I was feeling a bit snarky this morning, though I hope it came across as playfully teasing rather than mean as I wouldn’t want to attract the ire of the #BeKind mob (and some of my closest friends are centrists!)

I think it might have actually replaced "make it make sense" and "I did not have (insert event) on my (insert year) bingo card" as my least favourite phrase

I've apparently won the internet on a few occasions but I'm yet to receive any prizes, though I fear if there was one it would just be this gif...

Do the “adults are back in charge” / “cockwomble” / “Marina Hyde has nailed it again” crowd keep a league table of who has won the internet the most times?

An Englishman walks into a Swiss bank. He goes to the teller, puts his face close to the glass, and whispers, “I have 2 million pounds and need to open a secret Swiss bank account.” The teller replies, “Sir, there’s no need to whisper. Poverty is nothing to be ashamed of in Switzerland.”
