Feels like something cracked today in the transatlantic alliance. Europeans have been swallowing their pride, bitting their tongues, and bending the knee. That strategy may have bought them time but it has now clearly failed. It also had a major cost - it has made the WH think Europe will cave. 1/

Very much agree, I hate table seats. Although I accept if you need to work on a laptop while travelling, they are better.

I assume you're the person who goes to the pub once a year, then tries to ruin it for the regulars, and who then moans when pubs close down.

There was a period in the late 80s/early 90s where Radio 1 did comedy series. It was like a cool Radio 4 comedy corner. Blue Jam with Chris Morris, Lee & Herring's Fist Of Fun, The Mary Whitehouse Experience. Good times.
Lee And Herring's Radio 1 show was exactly how you should do comedy on the radio. So many ideas, so much weird and wonderful music that was never treated as being 'above' the jokes, a proper bond with listeners and of course the REAL Rod Hull. HE IS HIM.

Lord, give me the confidence of someone who tries to be pedantic online about the lyrics of a song (and very arguably gets it wrong) and who doesn't know the title of the song.

The local organisation who empties your bins is not your county, they're your council. Not the same thing.

Got to tip your hat to the #safc lads. Coming back from 2 down to win takes something. Running out of compliments to give them! Just need to be more consistent away from home and we can have not just a good, but a magnificent, season!

Slight variation round our way: 'came down from heaven in a Yamaha. Pulled a skid, killed a kid, blamed [insert name of your friend, ideally one with a 3-syllable name] for what he did'

There's a big time gap between sending an immediate response and 'in a few days' that you could utilise without coming across as a bit of a knobhead.

If anything, you should have less baggage allowance as you're already using up a lot more plane weight and space with your body.

You know, if you pass into a higher income tax band, you don't pay tax on all your income at the higher rate! Only on your income above the threshold.

I think the ECB, cricket players, and particularly the women's game for whom it has given a livelihood and profile, might object to it being described as solely existing to sell crisps.

I'd have respected this fess a lot more if it hadn't included keeping 'my carbon footprint down'. Nothing wrong with admitting you don't want to spend time and money going to work, and you'd rather wfh
