When I say "I'm an open book" I don't mean I have no secrets, I mean that you can use me in an open-book test.

Toilets level the playing field and reduce the advantage that those who can urinate standing up would have in a less-civilised world… and then they go leave the seat up

Think of representations of your occupation in film and tv. Is it primarily positive?

You do you but not between the hours of 9 and 5 or before the kids are in bed or on the week-end

I have to brag that my wife graduated with distinction and it feels very well-deserved

TFW you have an idea for a chart that would be interesting to see and turns out you already had that idea

I don't hate country music. I find it hard to hate an entire broad genre label. I just strongly dislike nearly every single country song I hear.

I also find it hard to love a genre. There's plenty of jazz I'll skip.
