Eels are frequently active during thunder storms...a fact that the premodern English used extensively as a metaphor!
In 1604 John Hanson used the image of eels roused by thunder to describe Catholic priests coming out of their slimy caves to spread their heresy in the world.

I'd very much like to know where this image originated, as it seems the bottle has been enhanced with paint on the letters and it's become accepted as 'exactly like the one in the case', but is it?

Not a fan of the kids using "boy sober" as a cutesy way to describe being single and not dating. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our traditional identity of "independent hag sitting atop gnarled clifftop tree, swooping down on leathery wings to scoop up her enemies in her terrible claws"

I saw one of those Joy-free Grey Ball Pits being purchased yesterday.
The poor kid was having a tantrum too.
Can't blame them - they were probably overwhelmed by all the colour they were being exposed to in the outside world.
