Winter Olympics commentators have a very different frame of reference to me. One just said a figure skater ‘redeemed herself in Sheffield.’ Why? Is she also a snooker player?

But I still naively expect bar staff to clock when I’m next, meaning the person who just starts ordering gets in

Some bar staff do but many don’t and the rise of them simply asking ‘who’s next?’ to determine the order, rather keeping an eye on it, is definitely a thing

Is it? Many people don’t care about the order anyone goes in and will respond to a bar staff’s ’who’s next?’ by assertively placing their order, by which point the person they pushed in front of just lets it go. I totally see the temptation to do this instead

Dining across the divide: ‘There he was with his goatee, shaved head, tattoos – but never judge a book by its cover’ A leftwing voting skeptic and tribal Tory party member struggle to agree on nationalism and the role of the state. Can they find any common ground over social media?

This is great. These are two men who’d be shouting at each other at Question Time, but after introducing their polar opposite positions they turn out to have a lot in common www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
