“At Kwik-Fit we know that winter’s nearly here.”

Picturing a mechanic looking at a leaf strewn path and after a sharp intake of breath telling me….

“Yeah it’s your basic senescence mate. The chlorophyll’s fucked. Gonna cost ya…”

One of my finest English degree moments was, in an essay about Lawrence and pathetic fallacy, coining the term "pathetic phallusy". #morelike

Our English teacher once got us to read ‘The White Peacock’

Someone was reading this part in class and he burst out laughing, proclaiming it was, and I quote, “a load of shite” and got us to put the books in the bin at the front of the classroom.

King shit

Excerpt from that book with “George laughed like a sardonic Jove” highlighted

Even the films are boring! Although I quite liked that Far from the Madding Crowd one with Scary Milligan.

One of my fondest memories from being a student is telling a lecturer that I just couldn’t read “Women in Love” Genuinely sent me to sleep every time. I wanted to but it was too boring. Later that day he bought me a pint.

“Are you presently armed?”
“Yes.”

People go on about how much better America is at customer service. Our customer service would be better if we had access to guns too.

Harry Potter didn't, in the end, encourage people to read, it just encouraged them to read Harry Potter.

They laugh along without a qualm because in the incestuous, myopic world of political journalism, those thousands of preventable deaths are just part of the game and they're on the same team as the disgraced former Prime Minister.

All a big chuckle to this grotesque fuckwit and these media clowns just lap it up and clap like the shit handed chimps they are.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

I’ll cheer this up with one food I can’t not eat, no matter how hungry I am, one film I will always watch when I stumble across it on telly and one song I have to get up and dance to.

Pizza. God, I love pizza.

Jaws. I’ve had some pointless late nights just because I’ve flicked onto ITV4.
