I can just about handle a throat infection so persistent that I’m having to be told “no, if it’s an abscess you definitely SHOULD NOT poke it with a needle!”… but to be told to gargle with salt water and have only pink Himalayan salt in the cupboard, I mean… I’m from Slough. I can’t handle this.

Look, I respect Americans’ decision to chuck tea in the sea and tell the Brits to get in there with it. We were out of order with the whole tax/ monopolising/ undercutting smugglers thing. But, seriously…look at the shit you’re taking now. Can we get a bit of that old timey rebellion any time soon?

Would this be a good time to tell Americans the British meaning of the word “mug” and “he’s mugged you all off”? www.forbes.com/sites/maryro...

Google Maps LOVES telling me to head north down whatever street and I need to know if you are all walking around with a compass in your head, like you all just know where north is like you know where your feet are? Is that what’s happening?

“Ok but selling what?” “I’ll tell you what we’re selling. We’re selling DREAMS.” “Ok but what really?” “We’re selling POWER. We’re selling AMBITION.” “Is it, by any chance, an insurance scam?” ……. “DREAMS.”

• Hanlon’s razor: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity • Being in a good relationship > being single. Being single > being in a bad relationship • Grieve willingly. If you don’t, your brain and body will do it anyway, at weird moments • Salt lightly, pepper hard

Remember when a reporter asked Trump what he would do if his daughter was being harassed at work, and he said “I would hope she’d go and work somewhere else”?

Corporations: “We care about your mental health.” Workers: “Yay! So you’ll pay us enough to live, stop heaping workloads from the people you’ve laid off, stop firing and rehiring, let us work flexibly…?” Corporations: “…we meant like… do yoga. And on Wednesday Dana will show you a breathing thing.”
