On the way to the airport. Is it bad that I am delighted to have an unchatty taxi driver?

It's submission day (my first ever), and Outlook has decided not to let me attach any Word Docx files (just Word). I could not find any answers on the internet; does anyone have any ideas?
I'm starting to think it might be a message.

I absolutely refuse to download any app that advertises itself as having ‘no annoying ads’ when it’s in an annoying ad itself!

One of the terrible ironies is that Reform’s leader, Nigel Farage, is now capitalising on the unpopularity of a government whose laudable aims have been frustrated by the economic damage caused by a Brexit behind which he was the prime mover.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

I’m feeling rather disgusted that there’s no access to any Ashes highlights on UK terrestrial television! Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

The fact that Donald Trump gets to sue anyone for "false, defamatory, disparaging and inflammatory statements" about him flabbergasts me.
Thats all he ever does to everyone else. He seems to have made his fortunes from suing people. Which speaks volumes.

I can always tell when I'm editing a manuscript if the author is a reader or not. In no instance, has the non-reader produced a superior work.
Ironically, I can't really put it into words how I know or what the difference is. I just do know.

The Middle English word ‘bede’ meant “prayer.”
People started to keep track of their prayers with a string of little balls.
We now call those little balls “beads.”

I’m completely gobsmacked that there can be ‘climate change deniers’ amongst world leaders in this day and age. They, and their citizens, should be f**king ashamed!

It's a shame that the world, if they thought a country had 'problems', couldn't cancel or change the venue of a World Cup.

Can someone who is doing some much harm to the world, and is so damn right detestable, even be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize? It’s beyond a farce!

BBC News and the fake AI voice that they’re now using to summarise reformat original content now means I will no longer watch their news. The voice is annoying. No one cares anymore.

Blue Lights returned and not only lived up to expectations, but knocked the ball out of the park. Superb stuff. Could it be one of the best cop shows for years? Yes!
