I got married there, right in front of that window. At the reception my all my best girls got in a fantastic dance fight right there where ZD is dancing and it was a lot better than this video. And then my mum got up and tried to do the Single Ladies dance with them and it was brilliant.

Thank you for putting this in my head, replacing last year's Eurovision winner.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, yeah, don't remember that one!

Turkey were SO GOOD last year. They made a boat, out of themselves! I was very sad they weren't back this year.

Last year's winner gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME. Which is ok because I sort of like it.

"Diamante dollar" is my new favourite thing.

Mine was $3.99 from some party supply shop 24 hours before the wedding, as a total afterthought. We look like little plastic Kennedys with perfect plastic hair.

Yep. I always love getting a new intern… some of them haven't had any editorial workplace experience yet and seem a bit stunned by the fact that you can swear as much as you like just as long as you're not boring.

Exactly… I think cutting out an entire class of words would be the opposite of creative language use, really.

That was glorious.

Or editorial, or photography… or just anywhere with a bunch of people who curse a lot!

But what about creative combinations of curses, or interesting contexts? Any word can be fun if you play with it enough.

At my job, the editorial department are the ones who swear the most and have the largest vocabularies and best grasp of grammar. They just really enjoy swearing, too.

What about coming up with lots of inventive combined curses? I love Russian for that.

First, I love the word "buggerbucks" and will now endeavour to use it daily.

Please also forgive foreigners! When I found out that you couldn't call a person oriental in America (about ten years ago) I passed that info on to my friend who's half Chinese, and she found it entirely puzzling. She asked me what she was supposed to be if not "oriental", and when I told her she'd be Asian she was…

Aaaaaah. You're brilliant.

I think (this is totally off the top of my head and might be wrong) that we put a "linking R" between vowels to separate them… so if your name was something Kara Adams it would come out like "Kara Radams" if I said it. AND the whole "linking R" thing is super ironic because we also have a non-rhotic accent so we don't…

I just had to Google "canola oil", and I can't even excuse my lack of knowledge by being successfully pretty. Oh dear.

I am a native English speaker and had no idea about that at all. Thank you for the info.
