That was marvellous fun. We normally forget what we've improvised straight afterwards, but I last night I can recall being a kickboxer, a doomed vampire and a fox killed by a fiendish trap.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - β€œoverthrowing May right now” and in β€œLondon with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing

Clement Freud. We used to listen to old Just a Minute and our favourite quips entered our everyday vocabulary. He destroyed those little girIs' childhood, and just to add insult to injury, he ruined something I loved. I will kick his ass in hell.

BBC describing Rehan Ahmed as a 'pinch-opener'. Is this because they've realised 'pinch-hitter' sounds like someone who's eaten pins?
