Why men should wear a cummerbund; more great writing on Biden; the funniest person in the English language; a mysteriously empty Burger King; shut up and seize the day
👏💕Glad you are spending your limited number of weeks writing this enjoyable stuff! Totally agree - I can violently disagree with the message (the Biden bit) but appreciate the writing. Same with your soccer/football pieces (which sound like the writers at Colbert or Seth Meyers might have been involved 😁) even though I don't follow the sport.
One of my favourite "sports" programmes is retired top rugby referee, Nigel Owens, giving feedback on recent games & analysing controversial refereeing decisions in his Welsh accent, sometimes with curious bovines looking over his shoulder (he is now a farmer), and with his impish sense of humour when answering questions. Amazing to think he was a gay top referee in world rugby when times were much less tolerant in rugby circles. Again, he is often talking about games I have no interest in, but he makes it extremely watchable & I secretly learn things about obscure rugby Laws (not "rules" - he is firm on that!) for my obligatory All Blacks & other games I watch on TV.
As for an empty Burger King? Consumer has just done an article about spending habits on eat out/takeaway v supermarket ingredients for home cooked meals - perhaps people in this area all have air fryers &/or cutting down on takeaways?
Also meant to say, for us ladies the confusion between what we wear to a funeral or an awards ceremony etc. is not there! It is pretty obvious for most people ...
Hi Jesse. I would have pledged support for you but finding it was in $US put me off. Could you change it to $NZ so we can all understand what we are pledging please? Helen
Thanks Helen! Focus is on keeping it free in the foreseeable but the pledges are a great motivator to keep going and a happy signal it's being enjoyed. I've changed that over for you now, thanks is much for mentioning it

Agree Helen 👍🏾 thanks for bringing it up. Easier for budgeting.
