‘Very Clear’, the politicians’ favourite phrase, I count them along with the 'so’s whenever they are interviewed, sometimes they can manage 3 in a single sentence. 
No, these Countries will be fine and treated well by the Ministry of Love.
Journos who do not use collective nouns as singular , do not know the difference between bought and brought or that a choice means two options. Not a fan of got either as in he has got a dog orif it was me…Many will put pedants such as myself in Room 101

I think you may have a few pedants for company here - I’m one.

TV Reality shows, Influencers and the ‘celebrities’, these things produce.

I’m always greatly amused by the producer of Big Brother being the great, great grandson of the 19th engineer that built the London sewer system.
Alas, unlike his ancestor, the Big Brother chap piped crap into people’s homes.

I suspect most people have at some point, but I think we’re following the BBC tv programme format rather than Orwells.
I think you’ll have a lot of company from those of us posting on this topic!!
Can only appologise that my cousin was also CEO at C4 at the time, sorry.

The poop was going to be piped away, so why not make bank from being the Premier Poop Piper?
Here’s my solution
I used the Aunty’s services a couple of times. I’m still hoping the fates will smite.
I’ve posted this tip before - use the handle of a wooden kitchen spoon (upside down) as a lever and start with the top of it about halfway along the tin.

Nice people, but their food would be well worth binning.

Did you see the (I thought very tidy and gentle) arrest of the mentally-ill woman who’d stabbed four people?
I admired her heroic dedication to vaping: even while the officer was putting a cuff on her wrist, she was getting a lungful from the vape in her other hand.

Agreed, but no one should be that tall!!

On the basis of having several Dutch guys in our rando group, I’d infer that the increase in height was mainly in the length of their legs…
I think the tobacco companies are on to a winner. When the cancer link to tobacco became a bit too evident, they must have thought their business was over. However, they seem to have convinced an awful lot of people that vaping is good for you. All the while, of course, claiming that only ex smokers should vape, and nonsmokers shouldn’t take up the habit. Next door neighbour has her vape around her neck and is constantly sucking the chemicals into her lungs. No need to open a packet, take one out, light it, put packet and lighter away. All you have to do is suck.

But isn’t that true of most tall people? A colleague at my last job in England was 6’ 7" whereas I am 5’ 6", but sitting together in a car or at a desk, we were the same height.
