Where I used to work, there was a meeting room called 'Barn Owl View' because you could see the pub over the road.
The pub closed down but there would have been too much bureaucracy to change the name. So now it's just a constant reminder of where everyone would rather be than in a meeting.

"There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep, never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that and everything else is cream cheese" (Teen Wolf)

Rick Astley has a massive collection of Disney Pixar films. He'll let you borrow almost any of them but he's never gonna give you Up.

Whatever you do, don't buy them in bulk. I found them really flavourless and tough.

Is it counting 2 cherries connected at the stem (🍒) as 1 cherry? But even then, most people could comfortably eat both in one bite 🤷♂️

Also the Koninklijk Nederlands Meteorologisch Instituut (which I freely admit I had to Google), which is why we had the fantastically named Storm Henk last year.

Yes, but you've made a decent living from it, so it's not all bad Mr Pasquale.

Afraid this year's L is Lewis. Maybe next year?
(Also Bert is good, but my favourite storm name was 'Henk' last year)
