Just got in my first London Uber and the driver hears my accent and says, “from the land of Jacinda, she’s my girl.” Then he laughed the rest of the trip at the NZ reaction to one covid case.

I can't tell you how many times Greg made me search this story in the archives and watch it. He said he was so unimpressed with the prods for giving him such a silly story that he wrote a rhyme so they couldn't change a single word when it got into subbing. I miss his genius.
