I wish you'd mentioned that before I dated Basil...Was Basil even male? Not being funny but I never remember them being referred to as him.

It was like a budget version of The Crying Game, squire.ffs Steve

I'd offer you mine but it's already third hand. Previous owner must have been a pensioner who sent daily complaint letters to Points of View.I really need to get a life.
Guardian said:Snorkelling grandmothers uncover large population of venomous sea snakes
“I was very happy, so she asked her neighbour and friend Monique to help me too. Monique asked another friend, and soon there were seven grandmothers helping me.” The group named themselves “the fantastic grandmothers” and range in age from 60 to 75.
That article is short but I struggled through it out of curiosity. How much would she get paid for that fecking shite?
But I am enough of an "asocial" as they were known then to know I would have been made to turn left in the camps. That is all the knowledge I need .
Guardian said:It was panned on release – so why are we hopelessly devoted to Grease 40 years later?
An endorsement of rape culture or a rejection of slut-shaming: the debate over the film continues, four decades on.
'Feck's bleedin' sake, Guardian...Guardian Books said:The coffee pot boils, no doubt in a deliberate attempt to impose dull, naturalistic order on the contemplation of what it means to exist. Will Self unfurls himself from his ergonomic computer stool and gingerly removes the pot from the stove using a grubby towel.
"It's a great privilege to be allowed to have a filthy garret room," he says as he pours me a deliciously strong cup of black coffee. Later he will tell me that he uses a Robusta "peasant" blend bought from his local newsagents, which tastes smoother than the more expensive Arabica we're used to drinking.
What did this tweet say?

Guardian said:Why are golfers against Jeremy Corbyn?
The guardian has dar more integrity than the daily mail will ever have.The Guardian is a mess but it's the perfect antithesis to the Daily Mail. That way The Guardian can post a story called "Why All Men Are Pigs and if you don't agree you're a sexist fecking bastard and deserve to be shot" whenever the Mail post a "Woman SHOWS OFF neat vag under long dress after pap takes up skirt photos without her knowledge".
Fixed that for yaAccording to golfers, Jeremy Corbyn is the Bogeyman
I've always been amazed that Arwa's weekly Patriarchy articles, in the Comment Is Free section, never allow comments.Tweet

Stop writing laughable articles then. I'm loving the donation drive they've got going on at the moment - as if I'm going to donate to their little private club.The columnists don't like readers commenting on how laughable the writers' opinions sometimes are; hence, increasing absent comments sections.
Because the area on their webpage where these bizarre opinion pieces come from is called "Comment Is Free" ffs.I'm more than happy for places to stop allowing comments sections. Why is there a need for people to respond to every single thing published online? It's even started to creep into real life - Manchester art gallery had an exhibition recently where there was a rail beneath all artworks where people could place comment cards. It descended into farce pretty much immediately.
It's not called 'everyone's comment is free (or indeed necessary)' though, is it?Because the area on their webpage where these bizarre opinion pieces come from is called "Comment Is Free" ffs.
