There are lots of versions of this meme for good reason... and there are none about Britain. We're not the ones without passports..

Dude. We are in a different country. We may speak a similar language, but we have our own laws and culture and products and ways of doing things. We haven't asked for your help. We are not all on fire and being murdered in the street. We're fine. In fact, we don't have a dictator...

No lying or making yourself out to be a cool kid.
Post the first record you bought.
If you can remember the shop or circumstances add that too. Local color appreciated.

I bought this single alongside Boy George's Karma Chameleon from Boots in Horsham with money for my 5th birthday.

That it was St Anthony and my Dad's name is Anthony just blew my tiny mind!

Post a witch

(Stella from Jurby Junk on the Isle of Man. Astoundingly eccentric she was an unashamed witch. She is now my idol and possible fashion inspiration. Her shop was mad!)

As Oshin needs to wear a collar while his stitches heal and the plastic one looked so uncomfortable. Plus it was terrifying Finbar.

I got him something that looked more comfortable and I just cannot stop laughing...

Oshin had his castration today... except one of them didn't want to play ball (if you'll pardon the pun) so it was a bit more involved...

He has been home an hour, pulled his bumper collar off twice and this is the second go at a shirt.

Gonna be a long week...

Furry hand muff with a string around your neck is referring to a muff, not mittens.

You had muffs on the school playground? Why would they relate to people with special needs?

Idiot strings are different. They kept your mittens with your coat.

A muff has to hang off your neck for when you remove both hands.

This seems a timely photo to pull out...

(I should note that Dubbyah was in there at the time. Condoleeza Rice was being interviewed in the garden and there were secret police on bicycles with 'secret police' on them which wasn't very secret!)

I've always loved Finbar. He is my best friend and has been an amazingly easy cat. He is so wonderfully patient with the absolute chaos gremlin that is Oshin. My heart swells every time I see him be a 'dad'.

Ahhh... health and safety gone mad! I remember when it started...

Are statues not traditionally bronze? Or at least heavy enough that two drunk students can't steal it? That puts me in mind of the little blind boy charity boxes we used to have...

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy.

This worked spectacularly well...
