When I was showing I'd set a mental metronome marking for the course, depending on the layout, terrain, ground conditions, weather and how my horse was feeling that day (fresh or lazy).

I mean did he though?

Or, as we call it in Canada, "swimming"

Why has my fantasy Berlioz biopic directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Timothée Chalamet not been made yet?

Cooked radishes are a gamechanger
