One of those silly lists...
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

It's horrible, no matter where you are.

I'm so sick of modern British pop culture talking about this Nandos thing so much. It only really appeared since I moved abroad so I've never had it.

14, 3 and 21 are also true. On the other hand I've literally never heard anyone say 21.

They don't say 'soft drink' in Britain?  What do they say?  Maybe we should find one of those soda maps.
