10 rules of biscuits:

1. When opening a packet, any broken biscuits must be consumed immediately.

2. Never dunk a biscuit for too long, you will ruin both your biscuit and your tea. Double sadness.

3. Always offer biscuits to guests, even if they claim they're not interested (they're probably fibbing).

4. Don't be the person who snatches the last biscuit of a kind unless you're prepared to face the consequences - i.e. a new enemy.

5. Always offer a hot drink with biscuits, obviously.

6. Bring out a posh selection of biscuits (metal tin, two layers separated by a sheet of springy purple cardboard, usually called a “collection”) for special occasions.

7. Always pretend you haven’t seen a plate of biscuits being passed around until they’re offered to you, then act pleasantly surprised.

8. Utilise the phrases “I really mustn’t”, “ooh, go on then” and “if you’re having one”.

9. Wrap biscuits up when not in use, either by pushing the open packet up against a wall, or by using a jar, tin or box.

10. Always have more biscuits in stock than you think you need. Never run out. Running out of biscuits is like running out of air: not ideal.

There are many more rules, but these 10 provide a good starting point.

@British_Airways a pain in the rear bottom to change a flight! It takes only 3h and then you can’t do it online and you have to call, pay again and be charged for. seriously.

You: “Only three days until Christmas!”

Your body: “Here, have a cold!”

Πραγματικά, @hellenicpolice είναι λυπηρο να ματαιώνονται οι φιλότιμες προσπάθειες σας από συναδέλφους σας που στην διατάραξη κοινής ησυχίας από μαγαζάτορα, ο μαγαζάτορας χτυπάει στον ώμο τον αστυνομικό ευχαριστώντας τον που θα φυγει χωρίς καμία σύσταση για να συνεχίσει το party.

@British_Airways Hi team, we are unable to check in and https://t.co/1sgKlHnvns requires we do so at the airport. The additional fare paid was done so in order to choose sour seat for free 48h prior to flight. This is a total #fail

[m @magdalini_s]

Hey @British_Airways - I am paying extra £27 for seats and early check in whilst you operate @Finnair and apparently neither of you can be contacted whilst I am in Athens, Greece. 🤷🏻‍♀️ how on Earth will I check in?!

RIP George Alagiah: gracious, funny, brave. A good man.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

There are few sayings more British than “better than a kick in the teeth”. Sums up British levels of optimism, expectation and acceptance perfectly.

Passion and power 🔥 Maria Callas sings a dramatic passage of Spontini's "Tu che invoco con orrore", from La Vestale, with Nicola Rescigno and the Sinfonieorchester des NDR.
