Is humour a genre? As that is clearly the most difficult one. There are far fewer Wodehouses than acclaimed literary authors.

Possibly somewhat anecdotal, but I've found it's a particular problem with mathematicians/computer scientists as they are convinced they can "reason" their way into the correct answer. Even when the real world evidence is screaming something else at them.

When in February I asked the Prime Minister to congratulate #NUFC for reaching the Carabao Cup final and to confirm the funding to complete the refurbishment of our iconic #TyneBridge in time for its centenary, I couldn't have hoped for a better result!

Just flicking through the UK Strategic Defence Review. The word "tank" appears six times. Three times referring to what you'd expect, and the other three times refer to "Think Tanks".

Greedy, thick, and gullible? You'd better hope they don't care about massively patronising insults as well.

As someone who grew up in the desert of grammar that was English teaching in the 1990s, they simply confuse and scare me.

I love the Hive Mind! I love the whooshing noise it makes as it goes by.

Gaming is so incredibly common that rolling it in with porn, gambling, and Tate almost feels like we might as well lay the blame at the feet of chips. Or too much lynx deodorant.
