On a TOTALLY unrelated note as the weather changes, hat pins are great as scarf pins to keep the fabric from flapping in the wind. So many uses they should always be kept handy.

“First language” meaning they are at least bilingual.
Are we upset that kids are too bright now?

I’ve heard you get arrested just for being an English serial killer these days. It’s woke PC gone mad

For the Epsteinth time, can’t the man have a meeting where he rolls over sovereign territory of another country to a foreign invading power without it being discussed. The man will need a vacation to a nice secluded island soon. He clearly wants us to make a move on to other topics. Any suggestions?

They’re planning on lighting everything on fire to see which blazes bright enough to dwarf the Epstein inferno

The one and only acceptable on screen portrayal of Holmes and Watson (Jeremy Brett & David Burke).
Perfection
I will not be taking feedback on this.

Not many people actually need to speak with their MP. Just so long as they hold the same headline views, he keeps the seat. And they’ll swamp it with emotion grabbing PR

Then I want getting angry added to the definition of ‘sub standard performance’
Not losing temper, not throwing a rage, just visibly holding back anger

I've never seen this story in any of the (many) things that have been written about the filming of 'Jaws'. But my source is pretty trustworthy, I think.

Anyway, if you haven't seen Ian Shaw's play "The Shark Is Broken", about his father and the making of 'Jaws', it is terrific.
