This sort of behaviour inevitably has British commentators hand-wringing and saying "Nobody likes to see that."
If you don't like to see it, stand back so I can get a better view. I absolutely *love* to see it.
"Fires"?
We all know the zip code to Beverley Hills is 90210, but the zip code to Dawson's Creek is 90108 (for our lives to be over).
I collect names that also work as sentences. Tom Waits, Britney Spears, Gordon Banks, that sort of thing.
It's rare the sentence is as apt as "Matthew Swindells"
A big shirt?
It’s actually FEWER Misérables
Thoughts and prayers with Clapham at this difficult time.
If the Iranian football team are prevented from playing at the World Cup this summer, the Nobel Prize Committee should give them a "Nobel World Cup" that they can claim is more significant than the actual trophy.
Just because there is a gap for a steak pun, you don't need to fillet
Twat dooming Reform? (4,7)
The Greens are going to win. They're going to show that you can win despite all the media hating and lying about you.

In decades to come, I suspect this will be as implausible as Al Capone being done for tax evasion.
Very much in favour of Andrew getting arrested. Slightly disappointed it's for sharing trade secrets and not the whole sex with trafficked underage girls thing.
I always hoped Schroders would merge with ING, call the new company "SchrodINGers", and then leave investors to guess whether there was money in the funds or not.
Trafalgar Square in the rain last night. It's been 41 days of rain in the UK and while that means walking in #London leaves you damp and cold, the wet also helps highlight the beauty of the city.
if you have a ring camera you are a child, terrified of the silhouette of a jacket hanging on a chair. you are lower than a worm to me. you have sold your soul to a devil that has offered you nothing in return

As I get older, my response to celebrities dying is increasingly surprise that they weren't dead already. I am similarly amazed that Braverman didn't join Reform years ago.
I judge calendar years by whether they feature more weddings or funerals. 2025 was the first year in ages where weddings won. But we're barely three weeks into 2026 and it's 2-0 to funerals already.
I'd also want my tomatoes dried all the way for that price.
I don't like Bromley its horrible.
Scooby Doo’s favourite pantomime.
