I will go first...first job after leaving school..thought you paid tax then at end of year got it all back! I thought it was some kind of loan to the government 😳 heard mam and dad mention getting '-tax-back' over the years and thought that was what happened!

When I told my mother that tulips could be prevented from flopping by poking a couple of times just below the head with a pin, I almost collapsed laughing next day when the flowers I'd given her were very upright but each had a couple of pins in the stems like a sword dance!

@AlbusSeverusMalfoy

Watching TOWIE the other day One guy Joey says he's Vegan, except for chicken. One of girls says 'no chicken is still meat' Joey says 'no chicken is poultry not meat as it's got 2 legs not 4' Girls says 'no chickens have 4 legs, don't they?'

How do you mean?

For me I was childless not by choice. Then realised people with kids are not always happy, and that my personal happiness was not dependent on having children.

That's sad but surely someone taught him stuff.

Maybe it's the place and the name because Joey Essex is known for saying Wales borders Russia and a square has 6 sides* 🤷🏻‍♀️
