Adults talking to adults and saying, "sleeps until..."

I name you Dr Seuss and claim my £5!

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '24 Wear suntan If I could offer you only one tip for the future, artificial tan would be it The long-term benefits of suntan have been proved by scientists Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable Than my own incredible experience, I will dispense this truth now Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh nevermind, You will never be as beautiful as me Until you've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back At photos of me and recall in a way you can't grasp now How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous I really looked and still look You are not as pretty as me Don't worry about the future I got it under control, but know that I'm running the country while trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubble gum The real troubles in your life Are apt to be things that never crossed your inferior mind The kind that would never blindside me at any time or day, ever I do one thing every day that scares you Saying, be reckless with other people's hearts Don't put up with people who disagree with you Sue Don't waste your time on facts Sometimes I'm ahead, sometimes you're behind The race is long and in the end, I win Remember compliments you receive, litigate the insults I always succeed in doing this, don't tell me how Keep your old love letters, throw away your Epstein files Covfefe Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life The most interesting people I know (and I know so many!) Didn't know at 72 who they'd slept with at Bri's parties Some of the most interesting 90-year-olds I know still don't Inject plenty of bleach Be kind to billionaires You'll lose power when they're gone Maybe you'll invade Venezuela, maybe you won't Maybe you'll have beautiful children, not as beautiful as mine Maybe you'll divorce at 40, and 50, and 60, who knows Which eastern European hottie is next Whatever you do, congratulate me so very much Or berate yourself instead Your choices are half chance, nothing is my fault Enjoy my body, it's the best body you'll ever see Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it It's the greatest instrument the world has ever known Dance, even if it's the YMCA and you don't know the moves Read the directions even if you don't follow them Do not compare yourself to me, that will only make you feel ugly Get to know your onions you never know when they'll be ripe Be nice to Vladimir, he's your best chance of staying in power And the person most likely to nuke us in the future Understand that policies come and go But a precious few, you should actually do Don't worry about the gaps in geography and lifestyle For as the older you get The more you need the me, the best, the greatest, the most amazing Talk with the New York City Mayor once, but leave before it makes you communist Live in northern California once but leave before it makes your little Don soft Travel (really, I have this lovely plane, it's fantastic) Accept certain inalienable truths Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you will get old (not me) None of it's my fault but you'll fantasize that when you were young (I still am) Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble And children respected their elders Respect mah auth-ora-tay!

War council.

It could BE literally any of THE words in a sentence.

Bet Reg Presley never had arthritis.

I thought you knew your boardgames

War is like a game of Risk.

Calm down John Connor.

It's more like Scythe nowadays.

Well the claim is it affected the election. Two things. 1. It was never broadcast in the US or available by iPlayer 2. He won (maybe he didn't win enough?)

America v Rest of the World

Apparently X's chatbot, Grok, picked up on a false story about the Bondi Beach shootings, saying that the person who apprehended one of the shooters was Edward Crabtree (not Ahmed al-Ahmed) and was stating it as fact. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq5qqq6gv6yt?post=asset%3A4a6f240f-9557-4b80-870f-262b6debbc60#post

I doubt it will be successful unless he corrupts the decision, which would be ironic.

Three words. Con script shun.

Blatant prejudice. They were almost American - then Trump cancelled their citizenship ceremonies - BBC News https://share.google/qVcY1X20xT75qaI0q Sanctioned racism.

I think that's more as a commitment to NATO than an actual direct invasion of the UK. Nazi Germany couldn't do it and they probably had better firepower (contemporaneously) than Russia - who are entrenched is the Ukraine.

It's a shame Americans don't get irony.

And entirely in keeping with many previous comments on that account.

It absolutely is. The real genuine leader of the free world.

Inconceivable! Director of some brilliant movies.

Surprised this hasn't been started yet. Let's keep the momentum and returning managers usually do well against their former sides. Keep the same team, should have some confidence back now. 3 pts would be nice, but any point away is not to be sniffed at and extends an unbeaten run. Just don't play in a "not to lose" fashion. 1-2 MC redemption arc developing.
