A friend of mine was once arrested for knocking over a Spanish supermarket’s display of oranges 🍊. He was charged with Seville unrest.

Dear Russians and other oppressed peoples, got some tea to spill? Dirt to give? Scoop to dish? Whistle to blow? Britain’s spy agency says it’s ready to receive your truth bombs via a new Dark Web portal called “Silent Courier.” Silent but deadly, no doubt. www.reuters.com/world/uk/bri...

I've always taken the rough with the smooth, which makes buying sandpaper quite expensive.

I took an extremely self conscious friend of mine to the funfair to win some prizes, but he refused to have a go.
