There are precedents of UK stand-up comedians finding success outside the British Isles, e.g. Rosie Holt sell-out in Paris. Can be done, if prepared.

Nothing wrong with that choice. When my OH goes to Noz (not often nowadays), I walk the dog in and around the car park.

Poltronèsofa for us. Excellent if you have pets, too: washable and easy to fit. Wait for a promo.

The 2026 Olympic games and, to a lesser extent, the 2026 FIFA World Cup may require relocating...

The weather dude on TV last night said it's going to be 99 degrees today. I'm demanding that he be fired and replace with another dude that will forecast a high of 82.

Am I doing this right?

I once went to the tyre shop next to the 'Ring, to get the balancing corrected. They took the wheels off and put them in some sort of giant washing machine, then balanced them. The place was spotless. Your workshop reminds me of that. Perfection.

French people arriving in QuΓ©bec spend their 1st hour or so laughing at the accent - until they realise that THEY are the foreigners. Anyway, check out the swear words: they're mostly items you'd find in a church: calice, tabernacle, ostie. And as for words that mean something completely different..

I thought the Tebbit test involved riding a bike. I don't own a bike.

I'd forgotten about this. It is time to remember.

'U-turns' should be replaced by 'pivots'. Both mean the same thing, but pivots are accepted as a necessary management tool - and therefore a good thing - whereas U-turns are perceived as negative.

He's just thinking they're losers.

Can't bring himself to acknowledge their sacrifice.

It seems you can say and do want you want yhese days. Nazi salutes, overtly racist insults... Unbridled vocabulary without consequences.
