Other songs that show the composer it a pillock: "Wonderful Tonight" ("It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
And she helps me to bed" whinge, whinge) and "Just the Way You Are" ('I don't want clever conversation'? It means I just want arm candy.)

When I was a JHO in paeds and told the SR a kid vomited green, he'd demand "Great Western green, LNER Green, or Stroudley's Improved Engine Green?". If it wasn't GW green it wasn't bile (no intestinal obstruction).
That Metro is damn near LNER Green.
Stroudley's Improved Engine Green?
Look it up!

Designing the epidemiological study to confirm that hypothesis would be only slightly easier than applying for the funding. And getting the ethical approval would be a bugger (so to speak).

It's ironic that the only decent thing she championed--the Single Market--is dead to the UK too.
Whereas all the other shit still haunts us.

They must have taken a leaf out of Trump's book: don't test for covid cases and the figures come down.

I have a wristwatch that's embarrassed about the noun embedded in its name.
And don't talk to me about my pal from Scunthorpe.
Or the other one from Penistone.

Lost me at "King Charles III Coastal Path".
How much is the adulterous, paedophile-enabling, tax-dodging, honours-selling, constitutionally useless, obscenely expensive, parasite paying for the PR?
What would any other commercial organisation pay?
Or you could always name it after a person of merit.

He (well, his lackeys) even vet those laws that apply to him. Charlie has the right to veto any law that affects him. To those who say "He never does", the answer is that the sycophantic legislators (who swear allegiance to him) don't want to embarrass him by proposing a law he might veto.
