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.

(Michigan here) I actually sent a 'contact me' note to Doug Ford (Canadian Premiere) telling him "well played" on the threat to cut off the power to NY, Mich, Penn, and the rest.

My parents dragged us to the US from the UK in the 90s and I'm still salty about it because I can't afford to go back. >:(

In my nearly six decades as a US-born expat, the thought that I was born in the wrong country has frequently crossed my mind but never as often as in the last ten years.

This dude in a kilt shows me on the map: "Born in Gretna, Scotland. Lucky me! Just look how close the border is."

With Scotch, Irish, French, Dutch, German and English ancestry ... I would have been happy in any of those places today. But here I am in Floriduh!

I don't know how much choice in country there was since both sides of my family came before the United States was anything but different British colonies but I do thank them for choosing California.

Let's be fair though. The UK is becoming a run down dump. Like the S*x Pistols said: "there is no future in England's dreaming."

It was during the pandemic and mass mask wearing that I discovered how much I lip read and how deaf I am when people wear masks!

Worst bit is when you have to say, 'no, that is another of your children'!

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.

I don't think I've ever cheated in a quiz, but I am still annoyed about one where the question was 'what can you do to get maximum juice out of a lemon?' and I answered both rolling the lemon on the table before juicing and putting in the microwave. One of the people on my team, a first year pastry chef disagreed about the microwave and only said rolling it and the rest of the team went with his answer. Microwave was correct and I'm still pissed we lost that point.

Called my manager with an update as I was stuck in traffic on my way in as the motorway was closed. Usually takes me 30min to get to work. After 90 mins, I was still only halfway there. She told me to stop and get a coffee. I have a great manager!

I wish I worked with other people! I just have to say that and 'what the f**k' to myself over and over.

Great singer and has some fine work out there, and one of my favourites. But sadly it was a power boat at high speed not a jet ski (in a designated diving area) The Mexican justice system leaves a lot to be desired... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirsty_MacColl

I love going to supermarkets in other countries. The deli tells me what you want me to think you eat, the supermarket tells me the truth.

I didn't, I was thrilled. My mum was a teacher at my primary school. Nice lady, but the kiss of death for my social standing.

Yes! I'm a 57 year old and absolutely think I'm too young to be hearing some of the conversations in my office.

I know a mum and daughter who lived together and were told by numerous people that they should go on Goggle box because of how they comment on shows. The daughter didn't want to and the mother has since died, but I think they would have been well liked. I also amuse myself and my sister with my commentary, but I know that it is only funny to us. Our friends never found any of our in jokes/answers to cards against humanity prompts funny and just thought we were really weird. :)

Leap years (and the 11 day difference between the Julian and Gregorian calendars) were actually the result of the Vatican observatory seeing that the sun wasn't at the same point every year - they had a hole in the wall and where the light ray landed on a set day was no longer where it had been.
