Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."

I thought this felt relatable

Animal Farm's creative bankruptcy is summed in a single song All you need to know about Andy Serkis' absurd adaptation of Animal Farm is that it starts with a barnyard rap.

Animal Farm made me want to take myself to the glue factory.

I couldn't bear writing about the whole movie, so please enjoy me writing about the opening credits, which are set to an original barnyard-themed rap: www.avclub.com/animal-farm-...

This is so Wes Anderson, I can almost hear the affectless Jason Schwartzmann voiceover saying "My mother used to design undercover disguises for the Stasi"

Pick up the nearest book, turn to p.42 and post the second sentence:

The wide range of tools on the market can be grouped into a few basic categories: trowels, string lines, joint tools and hammers.

Based on my experiences, plenty of French wine is at 14%, not forgetting countries like Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Spain, Italy.

Ah, I had wondered about this, thanks.

How strong was it then? 14-15% is quite a modern thing, isn't it?
Same with beer, which used to be weaker.

You absolutely need someone who can come up with a good team name.
Clever, witty, possibly topical, borderline but not quite rude, and not one that bloody everyone uses. Yes, I'm looking at you Surreal Madrid and Norfolk & Chance.

Are they not the wrong way round? 🤔😇

No tip? Bastards.

The first 7 ends were all 50+ and I shot 8 of them in all (both achieved for the first time).
The only two non-50+ ends were 49 and 48, so close a 50+ sweep.
37 arrows scoring 9/10/X is my best.
And finally, I beat the PB of my closest barebow rival at the club (although there is no "rivalry").

Chart showing where all of the arrows landed - none in the blue. Also of note is that the highlighted "trend" shading is almost a perfect circle (it hasn't been before) and is centred directly on the X (it's usually been low).

Arrows scoring 9 9 9 10 10 X10, for a total of 57, my highest scoring end ever.

My #archery today can be summed up as "best day ever".
I increased my Portsmouth PB by another 9 points to 522/600.
My PB was 497 in Feb and I first shot 500 in Mar.
Shot a 57 for the first time.
All 60 arrows in the red or better, no blues.
The lowest end of 48 is my highest ever low end.

The only possible thing to say to that is "gosh" 😬

They just need "..., me babber" on the end.

Oh thank goodness it wasn't just me. Cracking song.

Magnificent!
