I am leaving Facebook because it keeps showing me videos of former vice presidents dancing.

That's right, I'm being forced out by the Al Gore rhythms.

Once again marvelling at the ridiculousness of this list. We'd laugh at it if it was produced by generative AI. Some bizarre inclusions at the expense of others. Surely it's time to have a simple definition of an upstanding person by reference to a short list of exclusions

The secret to top notch crab linguine? (1) Mix the brown meat into your sauce made of olive oil, reduced white wine, shallots, chilli, garlic, parsley and lemon zest. (2) Make tomato pasta for the kids.

I seriously injured my knee on holiday.

How did I do that? It’s not important.
Ok I’ll tell, I was trying vault over a padel court net.
