PHARRELL IS 40?!!!!

She's a she, so perhaps not!

Aaaaaaaah, you are brilliant! Yes!

Absolutely not true at all.

Yeah, there's definitely stuff that builds up and builds up. I have a new colleague who makes a throat-clearing noise every thirty seconds — once you hear it you can't unhear it, and it goes on all day, every day. The other new colleague can't type properly and just stabs the keyboard really aggressively all day,…

We have a temporary person who started on Monday who NEVER MAKES TEA but ALWAYS ACCEPTS TEA. (I almost never make tea but I almost never accept tea, either.)

I really like everything I've ever had from them.

I liked it, too.

Me too. I definitely benefited from the unpaid internship I did — I learnt a *ton* (including things I still use today, 10+ years later), met people I'm still in contact with, got called back there for a full-time paid job when their editorial assistant broke her ankle a few months later, etc.

Yep. I had a foreign boyfriend and we were contemplating marriage, so I started looking for a staff position before we were even engaged, because I knew I'd need to show I'd been at a higher income for a year or so… I luckily started my job almost exactly a year before we needed to file his immigration paperwork. Ugh,…

I'm nice to people in London as long as they seem even slightly sensible. I'm not helpful at all to people who are being idiots, tourists or not.

I used to get that in Spain but suddenly it stopped — I think the difference was that my confidence had increased. It seemed as though previously they spoke English to put me out of my misery, and then suddenly when I wasn't so desperate and floundering any more they were willing to play along and encourage me. I'm…

"Metro Police" makes no sense — 'Metro' is a newspaper here. The Metropolitan Police is always just the Met.

Yeah, I don't think it's particularly exciting that he mentioned, say, nine names instead of the previous record of eight.

Isn't the "game changer" that it's mentioning so many people? (I'm not at all sure it's actually enough to be a game changer on that front, but wasn't it about that and not the reasonably good internal rhyme scheme?)

You might've just inspired me to start a career as a ordinarily rapper. I could be "Sarah", or "Claire", or something.

Me too.

It's a) expensive and b) may not work for everyone, but Rapid Brow has been really great at making my eyebrows grow. I got it on a whim because I realised I had a ton of loyalty card points at Boots and I've wished I had more substantial/less wonky eyebrows for YEARS.

Tiny note to say that yep, many men in Europe don't wear wedding rings. I was really surprised to find out so many N. Am. men did! The only men here in England I know who wear them are the young'uns — it seems to be becoming more common now.

Yes! If there's anything at all about weddings that you don't want to do, you can just say "that's not how we do it"! I refused to do a "dollar dance", throw a garter, etc…
