a party in the top bit once. It’s just a sort of empty corridor that you can hire. Amazing views down the river.

The man is in the wrong shoes both figuratively and literally. Literally just seems funnier sometimes.

I’d add Hey Duggee! It’s a BBC CBeebies thing, me and my kids loved it pre - Bluey, and it still hits a spot.

He’s right. Get rid of the Tories, then apply pressure to Labour. It’s the only viable option. If anyone has any suggestions on a realistic alternative I’d love to hear it.

One evening I built a campfire to keep warm on the banks of a river in southern France. As the fire got going, millions of moths poured from the trees into the flames. As the numbers increased the flames leapt higher, and the moths became the fuel. The horror, the horror…
