I agree with you and Teddy on eating your cake and having it. And WTG West Ham. I'll bet a lot of fans are as happy as you are. I always liked Spock on Star Trek. I wonder if I could identify as a Vulcan if I went to school today. It would be fun to constantly tell teachers that there is no logic to what they are saying.
If corrupt oil slick Newsom really is running for president....God help America.
As for the kids taking the Micky....I've seen that suggested elsewhere and it's been hotly debated. Are they....or have they just gone so far down the Internet deepest, darkest rabbit hole that there's no coming back? I'm with you on this. I think it's a case of "I'm going to see how far I can push this and how much I can get away with". More power to them.
Finally there is an explanation to that silly proverb! Now would you be so kind to tell me the correct version of “You’re the apple of my eye “? As someone whose first language is not English, I have fits of irritation with that surrealist sentence. It would make way more sense if it was “you’re the apple of my pie”!
It is said that we (US and UK) are separated by a common language. Wrong. "...grassed him up to the rozzers" is proof that there is no common language.
Seems that my major exposure to actual UK people was with engineers. Another reminder that Britain is a wildly variable place -- in many ways. (I also had a romp with taking the Micky, no it's Michael (or not?) but my mother having had good taste that one was kinda personal. Much more comfortable with your source on that one,.) Be well sir, as always.

We'll never win anything ever again and I'm fine fine fine with that! (Honestly, almost had a heart attack. I can't handle another final.)

He looks straight out of central casting for The Purge.
I hope so... I mean, the kid wearing a cape and pretending he is the moon? I'd have pushed it that far tbh!
Absolutely! And of course the idiot adults take it sooooo seriously 🤣🤣🤣

Ha. I didn't know this one. But good question. It's Shakespeare! https://nosweatshakespeare.com/quotes/famous/apple-of-my-eye/

It's a working class colloquialism. I think it comes from the rhyming slang: Grasshopper means copper, copper is slang for policeman.

Yes, the accent and the name for a bread roll change every 30 miles.
Michael is the polite version, as is Mickey. The rhyming slang is Mickey Bliss, which rhymes with something I'd say in person but not in print.
And you, sir!
I feel the same way about my Minnesota Vikings. Always a runner up.
Ah. West Ham are perennial underachievers. It pays more to support such teams. Tastes sweeter.
Mr. Gage, I understand trans arguments. I disagree, but they have a perverse logic.
But this idea of being an animal has no logical arguments. Could it just be we humans are going backwards?
Maybe Ted Kaczynski was right.
Anchor? We also use a 6 letter word for people like that guy, it rhymes with sucker.
I'm sure they're taking the Michael, Mr. McDonald.
