British and Kashgarian sarcasm come in different flavours. They leave different tastes in your mouth but equally funny and damaging. My 4th Substack post is here. Subscribe only if you enjoy reading it ;)

Sarcasm alert! https://t.co/2cMLghewu3

From Bella Ciao to Goodbye my friends https://t.co/d6rASWuvTR

Bella Ciao is one of my favourite songs, but probably not for the reasons you're thinking. This is my 3rd Substack post, I hope you enjoy reading it. Don't forget to subscribe if you do!

For the tour of @UniversityLeeds campus at 11:00 on Sunday 5 Feb we might well have a fine morning - like it was when I took this pic of the Great Hall.
So much to discover.
