Tounge tied

When making a pitch to an important group (boss, client, student body, a pretty girl etc) it is possible to get tongue tied: it happens to everyone.

The small minded

Australia day

Y’all on the central line platform with your painted southern cross egalitarian faceology … But I’m celebrating a different victory of the antipodes.
