So the hike in fees went through. Good. But instead of rising to £9000 they should have gone to £90,000. Nah, let’s make a round £100,000.

People who use the phrase “Listen up”. What the fuck does that mean?. People who say “Can I get” when the really mean “Can I have”. No, you can’t. Fuck off.

People who just use a fork to eat with and cut their food up with the edge of it. No – that’s what a knife is for. Use the fucker. Peeling eggs – the original wrap rage?
