    What would be even better is going to the pub for afternoon drinks, skipping the club and being back home in bed by 10. PERFECT.

    Australia for me, thank you for moving us to the opposite end from all the rubbish going on in the north everywhere. The penguins and us are quietly preparing our tariff retaliation and nobody is noticing.

    That probably saves him from a heart attack. That is waaaay too much caffeine. This is coming from a person who used to drink a large coffee with 2 to 3 shots of espresso added.

    Ideally your parents should be so glad you're moving out that they let you take your pillow with you

    I liked anything multiplied by 9 since if you took the individual digits in the answer and added them up they were also 9 (or a multiple of 9) e.g. 14x9 = 126, 1+2+6 = 9

    Embarrassingly whenever someone with an accent talks to me I tend to unwittingly talk back to them in that same accent.

    25yrs ago I sent an email from my school account out to every other student, staff member, and board of education member for the city of Glasgow, outing a dude who was dating a friend, but hitting on me and secretly dating 2 other girls at 2 other schools. The email system was supposed to be used for within your school only, but they hadn't blocked off the address book for every other person on the city's public school system. Thousands of people saw a huge list of his lies and antics, complete with photos. All the girls dating him got the email and dumped him, he became a laughingstock and everyone ostracized him, even his parents, he had to spend Xmas and New Years hiding at his sisters house. They blocked off email access between the schools after that.
