@TheRealFlups The date at IKEA was a red flag. Him being a tittybaby with a Porsche was another. In a Sliding Doors life, a version of you is almost certainly up for justifiable homicide.

@billyeichner I love how they can absolutely prove you're gay thanks to three reliable witnesses for the prosecution. Jewish, not so much.

@MobyMooby @carolecadwalla @BBC I grew up believing that each newspaper was biased, paid for by a party. That ITV was fairly right in its leaning, but the BBC was a bastion of truth, envied worldwide. At the age of 53, to see what it has become in recent months is so bewilderingly sad.
