A reminder, if it was needed, that we're more than just a one-trick pony.

1. Fire tweets.

Oh no. Madonna's at the front door of my nan's house again.

Very sad to see that the gender pay gap persists even in the anthropomorphic hoover community.

And the winner of the caption competition is...

4. Optimism.

It's November. It's raining. It's cold. An ice cream van has just pulled up. #OnlyInEngland

24. Creeping out our friends.

25. Trolling Americans.

I tried making biscuits & gravy like all the Americans said, but it was fucking horrible. Don't bother trying it.

Can we all establish that the pub near where I live has flooded and there's 2 guys drinking a pint like nouts wrong

28. Acronyms.

30. Quietly sniggering.

Obviously, it would be hugely childish & wrong to chuckle at Linus & Florian, the backbone of Germany's hockey team.
