  1. Mrs Willard got a proper well paid job after 17 years of being at home bringing up our 5 kids. Took her out for lunch to celebrate.
  2. Hyperbole is spelt completely wrong. I can’t pronounce it either.
  3. “The thing is” I say that too much
  4. I think the D is silent. You’re both wrong.
  5. Nuclear is another one. 2 syllables or 3 ? I have heard both.
  6. Hopefully self explanatory and maybe cathartic. All you have to do is write the word that you struggle to say out loud. I’ll open the batting with “specific” just can’t say it.
  7. It’s over. It’s a filler word now that can be taken out of sentences without losing any of the meaning. Literally meaningless.
  8. I have fought a pointless one man battle for years against this, like a Japanese soldier on a lonely pacific island in the 1950s. I’ve given up now. There’s probably someone on a neighbouring island fighting the same futile war of “like” instead of “said”.
  9. I'm making a conscious effort not to start sentences with "So...". It's very hard.
  10. I’ve eaten a pigs ear. It’s tasty but a lot of gristle.
  11. A terse e mail is the English middle class equivalent of a horse’s head in your bed.
  12. As an update on the shed, I’ve sent him a terse e mail saying I will acquiesce. No hello, how are you or thanks or have a nice Easter, none of that. This alone will convey to the cunt how much I hate him.
  13. I built a shed on my allotment. The fucking jobsworth cunt at the Council is saying it is too big by 2 feet and wants me to demolish it. He’s got his pathetic qualifications on his e mail address. I fucking hate him.
  14. “Lennon read a book on Marx” in American Pie, a Beatle and a writer in the same song.
  15. Apart from pro beaners obviously.
  16. Somebody once called him Squeeler from Animal Farm which is a brilliant spot.
  17. Stronts would be there chucking grenades at the mourners.
  18. Yes I think that’s a reasonable assumption. The yearning for control over things that are fundamentally uncontrollable maybe. Obviously you get exceptions but generally the state of the front garden is a pretty reliable distinguisher between Tory and Lib Dems voters. It’s less clear re Labour voters.
  19. There’s definitely a pattern. Tory voters tend to have tidy gardens with an immaculate but old Honda accord on the drive, Lib Dems don’t prune their roses and drive Citroens.
  20. In my experience of political campaigning for Mrs Willard, front gardens are a pretty reliable guide to voting intentions. A scruffy front garden with a French car on the drive is invariably a Lib Dem.
  21. Yes you get some great stock from Farmer Gracy. I also travel to Amsterdam a lot with work so buy tubers there and sneak them home in my hand luggage.
