I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

If the sandwich don’t split, you must acquit
Defense says that the officer's testimony was "very questionable" because he said the sandwich both exploded in spray of mustard and onions and also landed in its wrapper on the ground.

In any sane world the US Government would be nationalising SpaceX on the grounds that it is a critical national asset being run by a madman, and the UK Government would be moving all communications off X because you cannot trust someone with beliefs like this to handle your social media.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

personally, I think meerkats with suspect Russian accents are wildly over-represented in adverts.
Danny Kruger just told Nick Robinson that Sarah Pochin’s remarks weren’t racist because she was “driven mad” not by seeing Black and Asian people on TV but by their “over-representation”. Robinson didn’t ask what’s so maddening about over-representation. Is there a rule adverts have to reflect life?

Look, if Patrick O'Brian could make the War of 1812 last about six years from the point of view of Aubrey and Maturin, I think we can cut Goscinny and Uderzo a bit of slack.
Julius Caesar conquered Gaul in 51 BC and died in 44 BC, therefore all of Asterix's adventures took place over the course of less than seven years, probably much less since Asterix's chieftain was at the battle of Alesia, were it is probable Asterix and Obelix's fathers died. In this essay, I will

On a visit to Bodnant Gardens in Wales recently I noticed several swallows flying to and from nests in the eaves. I used the rapid shooting burst mode on my Canon R7 to get a dozen or so photos and then stacked and merged them in Adobe Lightroom to get a composite showing the birds' flight paths.

Jenrick complains that there are immigration judges (presumably he means the part-time ones) who spend the rest of their time representing immigrants.
Wait until someone tells him about Recorders (part-time Crown Court judges) who spend the rest of their time defending the accused.
