The craziest thing about that is there's a video documenting the whole thing. It's on YouTube and well worth watching; probably one of the first, if not the first televised coup.

Saddam nonchalantly smoking a cigar while the auditorium's mood goes from confused to hysterical is something to behold. Properly chilling.

Found a clip narrated by the much missed Christopher Hitchens: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CR1X3zV6X5Y

Er, what? If I look at the clock and see it's 0955 I know exactly that it's 35 minutes. Same for every other example you give. If it's 1252, it's so easy to add 8 minutes then add whatever it is more. And you can do that for any time. Say 1017. "Oh no!" Never fear, the just add it to the time wangs are here: +13 to 30 and woah! Easy, foolproof and actually intuitive

Where did the trans stuff even come from, my dude? No mentioned it until you - weirdly - brought it up.

Good grief, that might be the worst customer service job I've ever heard of. I've worked Sainsbury's 'head office' - which was just the outsourced customer service centre for people who phone store chains to complain about cucumbers - and that was bad enough, but at least I got some good stories out of it ("My watermelon has exploded and I'm afraid of the second one. Can a man come round and take it away?" First ever call).

You were getting Mail readers who are already a self-selecting group of thick cunts and you were getting the worst of them. Jesus Christ, that must have been rough. So, so happy for you that you're out of that, I can't imagine what that would do to someone's mental health!

The second last time I went to a dentist, he told me I had been brushing my teeth wrong. Cool, bought the TeethIoniser5000 plus recommended toothpaste from his suggestion.

Last time I went to the dentist, he told me that I was still brushing my teeth wrong. "But the last guy?"

"Wrong. He was wrong."

Every fucking dentist has told me whatever way I brush my teeth, I'm doing it wrong, so fuck them. Now I just use my finger.

Don't do that, as I have one tooth left I use to open cans.

I'm genuinely thankful you've made it this obvious how much of a fucking moron you are as I can block you immediately and get on with my day.

I can't work out how to upvote this on the app as I have been at the pub. Take this comment as considerable appreciation for this image 🙏
