It's the umlaut. The nonsense is gobsmacking, the servility pathetic, but the shit cherry on top of this shit cake is, undoubtedly that twee little grab for space on the faux intellectual high ground. What absolute--and I can't stress this strongly enough--wankers.

Accidentally neepless through my own poor planning, I’m fully in on the mash ‘n’ haggis. Sipping a low alcohol G&T and sending Burns’ night greetings out into the world #ConfinedCocktails

A plate contains a pile of creamy mashed potatoes adorned with three slices of crisply fried haggis. Behind the plate is a glass containing a gin and tonic, next to a can from M&S.

I love Tumblr because things like this, Ursula K Le Guin's takedown of Watership Down, come on my dash and it's incredible and eye-opening and I am so angry at myself for not having the critical thinking skills to even have noticed this before...

Using up leftover pomegranate juice on Boxing Day via the medium of a pomegranate cosmopolitan. Though I vaguely feel there should be a pomegranate cocktail out there called a Persephone…. #ConfinedCocktails
