Valid reason. Usually it is leaves on the line if the "wrong" kind of snow.

"It was a hard-fought by-election, and we were surprised the Green Party won it. With a woman too. Who knew they were allowed to leave the kitchen? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off for a pint with Nigel Farage to discuss a potential defection to Reform. Don't tell anyone."

I just make the sound myself whilst doing the revving motion with my hand. It works.

I'm afraid all I would do is correct both of them. Big Ben is a bell, not a clock or a tower.

I remember this. It was traumatic. And when they did get chicken in, I popped in for a meal. KFC had no gravy! Seriously! No gravy! Came away with coleslaw feeling like a pervert.

And after 40 years you'll have paid back 3 times the amount you borrowed while still owing 4 times what you borrowed, but it's ok because they'll write that off!! But when you moan about it, those that left uni owing nothing tell you that you need to get real, nothing is free. Grrrr.

Being in a soap opera is a catch-22. If you're well-liked by the audience you've basically got job security. But you're actually such a s**t actor the only other gigs you get are panto and I'm A Celeb.

They must be made with the blood of virgins and the dreams of abandoned orphans.

I was wondering if the signs were actually in the USA but then I saw Greggs and knew it had to be the UK (as Greggs' little Belgian adventure failed).

Because it's showing us how much we should be paying if corporations weren't so greedy.

Living in France... Let's just say they don't get British humour and tend to take my humour seriously and provide literal responses. I guess the deadpan sarcasm isn't signalling "this is a joke", but that's kind of the point to British humour, isn't it?

Absolutely. You just have to intuit that it’s sarcasm.

Dad was a Brit so I was 'exposed' to the humor for almost 50 years. I would be out with friends and I would be laughing at something and they would ask me to 'explain what is funny about this?' They gave up on asking after understanding that no matter how well I could explain why something is hilariously funny, they still didn't see it.
