Bought some @CadburyUK Heroes to take into work for my Brits abroad in BCN and my colleague picked out an EMPTY twirl. Just as well it wasn’t a caramel or fudge to be honest... #disaster
If today looks set to be a little sighful, the dictionary might bring a little cheer:
pandiculation: the act of yawning and stretching at the same time.
twithought: a half-formed idea that never really goes anywhere.
gobemouche: one who believes anything, no matter how absurd.
A far-right sniper supposedly planned to assassinate the Spanish president as revenge for exhuming Franco’s body. He said he was willing to “sacrifice himself for Spain”. Police don’t consider him a terrorist - instead, he’s a ‘lone wolf’. Good, innit?
@CambridgeWords Thank you for your reply. We are saddened by this but understand your reasoning. We will continue to use -ise in a bid to ease the decline.
Very sorry to hear of the death of my first headmaster, Nick Milner-Gulland. Helped fuel my love of cricket & debate, taught me Latin & the long lost art of hand-writing, & encouraged me to carpe diem.
A remarkable man. RIP. @CumnorHouse
